    Kids at ages 7-17 are considered juveniles and can be sentenced to an adult without the possibility of parole (Aliprandini 2). James Stewart was one of the two suicides by young people in Colorado jails that help spur a significant change in state laws (Schwartz 8). States are trying to keep more juvenile offenders in the juvenile justice system instead of being tried as adults. Teens shouldn’t be tried as adults because their brains aren’t fully developed, they have a chance of rehabilitation, and adult prisons aren’t safe.…

    A widespread opinion in the United States, and presumably elsewhere in the western world today, it that teenagers are irresponsible and emotional, not to mention ungrateful. While these traits may not necessarily be the fault of the teenagers themselves, rather the society and the ways in which they were raised in, this opinion is still present.

While it is true that teenagers can be emotional due to fluctuating hormones and at times irresponsible, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they cannot have an effect on the world in which they live. Three prominent examples of these in fairly recent history include Mary Shelley, Christopher Paolini,…
