3-No I don't think teens should be tried as adults, because a lot of kids don't know any better and adults do. 18 is the age the responsibility comes and I believe thats the age kids should be tried as an adult. So basically when kids can move out and live on their own I think they should be tried as an adult.
1.7 I think it should depend on the crime that the teen did and how old they are to 18. Because if your 15 and tried as an adult for a bad crime you could be in there for like 15 or more years and go to a real jail. I think it just depends on the crime committed and the age of the person. I think the minimum age should be 17 because that's closer to an adult. I'm not sure what my opinion would be if it was someone close to me... maybe I wouldn't want them to be tried as an adult no matter if they were 17. I think that juveniles who commit bad crimes such as permitted murder shouldn't be tried as an adult but when they get out at 18 put them under watch or something.
1.25 No I don't think teens should be tried as adults, because a lot of kids don't know any better and adults do. 18 is the age the responsibility comes and I believe that's the age kids should be tried as an adult.So basically when kids can move out and live on their own I think they should be tried as an adult.
1.4 Children should not be prosecuted and sentenced like adult because they know and arent adults yet. They should only be senteced to the major crime. the minimum age for being tried as an adult should at least be 16 cause they are almost an adult. My opinion wouldnt change. i would say that any age that does a major crime should get charged.
1.1 I think that teens who commit major crimes should serve the same sentences as adults. If a teen commits murder it doesnt matter what the age is because murder is murder no matter who does it. I think the minimum age to be considered an adult should be 16 because at that age kids pretty much have all of the same responsibilities as adults do. In conclusion teens should be tried for the same sentences as adults if the crime is major.
1.24. I think that maybe depending on what they actually did maybe for like murder should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults. Killing someone is killing someone you should be treated for the crime that you had done whether your a kid or not taking a life is something that you can never apologize for. Some that they should be warranting adult sentences for is like killing, rape, etc. other's like stealing kids don't understand if they've done something wrong, now if they're like an older teen like 17 then yes they should no matter what. They're close to being an adult so they should be treated like one. Maybe the minimum age should be like 10, because from then on they should know what they're doing and be responsible for their actions. I would definitely be upset but if they did something wrong then they need to take the consequences. I think probably go to jail for killing someone that's taking a life and it's not okay to do even if you are an adult
I think teens should NOT be sentenced like adults for adult-like crimes. I think this because teens don't know what's right. Adults should know! The minimum age you should be tried as an adult is 21. i think this because, this is the age that adults consider us adults. My opinion would be the same. Juveniles who commit drastic adult-like crimes should go to jail. This is what I think about teens being sentenced like adults.
1.29 I think teens should be tried as adults. I think this because if they were serial killers when they were kids they're going to be even wierder as adults. In the novel for instance eric poole killed five pepole. I am going to predict that once he gets released he is going to kill more people. Inconclusion I think kids shouyld be tried as adults
1.10 I don't think kids should be tried as adults, because they might have screwed up and they have to learn from it not be sent to prison. they should still have consequences for there crimes but not be tried as adults and there never going to have a chance to learn from it and come out of jail and screw up again. That's why I think kids should not be tried as adults.
1.23 i think teen should have a lite punishment for adult like crime depending the crime. for example if a teen murders someone then yea they should be charged as an adult but if you gt in a fight then teens shouldn't get in as much trouble as adult.i think once your 18 is when you should be tried as an adult. It think if they committed a crime that was bad i would think he deserved his punishment. I think if their juveniles and commit murder then they should be sentenced as a adult.
1.17 I don't think teens should be tried as adults because all teens make mistakes. I could see if a teen killed a person. They should be tried as adults at that point. If a teen gets caught drinking at a party they shouldn't be tried as adults though. I say you have to be at least five teen to be tried as a adult. My opinion most wouldn't change because my families usually never in trouble with the law. I would say "it's your fault for doing the crime." If your a juvenile you should be kept in a juvenile facility for three-five years. If your over eight teen you should be kept in jail for life. In conclusion teenagers make mistakes so you should never keep them in a juvenile facility.
1-12: Kids that commit adult crimes they should not be tried as an adult. The only reason I say that is because the only age that should get tried is at the age 18 because whats the point of kids under the age of 18 should not get tried. If I lived around some one who was a juvenile criminal I would just hate it because it would make me part of what ever the juvenile did.The crimes that should be warrant adult sentences which should be like if they murder some one and for being a person that wants to hurt other people to.The minimum age that Kids should be tried at is the age 18 because what if a kid is say 6 years old and kills his/her mom and they didn't know what they where doing at all.I think that the juveniles should get on house arrest and stay away from other people for awhile.
1.22 In my mind i do not think that children and teens should not be convicted and sentenced as adults. I think this because most kids or teens who commit these crimes arn't even mature and dont know what there doing. NO crimes should warrent adult like sentences. 18 should be the minimum age to be tried as an adult. I would feel the same and would hope that someone close to me was not tried as an adult. I would be mad if someone i knew was a victom to an underage crime. Juveniles that commit adult like crimes should go to jail untl they turn 18 then should be released.
