If you believe someone should be paid lower because of lower experience and education, then pay them based on their experience and education. Not on their age.
Otherwise, what experience and education do you expect that a brand new adult entering the job market to have that a teenager will not? An adult who needs (at least) minimum wage to be able to survive, and a week ago was a teenager. Who is going to hire such an adult when they could hire the teenager, with identical experience and education, for cheaper?
Low skill immigrants are still getting minimum wage aren't they? You're arguing that teenagers shouldn't even get that much. Or are you suggesting that low skill immigrants shouldn't get minimum wage either?
