Argumentative Essay About Rebellious Teen

When a young person breaks the law in Canada, they are dealt with differently than adults, for they lack the level of maturity and development. The federal law that governs Canada’s youth justice system is Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The act was created in 2003 with a purpose to hold youth (12-17) accountable through sanctions that contribute to the protection of the public. The basic principles of this act are crime prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration, protection of the public and youth, meaningful consequences, and accountability. Hence, it is fair and equitable, as well as effective for youth to a great extent, with preventing crime while ensuring the accountability of a young offender. The data from Statistics Canada show that youth crime has decreased 42% since 2000. This essay focuses on how the justice system effectively ensures the protection of society, the innocent, and ensures that those who break the law, face appropriate consequences.

Did you know, that in the United States alone, Over 200,000 children are charged and imprisoned every year as adults? Early in the 20th century, most states established juvenile courts to rehabilitate and not just punish youthful offenders. The system was designed for children to have a second chance at their lives. “A separate juvenile-justice system, which sought to rehabilitate and not just punish children, was part of a movement by progressives to create a legally defined adolescence through the passage of child-labor and compulsory education laws and the creation of parks and open spaces.”(How to reduce crime Pg 1) Although the view on juveniles committing brutal crimes is nearly inconceivable, it is not a solution to give juveniles adult consequences because the effects of the adult system on juveniles are not effective.

Many people dream of going to a well-known Public Four-Year College when they think about their future. But, for some, Community College is the only option. “ The Benefits Access for College Completion (BACC) initiative was a multi-year initiative designed to provide community college students with access to a full range of public benefits in order to reduce financial barriers to college completion.” (Duke-Benfield) This initiative took effect for people who attend college and have families to attend to at home.

Tuition costs in the United States have increased significantly causing many families to opt out from attending prestigious four-year universities. According to Flynn, “Today’s college graduate leaves campus with around $35,000 in student loan debt, and when you include interest payments, they’ll end up paying $42,385 over the life of the loan” (Flynn). In an effort to reduce the debts among individuals, students should consider attending a Community College as their educational experience prior to enrolling at a four-year university or as their career pathway.

Claudia, my prayers goes out to your son for having to face something such as an accident rather than intentional murder when there are juveniles in this world committing murders intentionally. I have worked in an adult correctional facility before, and I have witnessed the transfer of juveniles to the criminal justice system. You mention if it were not for your son's street smarts he problem would not have known how to survive in the adult facility. This is so true, I have also witnessed young children in the adult facility afraid to go to sleep out of fear that an adult may harm them while sleeping. The Court has recognized that juveniles lack maturity in judgment, have an underdeveloped sense of responsibility, are vulnerable to adverse

Another great choice for those returning to school are vocational schools, sometimes referred to as trade schools, which offer training in specific skills. These skills can be added to a degree that has already been obtained or used by themselves. They are often times a good choice for those who do not wish to work an office or wish to further their abilities at a manual labor job. Vocational schools offer training in many different areas such as auto mechanic, or one can be trained in the technical field to become IT support personnel. These schools are not only geared toward those who wish to perfect their talents and find a job they will love, but those students who are gifted in a certain trade and would do better in life if they were able

Middle school was a rough time like it was for many because I still did not even know who I was yet. MIddle school was very difficult to adjust to at first because all my life I had only been in one class all day everyday with the same teacher and they made sure you always had a note to remind you of your homework for the night. Middle school was when I began to make my own choices and had to suffer the consequences that came with those choices. In middle school is when I found out how much I liked business because of a field trip my 6th grade year to Biztown which was a small fake “community” that everyone worked in and would be a citizen in the town.

You enter the large set of double doors leading into the main hallway of yet another new school. Your mind drifts to your old school as you observe your own reflection in the glass insets of the entry doors inviting you into a new world. A world you’d rather not be a part of, not now. This is not a new experience. It’s one that keeps repeating itself over and over. Larson Junior High will make the second school you’ve attended in the short time of being a ninth grader, and a total of eight schools since beginning the first grade.

Juvenile delinquents committing criminal offenses are nothing new to the criminal justice system, but the question on how they should be sentenced has never been agreed upon. The general consensus on the legal quagmire the issue presents has historically been one of hostility and unmerciful to the age of the accused with sentences varying from decades behind bars to the “supreme measure” of state sponsored death. However, recently public and legal opinion has turned in favor of a more lenient approach for children who commit heinous acts, and such reform is needed desperately. Criminals under the age of adulthood should be tried as juveniles and not under the adult courts. As to the functionality of such a system in which age is a factor in criminal cases has yet to be further developed.

Hey, do you ever look around your neighborhood and wonder why you see so many Teenagers are on the streets in Gangs, selling drugs, and going to jail? There are many reasons why these teenagers are on the streets and not in school. Maybe it because Many people don’t see teenager’s as young children no they see them as Adults.

Have you ever seen or experienced bullying and the dramatic effects it has on its victims? Unfortunately nine out of every ten students have experienced bullying in school or online.
