Answer 1

No, adults over the age of 19-20 should somewhat know right and wrong. In fact they should know. Teenagers up until the age of 19 are still learning. They are adapting to the adult life. Many of these teenagers are still living under their parents wings and learning for themselves right and wrong. Now if we are talking a capital punishment crime, and if they are over the age of 17 then yes. They should be. Any crime that can amount to a capital crime is something people are taught (hopefully) at a young age that it is wrong. Using logic anyone under the age of 17 is still a child and should be treated as so.

Answer 2

Answer:

Unless the teenagers do something really bad like so bad that they have to be in prison for 30-35 years then yeah they shouldn't be punished like adults do
