@ArbiterMaul "Jugendweihe happens when a child turns 14. It involves a similar ceremony, party, and gifts, marking the next stage of growing up. With all the negativity heaped on adolescents, there’s something to be said for this way of celebrating young adulthood."

@ArbiterMaul Most Americans grow up in a society that infantilizes them. They are taught that they are irresponsible, stupid idiots until sometime in their mid-20s. This is cultural. It is not based on any facts. Societies that don't do that get much better results.
