In some countries, the number of crimes committed by teenagers is growing. Some people think that regardless of age, teenagers who commit major crimes should receive adult punishment. To what extend do you agree?
As the rate of teenage offences has been increasing in many nations. Some people suggest that minor criminals should be sentenced at the same as adults. From my perspective, I completely disapprove with
this
statement for several reasons. The idea Linking Words

my own opinion together will be Suggestion

discussed and elaborated in Linking Words

Firstly
, the cognitive development of adolescents is not mature enough to think the potential risks and consequences behind the illicit activity. Linking Words
For example
, it is common to see that youngster insulting someone with curse words or racism, discrimination on the social networks because they consider Linking Words
this
will not cause any physical damages to an individual. Linking Words
However
, they might not recognize that they have already violated the laws, and those victims are traumatized severely by the Linking Words
cyberbullying
, some even committed the suicide. Suggestion
Consequently
, many adolescents committed the sins under the lack of right judgement and the knowledge associated with the legislation.

Moreover
, their psychosocial maturity is not fully developed at Linking Words
this
stage which means they are easily to be misled by others. Linking Words
For instance
, many juveniles are recruited as a gang member when they see their fellows are enjoying of the finance and the power from the gangsters. Linking Words
Besides
that, they may be forced to make a criminality in order to be accepted by their friends Linking Words
such
as using narcotics or robbing a store. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is arduous for minors to refuse the temptations, or not to be affected by the peers.
In conclusion, the immaturity and the identity crisis of the juveniles has always been the main factor of teenager illegality. People and the government should guide them to walk on the right path of the life as well as giving them an opportunity to restart. Linking Words
As a result
, it is crystal clear to me that adolescents should not be punished as adults when they are breaching the laws.Linking Words
