There's nothing wrong about deciding on your life's path at 13 and then
working towards it...but as I said, active duty at 16-17 IMO is
ridiculous...most kids that age think they're mature enough to handle
adult situations, but they're not. Cas ein point, teenage marriages that
fail, unwed mothers, abortions, and the other things you mentioned (I
don't quite know where priesthood fits in there since you have to be a
degreed adult to take your final vows and can't even take the secular vows
until you're 18...)


Actually, according to recent studies, that doesn't change until about 25.
The brain is still not mature until that age, apparently.
