16 is now a child?

 

I see the age of marriage has been quietly raised to 18.  Probably because the lucrative education industry needs to keep young people imprisoned in school for another two years now.  The shit they come out with these days like "children's brains aren't fully formed till 25".  Gold plated crap up there with eugenics.  I'm 49 and just as immature as I was at 16 and... No one said that to me when they threw me out of school at 16 and it was the best day of my life.  I've done some real dead end jobs and had spells on the dole since leaving school but none of it was as stressful as school - a prison of pointless discipline, snobbery and unrealistic expectations.  And far more bullying than the workplace - most of it from teachers... Of course we still judge these young people old enough to have sex they're just not intelligent to know that they love each other.  Gold plated ageism.
