The term 'minor' has become a euphemism for considering a person under 18 years of age as a slave. The lack of choices given to youths and young adults is inhumane, unconstitutional, and violates everything we hold dear. None of the amendments of the Bill of Rights, or the original Constitution as a whole, seem to apply to such persons.
It has been scientifically proven that 'minors' are not fully developed, and may make bad decisions in life. Therefore, it is our duty to educate them of the differences between right and wrong, but it is inhumane to deny them basic liberties. Why should we postpone knowledge from being given to the young? They will develop, and become beneficial members of society, much more quickly than if we inhibit what they can learn and what they can do.
