    Honestly it’s pretty disingenuous to lump children and teenagers together, especially if talking about all the way to 17 or even 19

    Hi, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.

        Teenagers are still children. They don’t have developed brains. Also take into account that teenagers are growing up more slowly than they did in the past. It is not disingenuous to put them together in the same statistic.

        Commenter below mentions that the statistic used is Americans under the age of 18. They are not adults mentally or legally. They are children.

          24 year olds don’t have developed brains either. What’s your point?
