All the violent-state-oppression stuff applies to every law equally; I don’t think it gives a special reason to focus on laws affecting teenagers. Are you trying to convince us to become anarchists, or that the treatment of teenagers in rich countries is particularly unjust even within a statist framework? If the latter, I think it would be more productive to focus on the evidence you think shows that people’s beliefs around teenagers’ capacity are false; just linking your book doesn’t do much.
Even accepting the broader framing and the claim that teenagers are treated unjustly, you don’t make any case that this is competitive with other top causes. Even if we’re focusing on societal justice within rich countries (which I don’t think is good cause prioritisation), would-be immigrants seem more oppressed than teenagers to me.
(FWIW, I’m basically opposed to compulsory schooling after age 12, think teenagers should be given many more rights than they are, and tentatively think that parents should have substantially less power to override their children’s wishes on various things.)
