Are minors people?

Also, you will find yourself being ordered around to a much greater extent when you get a real job.

Jobs are not mandatory. If you do not show up for work there will not be a man at your door ready to bring you there, forceful if deemed necesary.

Thing about adults is, there are more orders that they can decide not to follow. Kids go to school, do their homework, go to bed. No say in the matter. An adult can have any lifestyle in the millions of different choices there are. The bottom line though...there is no other way to do it that works this well.
