I used to believe that if you bought an "M" (Mature 17+) video game, and you were under 17, even if you were 16 and 364 days, you would either go to jail, or be forced to watch Barney forever. I'm 12 now and I'm horrified to see other year olds play Mature's, but I do have 1 or 2 which I got unaware of the rating. I also thought some thing similar between the ages of 3-6 about "T" (Teen 13+) games, but I got my first "T" when I was 7. I was horrified at first, but now I almost exclusivly buy "T" games.
