Well put sillygirl. I really like your last paragraph.
I'm not sure it is up to 3rd parties though to say when a person is ready to be held responsible for their decisions. We have to go by one of two ages: the one the law implements or the one the parent implements. All people are different and need to be raised based on that. Not one parenting technique will work for all. So maybe, because of that, some 14 year olds are responible enough to be held responsible. On the other hand, others struggle with self-responsibility up to and past 18, but that is where the law steps in.
"Sometimes you need to let your kid figure shit out on their own."
This is one of the most correct viewpoints I think a parent can have. Now, I don't think a parent should eschew teaching, but some things must just be learned by doing.
