I agree wholeheartedly with this. It is the very same reason why minors aren't allowed to drive, smoke, gamble, consume alcohol, etc... and more importantly, why kids aren't tried as adults. I remember in my psychology course we touched upon brain development in different life stages, and the brain doesn't even fully develop until you're into your twenties... I used to think this same thing, especially about the stuff I just listed (being unfair, that is), but many of these people will really appreciate this when they are older. As you said, it is truly for young people's safety in mind.
