    That’s a little strange that you are legally a child until so late in life.

    Other countries have definitions like you are a youth at 14 to 16 and you have a different set of rights and responsibilities than a child.

      There’s some rights and privileges granted to minors at 15 or 16, about driving and working. Age of consent tends to hover around 17 or 18 aside from a handful of states.

      Edit: LOL @ the downvote.
