A child that commits a serious crime should not be tried as an adult due to a lack of brain development in adolescents. According to Laurence Steinberg‚ a psychology professor at Temple University‚ “Brain systems implicated in basic cognitive processes reach adult levels of maturity by mid-adolescence‚ whereas those that are active in self-regulation do not fully mature until late adolescence or even early adulthood.” As an individual gets older‚ so do things like their brain‚ and body.

Driving age 18 Why should the legal driving age not be eighteen? I believe that the driving age should be raised to eighteen. Some teens have no reason to be driving‚ some have a lack of experience‚ and most of them are not even mature yet. Also‚ teens get into more car accidents than anyone in a different age. First or all‚ teens have no reason to be driving‚ some have nowhere to go. When teenagers become eighteen they probably might have a job or they will probably be buying groceries or supplies

Tayrin O’Rand 14 March 2012 Should the Minimum Drinking Age be Lowered? The minimum drinking age became a hot topic ever since it was set to twenty one years old.

They can’t handle the stress of school and a young baby so they choose to dropout. So do you think the school should just sit back and do nothing?

Although‚ many schools believe there is not enough time for silent reading. “There just are not enough minutes in the day to achieve the results desired by proponents of SSR.” (Pennington). However‚ here at Powell Middle School we fitted 2o minutes of reading‚ before 6th hour‚ by taking a few minutes away from every class so each teacher has the same amount of time to teach their classes. “When children are

Some people suggest that everyone between the ages of 18 and 21 should be required to perform one year of community or government service. Such service might include the Peace Corps‚ Environmental Conservancy Corps‚ a hospital‚ the military‚ a rural or inner-city school‚ or other community outreach projects. I believe forcing the service of any group of people is a bad idea. In this case‚ three reasons come to mind as to what makes this idea bad. First‚ I see this as a form of indentured servitude

Should kids be able to dropout of school before age 18? People can’t get nearly nice enough jobs if they drop out of school because they won’t have enough knowledge to get a nice job. Someone has seen people what have dropped out and they don’t have any money and have to live of their parents and can’t get anything nice like they wanted as a kid and have to get everything from their parents and can’t have any freedom as if they lived by themselves.
