Message: [QUOTE="NC'cusefan, post: 529337, member: 2952"] It is a fact that the male brain develops slower than a females and does not mature until the age of 25. The ability to make sound mature decisions and the full development of the frontal lobe takes time. People shouldn't even drive until much later than 16. Here is a nice little article/ interview about it.
