Teenagers don't need to live on this wage, but their parents need to have sufficient margin in their wages to support that.

  Yes, but the alternative is that the teen sits around all summer causing trouble instead of having a job because the minimum wage is too high.

    Hobbies, friends, summer school, cheap or free youth groups, parent sponsered events...

    No, that isn't the alternative. There are thousands of summer programs, most educational in nature, which would be teaching the kid much more useful stuff than how to scoop ice cream.