26# I think that it depends on how bad the crime was. Sure we all have our own punishments for things but if the crime was not that bad than i think you should still get punished but not as bad as going to a juvinial place. I think that if you killed three girls you need help. Reach out to people that can help you. I also do think yes that person should go to jail think about all the people that he has hurt? Do they deseve that? I think not. I think that he should relive all the sadness and pain that the families went through when they lost their three daughters in the book. Eric is my example of this. Mabey there are teens out there that have hurt people just as well, they should be punished. In all in all i think that if the crime was really bad and you hurt others you should be put into jail and suffer like evreyone else that the teen hurt. If you are commited of doing something not that bad let the parents deal with it! That's what i think of this topic.
1.#21 I think that teens could be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced as adults depending on what the crime is. If they think they should be able to do adult like crimes then they can be punished like adults also, its a part of growing up. I definitely don't think that some one that's like ten years should be treated like adults, but there will be a age that people think is reasonable to treat that way. My opinion wouldn't really be different if someone I knew was tried as an adult because they were stupid enough to do the crime. In conclusion I think that juveniles should just be punished. Time in jail, community service, but nothing drastic because their crime might of been big but they're still just young kids.
1.20- I do think teens should be tried as adults, because teens are not adults until they are 18 but they should get in trouble for what they did they should not just get off the hook. i think that they should be tried as adults because if they commit the crime they were clearly thinking about what they were doing so if they want to act like adults and commit crimes they should be tried as adults. If they were accused of the crime then they shouldn't be tried as an adults because they didn't do it. In conclusion I think that if teens make the choice to commit a serious crime then they need to be tried as adults, unless they have mental or physical problems.
1.18 I think that murder is a crime children should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like an adult; other then that children should have different law then adults. Kids are young and lots of people take adults say over a kids and that's not right. the minimum age for being tried as an adult should be 18. My opinion wouldn't change at all. If they are innocent they should be freed and if they are guilty then they should do there time for doing the crime. I would say if a teenager murdered some one it depends how drastic it was. All and all, you shouldn't murder some one unless it's self defense, and if you're found guilty your going to have to pay the prise.
I disagree with #3 as wel you know that murder is not okay in way shape or foarm! Imagine if that was your sister or brother who got murdered would you want that person to go to jail? Think about that.
1.5 I think if its murder kids from 13 could be tried if its 3rd degree. Some kids should not like assault. I think rap should be at like 10 or 11 years old.
1.08 I think that teens should be tried as adults if it is an adult like crime. If it is a crime that an adult would commit they should be treated like an adult. If it is a murder or kidnapping it should be an adult crime. I don't think there should be an age limit, if they commit a serious crime they should be tried as an adult no matter what their age. If the person was close to me I would be upset but I would still want them to be tried as an adult. They should go to an adult prison.
1.6 Teens and children should not be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes. Because there only children and there still growning I mean maybe they dont know what there doing or there is something is wrong with there brain and cant think right but they should be punished like there children because they are children. I think the minimum should be at least 20 to 21 because there just now learning how the world works. My opinion wouldnt change because I had a a family member in jail for something he didnt do and he was only 15. So my opinion stays the same. If they commited a crime to someone close to me and they were a juvenile i would b pretty heated but i would also think there crazy. I personaly think they should b sent to the crazy house cuz they are crazy. Thats whats what i think about the subject " should teens and children be prosecuted, convicted,and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes."
1.11 Teen should be sentences for adult like crimes, but not a child. Cause teens get reckless more and more everyday but children are still learning. Adult like crimes teens should be prosecuted for is something like murder or attempted or maybe even stilling if it's over a $1000 and robbery. The minimum age should be 15 cause that's an age were you know better.

to #1 from 22
But children dont know anybetter and dont know what will happen to them if they commit these crimes, but adults do
1.7
#12 Agree with you because, if they are tried as adults then they could be in jail forever.
to #29
what if the kids dont know any better? then you will never know if they are seriel killers
Number seven i agree with you completley it just depends on the crime commited. 1.27
I disagree with #3 as wel you know that murder is not okay in way shape or foarm! Imagine if that was your sister or brother who got murdered would you want that person to go to jail? Think about that.
1.9 to 3 I agree with you 18 is the age when teens are more responcable
1.5 I think if its murder kids from 13 could be tried if its 3rd degree. Some kids should not like assault. I think rap should be at like 10 or 11 years old.
1.08 I think that teens should be tried as adults if it is an adult like crime. If it is a crime that an adult would commit they should be treated like an adult.

If the person was close to me I would be upset but I would still want them to be tried as an adult. They should go to an adult prison.
to #18 from 7
I disagree with you because if your underage you sometimes you don't know what your doing!
1.6
Teens and children should not be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes. Because there only children and there still growning I mean maybe they dont know what there doing or there is something is wrong with there brain and cant think right but they should be punished like there children because they are children. I think the minimum should be at least 20 to 21 because there just now learning how the world works. My opinion wouldnt change because I had a a family member in jail for something he didnt do and he was only 15. So my opinion stays the same. If they commited a crime to someone close to me and they were a juvenile i would b pretty heated but i would also think there crazy. I personaly think they should b sent to the crazy house cuz they are crazy. Thats whats what i think about the subject " should teens and children be prosecuted, convicted,and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes."
1.11
Teen should be sentences for adult like crimes, but not a child. Cause teens get reckless more and more everyday but children are still learning. Adult like crimes teens should be prosecuted for is something like murder or attempted or maybe even stilling if it's over a $1000 and robbery. The minimum age should be 15 cause that's an age were you know better.
1. 8 I disagree with 5 because i think it doesn't matter their age if its a serious crime.
1. 8 I disagree with 11 because the child shopuld also be tried.
