definitely not.

no

you should be able to when you leave school and are out earning money or gone on to further education or claiming state bennifits for that matter, but there's still 16 year old's at school, so no to 16 but yes to finished high school.

too expensive to administer, and the administrators are too lazy to do so anyway

True.... But since they could find themselves parents pretty quickly they probably would have to grow up in a very short time.

Surprised there hasn't been a poll put up for this, but only those *over* the age of 16 can vote in it. If it passes, they can add in their votes as well. ;)
