Should you be punished for the rest of your life for a mistake you made as a kid? These days‚ juveniles are being punished with the same standards as adults are punished‚ and when that happens‚ they don’t have chance to live their lives properly. The mandatory sentence for 1st degree murder is 25 years to life‚ and 2nd degree murder‚ 15 years to life. That’s already enough time to change the juvenile’s life forever.

If someone was assigned to compile a video of clips that would make me cringe‚ they would come up with something similar to The Purity Myth. The clips used were reminders of the oppressive‚ heteronormative‚ misogynistic system that I grew up in.
