- You haven't graduated from high school, which means you probably aren't going to make more than minimum wage for most of your life.
- You don't have the income to support yourself, to pay for insurance, food, clothing, housing, vehicle and other necessities.
- You aren't mature enough to make good decisions.
- You aren't old enough to legally sign a contract, making it pretty hard to rent an apartment.
Addition on 28 August 2010: I would say that it depends on circumstances. I left home at 16 to travel; I had already graduated high school and I was able to support myself by getting various jobs here and there. If I needed a signature on something, my parents signed. It was frustrating sometimes that I could not get certain jobs due to my age, but other than that, it was not a big issue.
Also, someone who does not graduate high school can still get a GED any time later and can still get a good job. One of my family members makes over 80K per year for a big company but did not graduate high school, although most of her peers graduated college.
I don't agree that it is a sweeping statement that at 16 you aren't mature enough to make good decisions. Some people can make good decisions when they are 11; some people still can't make good decisions after they are 50. It is not based on age of the body.
