My opinion:

I honestly think that teenagers should be charged the same as adults. I think this, based on how teens are today compared to back then. Nowadays teens are "used to" or "know" what gang life is and think things like going to jail is a joke or makes them tough. I believe an important factor in determining a juvenile offenders punishment should be whether or not they had a motive towards their action.
