Yhipz, the point of M rated games is that they're intended for mature audiences. Kids are not that mature and sometimes can't tell the difference from things that take place in a game than in real life. Plus, game developers don't want any backlash from parents because their child happened to play one when he/she clearly isn't old enough. Not only that, kids tend to get picked on by older people for playing a game outside their age range, and they tend to be called Squeakers if they voice chat.
