As chance would have it, I joined the United States Marine Corps when I was 17. My mother had to sign a waiver permitting me to join. I was definitely a kid. I had sparse beard growth and very little body hair. Technically, at 17, Trayvon Martin and I were both adolescents. Are you more comfortable with that term? How about teen, teenager, youth, juvenile, minor? We have a legal age of majority in this country. That age is 18. Trayvon Martin could not own property, drive a car, join the military, or get married without his parents' consent. He was a kid.
