While some believe teenagers should face the same punishment as adults for crimes, the document argues that in most cases teenagers should receive lesser punishment than adults because they have more time to learn from mistakes and have not fully matured. For teenage offenders, the best punishment is one that teaches them a lesson to prevent reoffending, though in cases of major violent crimes teenagers should face strict punishment equal to adults.

However, there are many who take the opposite view.
In my opinion in most of the situations of
doing crimes, teenagers should not have the same punishment as the adults. Because they have more time to learn from their mistakes and they have not grown up yet. For teenage offenders who are criminals the best punishment is to have a lesson to not do their mistakes again. Although I believe that in several circumstances for instance, doing huge crimes such as stabbing or murdering people, teenagers must have an strict punishment same as the adults
