    Default Should the age of majority be moved to 16?

    By this, I mean that everything, from the drinking age, to the marriage age, to the age of legal independence, will be moved to 16.

    I support it, since 16 year olds are almost always reproductively capable.

    Yes in some cases.

    People at this age should be prosecuted as an adult if their actions have infringed upon others' rights, such as vandalism, theft, burgalry, murder, rape etc... because at 16 years of age a person has enough mental faculties to refrain from intent to harm.

    Discomfort, pain, physical and emotional, and attachment to belongings are things that people learn from a young age, and as such wouldn't want inflicted upon them or their property, refraining from harming others is very basic and at 16 years old you should not be exempted from punishment if you commit violent crimes.

    And no in some other cases.

    This age is too young for legal majority to marry, have children, drink, smoke and use other types of drugs. Marriage and children require maturity that you'll only get through life experience, and at 16 people usually are not very mature. Drug consumption harms growth and mental development and should only be done, if at all, after 21, at least.

    "Advanced " education is for older then 18 years like college. 16 years old goes to high school and that is normal part of education in civilized societies.

    I'm for more education for everyone. And I'm against children making children.

    16 year olds are minors, but they're not children.
