They "kill for the thrill", yet even more shocking is when the face behind the killer is that of an adolescent.

    Textual evidence indicates that teens cannot control their anger and it leads them to commit murder, an example can be found in an article published by Daily Mail where a “12-year-old boy murder his six-month-old baby brother by stabbing him 17 times… The mother told police the boy had not been at school that day as she had an argument with him” (Mail Online). The youngster also told police “I was in the room for a couple of minutes, I was among to her my brother by stabbing him 17 times” (Mail Online). From this article, it goes to show that juveniles are well aware of that they are going to do before they commit the crime, and the anger has control over him. This is true because Jennifer Jenkins wrote an article “On Punishment and Teen Killers,” where she stated, “As a high school teacher, I have worked lovingly with teens all my life and I understand how hard it is to accept the reality that a 16 or a 17 yearly is capable of forming such requisite criminal intent” (Jenkins, 4).…

    Juvenile justice system is the area of criminal law applicable to persons not old enough to be held responsible for criminal acts. The age for criminal culpability is set at 18 years. In my opinion Juveniles should be convicted as adults for violent crimes because if any child is capable of doing adult crimes, then they should be treated as an adult in an adult prison or jail. If they can commit adult crimes, they should get adult punishment.…

    “A handful of moments I wished I could change, but I was carried away,” are the lyrics that remind a lot about myself. Growing up, and even about two years ago, I was insanely shy and did not talk much around people, friends, or family. The way I talked to people was in a timid, soft spoken way, which looking back, was awfully embarrassing. My friends and family would laugh at me because I could not talk well, and when I did talk, they acted as if I were a baby who just said its first words. With all of that nonsense going on, their idiotic response kind of made me not want to say anything anymore.…

Because some youth think they cannot be charged as adults, they commit violent crimes without thinking first (Estudillo). Teens that commit crimes have not felt tough enough consequences, which is why they continue to have out of control behavior. Teens that act like this are used to dealing minor consequences that do not teach them to do better next time.…
