Also, the main reason there is such a disproportionate power disparity between adults and underagers in today's era is because underagers are legally disenfranchised, along with the fact that they are deliberately raised to keep them ignorant of various knowledge and facts of life (or at least, the attempt is made). Thus, the power disparity is largely artificial, and using it against both them and us is in many ways a form of political dirty pool.


I agree with this. You know something interesting? An IQ of 85 corresponds to the mental age of 11. And 85 falls in the average intelligence range (which is 85-115.) %70 of the adult population has an IQ between 85 to 115. Adolescents are not incompetent compared to adults. Older kids aren't, either.
