no, they shouldn't. they are NOT adults...they are children.

the brain isn't fully developed at age fifteen.

knowing right from wrong isn't the same as having full impulse control. it's proven that the brain structure of a teen isn't the same as that of an adult, and the areas of the brain that haven't fully grown deal with self-control.

well I think that first we need to figure out how old 15 really is...if a 15 y.o. kills and is tried as an adult fine but then why r teenagers getting sent to jail for consensual sex with a 15 y.o. r they not adults then?
