What's the obsession with 15 year olds?
Tatsujin:
One of the other major reasons reflecting anime series like Code Geass and Macross Frontier is because younger people tend to have mixed feelings with first love, experiencing new things and trying to adapt to them, arguing with them, happy, sad, etc. They're teens or young adults that act like acts (makes you think when you were younger to think that "I'm a grown man" or "woman" so I'm already in the adult world).
One of the terms or the reality of being a full fledged adult is being able to support yourself on your own feet without the help of anyone else; money, feelings, place to stay, etc. This is just one of them. There are many other terms.
I'm at work. Bah! I'll finish this some other time.

Storytellers also want a blank slate, as it makes character developement much simpler. Youth, amnesia, sudden revelations of destiny, they're all used because it's much easier to write and to sell something that starts at square one. Youth also has the advantage of attracting a demographic which demands relatable characters.

the target audience is one point, the second is just showing how ppl should react quickly about making up what they want to do in life, if you early find a job you want to do (whether it's piloting, police investigation, mass murder, crimelord, sorceror, alchemist, etc, it's important to start early :]

Ugh. I'm getting discouraged from watching Gundam Wing.

It's a good show. I've seen it on the American TV (back when I thought English were the shyyyyt! haha). I actually would recommend Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed + DESTINY + Gundam 00. You can also knock out the new movies for Gundam Seed DESTINY and Gundam Wing (Movies ... 2 movies I think?).
