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

with

Suggestion

in

my own opinion together will be

further

discussed and elaborated in

this

essay.

Firstly

, the cognitive development of adolescents is not mature enough to think the potential risks and consequences behind the illicit activity.

For example

, it is common to see that youngster insulting someone with curse words or racism, discrimination on the social networks because they consider

this

will not cause any physical damages to an individual.

However

, they might not recognize that they have already violated the laws, and those victims are traumatized severely by the

cyberbullying

, some even committed the suicide.

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

this

stage which means they are easily to be misled by others.

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.

Besides

that, they may be forced to make a criminality in order to be accepted by their friends

such

as using narcotics or robbing a store.

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.

As a result

, it is crystal clear to me that adolescents should not be punished as adults when they are breaching the laws.
