I agree with you. That is a very valid concern. ...but should we not be just as concerned by "at the direction of adults" regarding all these other issues?

Guns: kids have speech rights independent of parents, so doesn't fit well into the exemplar, but parents can compel speech. Abortions & trans health care: parent can't force you to have either. Parents can't force you to have sex. But they can marry you off.

I see your point, which is that some things are *allowed*, but this is a question of "what can your parents do to you" and in TN we have verified cases of "marry you off underage to a rapist" and that's a no.
