Free Writing about Teen Crimes

Teenage Crimes Most crimes that teenagers commit are murder, rape, robberies, and sexual assault. Some can be more common than others. The reason that these teens commit these crimes, can be very different from person to person. It can be because of the environment they live in, or simply just being sick in the head. It can also be because of gangs or groups that they’re in, that make them do dumb stuff to get more recognized by those groups, to get to the higher ranks. It can also be because the person is in a bad mental state. They can be going through something that's so rough, that make them do horrible acts to feel normal. The majority of teenagers that commit murder/robberies are in a poor household, and are purely doing it to survive. I think that the people that commit these crimes aren't bad people, but have an issue with the way they live, so they choose a bad route to get to the top. The way teenagers can avoid crime is to have a nice environment of good people around them, that care and have positive thoughts to say. They can also try and go to some kind of rehab, that make them talk about their issues and how to deal with them. I think that the best way to prevent teenagers from doing these types of crimes is to get them in a group of people that experience the same issues, so they can talk and they can relate to each other and maybe prevent each other from doing these horrible acts. Teenage criminals shouldn’t be punished the way they are today. I think that the way the US deals with crimes are wrong, and the imprisonment of these sentences for young teenagers should be decreased. Some teenagers that did a murder when they were 13 are serving life imprisonment to this day, some are even on death row because they did a crime while they were incarcerated. Although I think that the teenagers should get a harsh sentence, they should definitely not get life without parole or the death penalty. One of the most common teenage murders in America right now are school shootings. People that do school shootings are people in bad mental health and can't figure out what to do with life, or are insecure/nervous about the future.
