Bad Choices

Imagine you read a book that 2 kids were stranded in an island while at camp. when they got out of the island and they don't return to there camp. On there adventures there Actions that negatively affected a lot of people. On the way Crimes where done in the process and They went to places they shouldn’t go. You think they should be punished? This are all the actions that Howie and Laura and there Decisions were childish and immature and should be punished

Children should be charged with the same sentence as adults, even though they are young they still commented a serious crime to point where they must be punished for it in a proper way,not in a lesser punish due to age.

"A person's a person, no matter how small” (Seuss). All people should be held responsible if they commit a crime. As Doctor Seuss stated, kids are people too; therefore, Children should also be held responsible for their actions. The crime that is committed should dictate the legal action enforced upon the youth and the child´s mental stability should be assessed when sentencing a child.

In the light of extreme juvenile cases, the juvenile system has conceded age exceptions, by allowing juveniles that commit heinous crimes to be divided into a system where they aren’t tried as an adult based on the fact that they’re only kids. If the belief that they are only kids, shouldn’t they learn that when their kids, the actions they commit have consequences. Although it’s understandable if the juvenile system argues, that for many kids, their parents play a huge part on their developments, but in the case that there is parental neglect, and they don’t know the consequences of their actions, then they shouldn’t be tried as an adult, largely based on the fact that they don’t have parents to teach them values, and the result is that their brains are incapable of knowing the capacities of their actions. If this is the result, then the reasons to not tried them as an adult, is correct, but the reasons to

Every juvenile who commits a severe crime should be tried as an adult. Juveniles should understand the differences in between both good and bad. Most kids that are 15 and older are the ones committing the worse crimes, by that age they should understand the differences in between both good and bad. Every person in the world should be able to think before they do, being able to think before you do will help you understand what you're doing and help you understand the difference in between both the good and the bad. The parents of the juveniles should also understand that some crimes are severe and have severe punishments. Juveniles need to know that

Yes, they deserve a consequence and their actions should not be dismissed, but they should be put through help first and see the real cause of the issue. They should be the kids in juvenile detention centers until they become eighteen, which is when they are truly adults, and then see how these kids have improved or if they are only worse. Based off of how the trial goes when they turn eighteen they can be given a fair trial now that they are the age of adulthood. They are young kids who are just starting their lives and should be given a chance to prove that this mental break down is not who they are. They are more than just a mistake, even if the mistake was this huge. If a child has been under abuse for years it should play a role in their case hearings, because it can take a huge toll on their mental state. In one of the videos the class watched was about a judge who sentenced a boy to life in prison without parole, but she said that this young man did not deserve this sentence and it was to harsh of a

Parents give consequences because they want their children to know that they should not be making the same mistake twice.

Kids that get punished want to hurt other innocent kids that didn’t do anything to them. Students getting in trouble in school does not help them to stop being mean to other kids. Innocent children have to deal with

In my opinion I dont think kids should deserve to be tried as adults. There just kids that made a big mistake . They should be kept till they turn into adults then release them. After the time they did in Juvenile they will learn from there mistakes and never commit it again.Also should receive the proper education for there selfs and needs to live there life

In my opinion, there is more than just the child who does wrong. It is society ,parents, and schools.

Many things can contribute to what you think is morally right or wrong. Religion, for example, may create a barrier on to what extent you do something. Some religions set rules, or guidelines on which they limit what people do. Cultures, as well, contribute to people’s decisions. Many times our values and ethics disagree with different people who hold different

Where I stand on this topic is that all human beings are very individualistic. We have the ability to choose and act based upon our free will. We may choose to do something that isn’t always responsible or for the benefit of others ,but those are some of choices we choose to make. We are incapable of choosing the worst thing possible for ourselves. We act upon what we feel is best for us at the moment or in the future, even though we aren’t always right. Although we are raised in a society were there are morals, norms, and rules we tend to ignore them at times and do things that are irresponsible and immoral. As humans we perform these irresponsible or immoral acts even though we know the consequences that come with our actions. No

As adolescents, we have all made mistakes, some big some small but it never crossed our minds that one of these mistakes could change our lives forever. In this day in age, it's ludicrous to hear youth suspects receive harsh sentencing; being forced to go to an adult jail or prison, or in rare cases getting put on death row. “The practice of charging young people as adults gained momentum in America in the 1990s, as youth crime spiked” ("Children in Adult Jails"). Some argue that these pre-teens and/or teens should receive harsh sentencing regardless of their age because they were old enough to know right from wrong. Others believe juveniles should be tried as adults in certain circumstances, depending on the crime and its severity. On the other hand, many people believe youth offenders should receive a higher juvenile sentence as opposed to an adult sentence. This

Children are going to continue to make mistakes, but they will learn from them just like adults do. So why would we punish them for it? When positive guiding children we can help them see and understand consequences from the choices they make. By using punishment instead of positive discipline can cause possible side effects, such as blocking open communications, punishment represses behaviour, but doesn’t deal with the behaviour, models a negative use of power, and to have continue effect it must escalate in order to remain it’s effectiveness. Using punishment as discipline will create a negative relationship between educator/parent and child. This could lead the child to have negative thoughts about themselves creating a low self-esteem.

Being immoral damages our own humanity. “From now on, those whose ambitions it is to give men instruction, to provide them with precepts, will be charlatans if they they want to rise above you, or will all be your imitators” (Cicero, On Duties, Book III, in: Selected Works, p. 157). Humans naturally choose to do the right thing to be better humans. They have to learn to have morality between each other.
