Should children be forced to stay in school past age 16?

Children at the age of 16 possess underdeveloped thought processes.  For this reason they should not be allowed to drop out of school.  There are many kids who will decide they hate school by the time they are only 16 and then realize later in life (maybe only a few years later) that they regret their decision.  Obviously society would be much better off with more and more high school diplomas, so why not raise the statistics?  If we kept all kids in high school until age 18, then there will be many more people graduating.  There would also be much more regret in the country.
