Personally I think the young kids are getting them, due to having the need to satisfy an identity crisis...

talked the young kids I know personally that have gotten them, and their response is usually something along the lines of it makes them an "individual"....hey look at me!!!

as my son sarcastically notes... they have to be an "individual".. just like everybody else..

also know that each one of these kids, has gone down and gotten on food stamps as soon as they turned 18.. and then spend it on beef jerky, Monster Sodas etc....but hey, that's another story...
