Opinions
Mical:
When most individuals commit crimes, they do it because they suffer a lack of self respect and self acceptance, which ultimately come down to a lack of self-empowerment. This goes especially for youth offenders. As a youth I understand that self-esteem is not something we're born with but something we grow up realizing we can have for our selves.

DeMarcus:
When youth are portrayed in the media, the statistics on youth violence are exaggerated. The media puts it out as though youth are at the core of America's violence, when really adults commit three times as many crimes. If the real statistics about youth were widely known, then maybe the portrayal of youth in the media wouldn't be so violent, and maybe these stupid laws that are made to "supposedly" lower the rate of youth crime wouldn't even be considered by voters.
