American kids are immature

From where is stand I think lowering the drinking age in America would not work at all. In other places, with lower drinking limits teens are pretty mature and they don't really have a lot of restrictions, therefore, having to mature way faster than other individuals. In central America some teens at a very young age have to work and are pretty much put out into the real world at a very young age, some kids don't even go to school. So they mature at an exponential rate compared to American kids. Americans teens and I'm not saying all are, but a majority are very sheltered, they're kept safe in their suburbs and sheltered from a lot. Mentally they're very immature and mixing that with alcohol I think a lot of bad will come out of it. A lot of bad does come out of underage drinking despite having really strong alcohol laws, you hear about drinking and driving, and allegations of sexual assault. I really think that lowering the drinking age would not only be a really bad thing to do but it would further enable teens to develop bad drinking habits and would only lead towards more chaos.
