I need to know, how can something be harmful to a 17 year old and not be harmful to a 18 year old?

Unless it's capable of singling out 17 year olds and not 18 year olds, it can't.

It could remove 17 years of life killing the 17 year old and turning the 18 year old into a baby, but that doesn't exist, besides the 18 year old would still be harmed.

I reserve the right to say whatever the fuck I want.
Freedom of speech does give me the right to be mean and rude and nasty.
Did I choose to be born? no
Is it illegal to be under 18? no
so why do my parents have the option of putting me in jail for it?
which is more dehumanising; a word that comes from saying the spanish name of a color wrong, or a word that means a female dog?

It's just like in the UK. If an 18 year old gets caught smoking weed, they just get a slap on the wrist but if a 17 year old does, they get arrested. 
It makes me wonder…

There are plenty of things that are harmful to 17-year-olds and not to 18-year-olds. The voting age, the age of majority, curfews…

Who are you voting for in the Presidential Election this November? Kerry? Bush? Oh, you mean you can't vote? Why is that? What kind of car do you drive? Ford? Jeep? Oh you mean you don't drive. Why is that? Why is that you can't just stay home for the rest of the year and not go to school? Why?"

I no a radio DJ that was telling me about how cops showed up at his party to tell everyone that their had been a shooting a couple blocks away. They had a shit load of weed and they didnt do a single thing about it.
5 miles away a guy at my school had his party busted with no weed or alcohal present. They just walked in their and busted as many people as possible. For disturbing the peace. Bullshit right?

Actually, I'm not so sure. Curfews harm people who're over 18 but want to hang out or do business with people who aren't, much as the drinking age harms people who're over 21 and want to drink with or sell drinks to people who aren't. The age of majority harms people who want to do business with minors, and it also harms parents by giving them too much power. And the voting age? Well, to see whom that harms we'd have to know what laws would be different without a voting age–and whether the repeal of the voting age would be associated with the imposition of some new requirement of intelligence or civic knowledge. It seems to me everyone would be better off if smart young people voted and older idiots didn't.
But certainly there are qualitatively different harms to people under 18 from these things, and harms that are more keenly felt.

That would make them newborn or a fetus.
