Maybe thats one of the problems now days that we say we cannot stop them from this or that and we just keep giving them more room to do what they want. If we lower the age that would then bring some kids in High School legal to drink and its also gives kids more people to buy them beer. It was 18 when I was growing up but back then we did not need metal detectors in school, guys came to school with shot guns hanging in the back of their trucks (was no big deal), we could have a knife in school, teachers could discipline a kid without fear of committing a crime, .... etc.... etc.... Times have changed and I'm not sure if it would make a difference either way.
