I was full blown dumpster fire bad.

    Now that I am almost 10 years older than I was then, I'm able to look back on my actions and realize how incredibly selfish and horrific I was to the people I love. I have matured enough, learned enough and grew enough as a person to know that doing what I did was wrong and that I could never ever do that again because it makes me sick to think about.

    There's a massive difference between doing something stupid as a teen and doing something stupid as an adult. I'm sorry but no matter what was you try to spin it, you can't compare minors to adults mentally. You can't psychologically and you can't medically. Saying they should know better is all well and good, but someone can't know better until they or someone around them makes the mistake first. That's how you learn.
    That is the thing as you said you did not care how your actions impacted others, adults also do not care about how the actions impact others age is not really the only factor here. Sure mistakes are how we learn, but I am sorry if your mistake ends up running the life of someone else I do not care how sorry or how ignorant you are were. You should face a harsh punishment for said action. Somethings simply should not be waved away because of I am a child tho, I did not know tho, I did not understand how my actions would impact others tho, I did not care tho. Those are horrible excuses.

    Certain actions we can move past and let them learn, but others DUI's, false allegations, murder etc . . . I do not care if you are a child you done messed up and you should pay a fitting price cause the person that life was negatively impacted by your actions may not get a second chance. I am sorry I do not get why should the child or teenager in question get the benefit of the doubt cause they do not have the social experience or social intellenge to the average adult to make proper choice and understand the lasting impact it will have on others.

    Yet adults that also do not have the same understanding when it comes to social queues or understanding are still treated as if they should know better? Many factors can impact development not just age, so why is age the only factor that seems to matter to so many? Do not get me wrong I do not think either one is an excuse, but if we are going to draw a line I wish people would be more consistent with their view. I get the child protection aspect musters up a strong emotional response people generally want to protect and persevere children giving them room to grow and learn which is fine. Though actions should be inexcusable and pretending to be an adult then spinning it in your favor to get the adults in trouble cause they should have know is honestly silly. We should not protect people like that.

    I will agree In certain situations doing something dumb as a kid differs from an adult. Though if that dumb action leads to lasting negative impact on the life on another I am sorry if you are a child you should not get lighter punishment or general understanding because of your age. I know many will not agree with it, but sometimes the action itself should overshadow the age.

    Also I have issue with kids will be kids statement that some people have, cause I was made fun of due to my mannerisms and speech patterns due to degree of ASD. Always got the same excuse kids will be kids, suck it up you will grow out of it. Kids can be just as ruthless and cold as adults, yet because they are kids it kinda gets a pass. I am sorry it hurts either way no matter the age. Sometimes I want to drop kick a kid because they laugh at my tick in the store or stare at me just like others use to do when I was a their age. I do not cause I am older, and even when you kindly ask their parents if they could educate their children they look at you like you are the creep. This is a deep personal issue for me cause I think people should be held accountable for their actions no matter the age. Since I do think this aspect of protecting such behavior cares over to when the children become adults, then have children of their own. They use the same logic I was like that as a kid I grew up and understood how my actions were wrong years later. Thing is a person you may be able to go home forget about it and come to terms with it years later. The pain for the person in questions sometimes never goes away cause they are reminded of it daily.
