Rejected petition Abolish the age wage gap - there should only be one minimum wage.

From the ages between 16 to 18, we begin to pay for adult fares; gain the right to marry; vote; learn how to drive (with extortionate insurance rates); leave school and start university; have children and even own a property. In other words, we become adults so why are we paid like children?
