Granted Spuggs there will always be some more or less mature in any age bracket, but at 16 the kids are still developing themselves. They're just about starting to see adult concepts & it's a whole world away from whatever they've experienced previously.

Classic cases, look at the threads on here, how cynical, jaded & disillusioned are some of the points in reference to Politicians & Politics ? Then there are those who are adamant that whatever their Party does is right irrespective of the fallout ! The Majority of these views are put forward by folk in what ? 20+ & upwards to our Old Codgers !

At least these people have had a vast wealth of life experiences so can better judge a situation & the likely outcome, with age comes wisdom & admittedly cynicism. But the fact is it's age that gives folk this insight & intuition, so with that in mind surely for the age to be older rather than younger is the best course ?
