    organized similar to criminal court but with a few different terms. One of the main differences is that a juvenile is being tried for a delinquent act, not a crime – unless the delinquent act was very serious, than the juvenile can be tried for a crime in adult court. This is not an option for adults in criminal court, they can’t be “downgraded” to a delinquent act because the crime may not be very serious.

I cannot argue that they are morally good because I cannot tell you about all of their actions, the intentions of their actions, or really what their action was.

    because it shows how love can affect so many people when it really is just a feeling you get. It shows why Romeo and Juliet are not to blame for their deaths. Shakespeare wrote this to show what love and hate mixed together end in. Tragedy. Romeo and Juliet were merely the victims of their parents’ problems and feud. I think that Romeo and Juliet are the last people that should be blamed for what happened. I think this because they were addicted to each other and love, they have too young of brains

    memories show us how to act and what decisions to maken based on previous situations and how we chose to act based on the consequences for that decision. The human brain often fills in missing information within somewhat forgotten memories with other information from other memories or what our brain think happened.

Some of you might be thinking, ‘We’ve heard this all before’... But I think we need to look deeper. I strongly feel that racism shouldn’t exist, and that everyone should be equal. It happens everywhere, every day, we just don’t seem to understand or be aware of it at times. Racism can occur when there
