RyansWorld: 22nd Century Teenagers

From Future

The teenagers of the 22nd century will have the exact same rights as adults thanks to matriarchy, the Singularity (and its role in increase human intelligence and levels of enlightenment), and erudite forms of music replacing rock and roll music. Delinquency will be eliminated because teenagers are not treated worse than convicted felons or military soldiers. By the year 2105, it will be declared by the laws of the United States of Earth that childhood legally ends when a man has his first "wet dream" or when a woman gets her first period, not at an artificial age barrier set by a paternalistic society.

Whole new avenues will emerge, but teenagers will almost exceed the standards of that time period. Free from the bonds of patriarchal tyranny that has held them for more than a century, teenagers will become politicians, poker champions, horror movie fans (from a younger age than it is possible in 2008), breadwinners, corporate executives, and eventually wealthier than their parents.
