ohai
I'm LifeMushroom, most of you might know me. I own a board called LMLair, and I used to be a NSMBW hacker. I've been here for a while, but didn't bother to log in. |

yep
Posted by Squiddy Why shouldn't he/she. This is a big issue, and you really shouldn't do that just because of a couple of issues in life. Just relax. Perhaps listening to music is a good idea. Your parents can, and will help you, unless they're total dipwads. |

I log in. I'm trying to send a PM. Then it says I have to login a few minutes later when I try to send it.
On another note, when I log in, close the tab, and wait a few minutes, I get logged out. |

Well, I might as well get a little active. I haven't known many people here, so it'll be interesting to see what'll be asked.  |

Acmlmboard seems to put unwanted space after my h3 tag for some reason.
EDIT: It's fixed. |

Neuroscientists now know that brain maturation continues far later into development than had been believed previously. Significant changes in brain anatomy and activity are still taking place during young adulthood, especially in prefrontal regions that are important for planning ahead, anticipating the future consequences of one’s decisions, controlling impulses, and comparing risk and reward. Indeed, some brain regions and systems do not reach full maturity until the early or mid-20s. Should this new knowledge prompt us to rethink where we draw legal boundaries between minors and adults?
Maybe, but it’s not as straightforward as it seems, for at least two reasons. First, different brain regions and systems mature along different timetables. There is no single age at which the adolescent brain becomes an adult brain. Systems responsible for logical reasoning mature by the time people are 16, but those involved in self-regulation are still developing in young adulthood. This is why 16-year-olds are just as competent as adults when it comes to granting informed medical consent, but still immature in ways that diminish their criminal responsibility, as the Supreme Court has noted in several recent cases. Using different ages for different legal boundaries seems odd, but it would make neuroscientific sense if we did it rationally. Second, science has never had much of an influence on these sorts of decisions. If it did, we wouldn’t have ended up with a society that permits teenagers to drive before they can see R-rated movies on their own, or go to war before they can buy beer. Surely the maturity required to operate a car or face combat exceeds that required to handle sexy movies or drinking. Age boundaries are drawn for mainly political reasons, not scientific ones. It’s unlikely that brain science will have much of an impact on these thresholds, no matter what the science says. … Children are so variable in their growth and the ways in which cultures understand child development are so different, it is futile to attempt to pin down the “right” age of majority. The Dutch, for example, allow children to drink at the age of 16 but not to drive until they are 19. Even if I thought it was a good idea to lower the drinking age and raise the driving age — and I do — I recognize that the U.S. would never embrace it. We should require all 18-year-olds in America to leave home and give a year to society, either in the military or in community-based projects. I am more concerned with the issue of maturity than I am with the technical age of majority. Researchers and observers have noted that while our children are getting brighter (I.Q. scores have been going up for the last two decades), they are relatively immature for their ages in comparison to earlier generations. Over-protected by their parents and spending vast amounts of time in front of TV, computers and cellphones (over 50 hours a week by middle adolescence, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation), they are less skilled in the world, less able to build friendships and function in groups, and more reliant on their parents. Instead of fiddling with the age of majority, we should encourage our children to grow up, and mandatory service would do just that. We should require all 18-year-olds in America to leave home and give a year to society, either in the military or in community-based projects like tutoring younger children or working in retirement homes or the inner city. The result would be a cohort of more mature 19-year-olds who would make better workers and better citizens. |

Clicking a bbcode which would put the code AND the closing tag and would set the cursor in the middle would be useful. |
