    That's pretty low for American kids. Some Americans wouldn't even dare compare Somalia to the United States with anything.

    Somalia has less government which means more investment (according to some Libertarian) which means more better place to live.

    Juvenile and children's labour (both sexes) That one guy named Karl Marx


    We consider the tendency of modern industry to make children and juvenile persons of both sexes co-operate in the great work of social production, as a progressive, sound and legitimate tendency, although under capital it was distorted into an abomination. In a rational state of society every child whatever, from the age of 9 years, ought to become a productive labourer in the same way that no able-bodied adult person ought to be exempted from the general law of nature, viz.: to work in order to be able to eat, and work not only with the brain but with the hands too.
    However, for the present, we have only to deal with the children and young persons of both sexes divided into three classes, to be treated differently [a]; the first class to range from 9 to 12; the second, from 13 to 15 years; and the third, to comprise the ages of 16 and 17 years. We propose that the employment of the first class in any workshop or housework be legally restricted to two; that of the second, to four; and that of the third, to six hours. For the third class, there must be a break of at least one hour for meals or relaxation.
    It may be desirable to begin elementary school instruction before the age of 9 years; but we deal here only with the most indispensable antidotes against the tendencies of a social system which degrades the working man into a mere instrument for the accumulation of capital, and transforms parents by their necessities into slave-holders, sellers of their own children. The right of children and juvenile persons must be vindicated. They are unable to act for themselves. It is, therefore, the duty of society to act on their behalf.
    If the middle and higher classes neglect their duties toward their offspring, it is their own fault. Sharing the privileges of these classes, the child is condemned to suffer from their prejudices.
    The case of the working class stands quite different. The working man is no free agent. In too many cases, he is even too ignorant to understand the true interest of his child, or the normal conditions of human development. However, the more enlightened part of the working class fully understands that the future of its class, and, therefore, of mankind, altogether depends upon the formation of the rising working generation. They know that, before everything else, the children and juvenile workers must be saved from the crushing effects of the present system. This can only be effected by converting social reason into social force, and, under given circumstances, there exists no other method of doing so, than through general laws, enforced by the power of the state. In enforcing such laws, the working class do not fortify governmental power. On the contrary, they transform that power, now used against them, into their own agency. They effect by a general act what they would vainly attempt by a multitude of isolated individual efforts.
    Proceeding from this standpoint, we say that no parent and no employer ought to be allowed to use juvenile labour, except when combined with education.
    By education we understand three things.
    Firstly: Mental education.
    Secondly: Bodily education, such as is given in schools of gymnastics, and by military exercise.
    Thirdly: Technological training, which imparts the general principles of all processes of production, and, simultaneously initiates the child and young person in the practical use and handling of the elementary instruments of all trades. [The German text calls this "polytechnical training." -- Ed]
    A gradual and progressive course of mental, gymnastic, and technological training ought to correspond to the classification of the juvenile labourers. The costs of the technological a schools ought to be partly met by the sale of their products.
    The combination of paid productive labour, mental education bodily exercise and polytechnic training, will raise the working class far above the level of the higher and middle classes.
    It is self-understood that the employment of all persons from 9 and to 17 years (inclusively) in nightwork and all health-injuring trades must be strictly prohibited by law.

    ^ Makes sense. Pretty progressive, even for modern times.

    You guys have it alright. The kids over here are fucking boring. They don't even take any hard drugs, let alone even fight each other. They'd much rather wear designer clothes and post on Twitter. They all act like women. I yearn for a time where they start snorting coke and shooting one another.

    Sixteen? Drinking and driving? That's been going on a lot in the past few decades. Hell, even before that. What is truly rediculous to me is that this nine year old boy shot an eight year old girl, shot, with a gun! Surely, we are doing such a poor job in teaching our children morality that they are starting to absolutely lose their minds before they reach the age of puberty.

    Not that big of a deal.See when you grow up with drugs and violence you its natural to you.Most people here probably grew up in middle class families so never had to deal with it.Plus families who are involved gey there kids that way I seen a 15 year old getting beating to a pulp by his own brother because he dropped a bar of weed into water.

    I'm pretty sure Colombia is the home of straight cocaine.
