What's your opinion of sharking?

To see why, just imagine: what would we call it if an adult forcibly stripped a woman in a public place? We'd call it sexual assault. Now, when a teenager steals something, we call it theft. When a teenager attacks someone, we call it assault. When a teenager kills someone, we call it murder. All of those things a teenager can be charged for. Why is it different when a teenager commits what we would call indecent assault if an adult did it?

Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.

Don't say that, I understand the sentiment, but it's too close to victim blaming.

Part of being young is making mistakes. Nikki Reed I am more tolerable to teens than to adults. I think every teenager goes through their anger. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' I never made a mistake, I never committed a prank, makes me wonder how that is possible.

Somehow, they're supposed to know theft is wrong, and killing is wrong, and violence is wrong, but we're just supposed to give them a pass on a sex crime? This is part of the problem, this is exactly the reason why young people think it's okay to do this kind of thing, because nobody teaches them that it's wrong, and people consistently downplay the seriousness of it. But if you think that a teenager isn't going to take it to heart when they forcibly strip a woman on the street and the authority figures treat it as no big deal, if you think that's not going to be a lesson for them that intensifies, then you are crazy. Like you say, teens are still learning, so what do you think it teaches them about women and sexual consent if the example you lead by is "you can get away with inappropriately touching women so long as you frame your violation of them in terms of a fun prank." ?

To try to help them, and guide them(and I don't mean by treats or law enforcing).

Dude knowing this is wrong is part of the fun. I have breaker some laws(and I'm not only talking about my teenage years) and it makes me feel more alive. Besides why when I say be more tolerable did you think I say let's overpass the crime at all?

However I don't see this subject as a mater of craziness I'm very proud of my morals right now while we are talking about this topic.

I'm gonna put it in simple words so please spare me the future misunderstanding please: I am more tolerable to teens pranks and mistakes than to adults. I support trying to help a teen criminal. Am I the only one in this forum who made pranks and mistakes in his youth and enjoyed them, regret them and therefor learn to show more empathy to teenagers since I know from personal experience how confusing, exiting and those years were? If it is then be it. Make no mistake people just because I want to hear your opinion in this case that doesn't mean I'm asking you for your approval about my moral judgment towards teenagers. Nor that I care if you disagree with me. (October 15, 2014 at 1:45 am)Alex K Wrote:(October 15, 2014 at 1:14 am)Lemonvariable72 Wrote: Yeah assault.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

I just watched a video of this and.one thing that struck me is how the cowards only target women on their own. If they tried doing it to my girlfriend or daughter, or even if i just saw someone doing it, I'd happily kick their teeth in.
