This reminds me of an article in a recent SciAm called "The Myth of the Teenage Brain". Essentially the idea that teenagers are mentally different from adults is a complete farce with all the scientific data pointing to mental maturity before 13. Amazing how fast science gets chucked out the window in favor of an easy scapegoat...
