Do many places require this? Maybe its just the areas Ive been is, but I havent seen a single place in real life that requires this

Depends where you are. Around here, it's pretty standard for restaurants and other places that are supposed to require it, but we've got a government that's actually been pretty good about trying to stop Covid (at least until recently, since the new premier seems content to throw his hands up and say there's nothing he can do to stop the current, massive explosion of cases, which I'm sure is totally unrelated to the number of people that voted for him under the belief that he would lift all Covid restrictions entirely despite that not actually being a part of his platform). In much of the US, though, local governments are actively resisting the idea of requiring it, so it's not happening so much.

I wonder if thats true, though. Maybe he was having a hard time since his parents didnt want to give him one. I wish we could hear whether he wanted it or not

It did occur to me that that could have been an issue. Presumably, he did want it, since otherwise there would be an assault charge thrown in there (non-consensual poinking is no bueno), but depending on the local laws, I could see him being unable to make that decision for himself. I think 16 is the cutoff for medical self-determination around here (with some exceptions, like anything sex-related can be done without parental involvement at any age), but it wouldn't surprise me if it's 18 in some states.
