When it comes to kids, we tend to baby them. We organize their lives and set limits on everything. If they want to do something outside those limits we tell them they are not old enough or they have not experienced enough of the world yet. After all, what can they possibly know about love, major decisions, and what is best for them? Yet somehow, despite all this, when they commit a crime we turn into hypocrites. Magically, they are geniuses who know everything about the world. In society’s eyes, they are no longer a child, but a monster.

“In our media-intensive culture it is not difficult to find differing opinions… The difficulty lies in deciding which opinion to agree with and which ‘experts’ seem the most credible” (Espejo 11). The perceptions of one age group in society of another age group are built upon assumptions that are made through what is visible. However, rarely is anyone willing to understand the reason behind someone’s actions. Sibling rivalry, the death of a loved one, moving to a new school, competition among peers, and the reputation adolescents have today often end up giving a misperception of society to teens and of teens to society, thus damaging the relationships between society, as illustrated by J.D. Salinger in The Catcher in the Rye.

In gangs, there are many jobs that must be done. The jobs in the gang can be done by any ages, such as adolescents, young adults, or even children. The children that work in gangs can be so young that they are still in elementary school (AACAP). The kids do easy and dangerous jobs that would not bring any attention to them. For instance, being a lookout for cops on the corner would most likely be a job a child does. These jobs put them in harm's way. They could be arrested, or they could be killed by another member of rival gangs. children are small in size and do not look threatening, which in turn keeps them out of the police sites. This also makes them a good asset on a team since they can get away with more than an adult can. Having children in gangs is a big issue, even today and the book The Other Wes Moore shows an insight of how children in gangs work and how they act to each other.

One of the most important lessons anyone can teach you is that is is okay to be afraid, and Shaggy Rogers of Mystery Inc. does that effortlessly. Every single episode of Scooby Doo, in every single version and in every single movie, involves a scene where Shaggy is scared beyond his wits, and the the only thing he can do to make a solution is run. In this day in age, when discussing fight or flight reactions, the fight aspect is revered. A person who chooses to fight in the heat of battle instead of running away is a hero. They represent everything a person should strive to be, and if you prefer to preserve yourself and move as fast as you possibly can, you’re a wimp, a coward. Shaggy gives those who flight instead of fight, hope. He shows
