I have a bias: I've been fighting for youth rights in different
  ways ever since I was a teenager. On the early Internet (1990),
  I started up a general youth rights group for discussing issues
  like ageism and such. I was 18 yrs old at the time I started it,
  and I passed the torch on to others 7 yrs later. A number of
  groups were offshoots of my online mailing list including TCS
  (Taking Children Seriously - a parenting movement) and NYRA - a
  US-based political rights organization. The founders of each met
  each other in my group and when I gently suggested they start
  their OWN groups and showed them how so they could focus better
  on their issues, they did and have become very successful.
  [1]https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYRAyouthrights/ - I'm not
  running this stuff anymore, not for a very long time. [I never
  ran NYRA - I just helped the founders found on the limited tools
  available back then] - they currently focus a lot on lowering
  the voting age to 16, drinking age regulations and stuff like
  that. So, my bias declared: I always thought age =/= wisdom.
