The confirmation seems like a formality. I'm sure you've heard about the Catholics who get confirmed and never go to church again, maybe when they get married or on Easter. The confirmation should be done at a much later age, I agree. Once you're no longer under such a stong influence of your parents. More like whenever you're actually ready for it. It is supposed to a rite you actually decide for yourself, but that's not really the case. If that's what it's intended to be then it should at least be done after 18.
