First, what is a juvenile, and secondly, no. If teenagers insist they are right all the time, let them take responsibility for their actions.

when did the teenager insist they were right? no one is saying they shouldn't take responsibility for their action, because nobody is saying we should let them free with no consequence. they're saying that being sentenced to your entire life without parole in prison for something you did as a very young person (something that doesn't even have to have harmed or killed anyone) isn't a punishment that fits the crime.

Teenagers always insist they are right.

Do you feel kidnapping deserves a life punishment without parole?
