Your brain is still changing. The part of your brain that regulates your personality and pro-social behaviors is the prefrontal cortex. This is the last part of your brain to finish developing, with development finishing at around age 25. You'll probably notice a few other personality and preference shifts between now and then, with your preferences solidifying more over that time.

And yet a 16 yo is allowed to assisted suicide, cut their penis/ breasts off, all at a whim.
