Rejected petition Make the minimum wage for everyone the same regardless of age

I think the fact the minimum wage for people under 18 is different to people 21 and over is so wrong.

Many young people I know who are 16 need help to fully look after themselves and survive on the same as adults. So why should we have to survive on £4 ?
