This answers the question because it gives a better understanding on to why teens act a certain way meaning they are still getting use to learning the new things of life. ]]> 2020-01-23 16:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189276 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189313 "Teens take more risks not because  they don't understand the dangers but because they weigh risk versus reward differently." (Paragraph 32)

This quote helps answer the question, because as teenagers, we tend to be curious of what certain situation's  outcome would be like. We're driven with urges and sometimes the adrenaline makes it harder to stop. Risk taking also comes with reward; the feeling of succeeding can be a boost one's  self.]]> 2020-01-23 16:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189313 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189356 "Also peaking during adolescence is risk taking.. where the period from roughly 15 to 25 brings peaks in all sorts of risky ventures and ugly outcomes." (Paragraph #29)

During this period of our lives we take the most risks because we are on the hunt for new sensations and experiences. They tend to overlook the consequences of what they are doing.]]> 2020-01-23 16:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189356 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189419 "Along with lacking experience generally, they're still learning to use their brain's new networks" (para. 19).

This is primarily our "teen years", even if it's after you're considered a legal adult. So people's perspectives are still changing/developing through these important years. That could lead to them still having poor judgement hence committing the crime that they do.

This answers the question because it shows that the brain is developing and growing as we grow up and its not fully developed until the mid 20's]]> 2020-01-23 16:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189687 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189899 "Our brains, it  turned out, take much longer to develop  than we had thought" (para 11).

This contributes to my view about how juveniles should be dealt  because it shows that how eve the oldest person's brain is still growing and that an adolescent should go through a least some type of rehab so that they would snap back into the reality. ]]> 2020-01-23 16:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435189899 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435190036 Quote: " And, like adults, says Steinberg, "teen actually overestimate risk".

This helps answer the question because since they weigh the risks and the rewards they get differently they might weigh the reward high than the risk so they eventually commit a serious crime.]]> 2020-01-23 16:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435190132 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435190141 "the young are heated by Nature as drunken men by wine...-  there were no age between ten and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out of the rest; for there is nothing between but getting wenches with child, wronging ancientry, stealing, fighting."  (para. 10)
 This answers the question because it all dates back to history and how youth and adults were different.There is obviously still a difference. We don't know what we're doing half the time, breaking hearts, drugs, school. We don't know how it'll affect us in the future, but we do it anyways cause we're dumb, undeveloped humans. ]]> 2020-01-23 16:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435190141 leilani12349 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435191385 "In situations where risk can get something they want, they value the reward more heavily than adults do." (para.32)
This answers the question because teens don't know the consequences of their actions and all they see is the reward. We should take that into consideration when deciding their sentence.]]> 2020-01-23 16:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435191385 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435192721 " In fact, by the age of 15 they can score as well as adults if they are motivated, resisting temptation about 70 to 80 percent of the time."
(para. 17)
Motivation is lackluster among most teens. Teens need a desire, a motive to pursue in order for them to move and get things done. In order for teens to move, they need a reward. In cases of serious crimes, money may be the issue.

This contributes to my view on how juveniles should be dealt with in the justice system because it is saying that the developmental process isn't completed till mid 20s and during our time in development we are adapting to many things. So if a minor individual gets sent to adult prison he will adapt to the surrounds and will not help him improve his mental health. This is a critical period in our lifetime because we are getting to know who we are and we are adjusting to society.]]> 2020-01-23 16:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435192864 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435193010 " when this development proceeds normally, we get better at balancing impulse...more sensible..But at times especially at first, the brain does this work clumsily, its hard to get those cogs to mesh,"(para 15).

This gives perspective into what juveniles go through, and how more than we think can be happening on the inside of a teen rather than the action they did. ]]> 2020-01-23 16:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435193010 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435194962 "They act that way because their brains aren't done!" (Para. 20) 

This quote contributes to my view because from our teen years and to our adult years, things change because our brains are still a major work in progress, which in turn, shows the increasingly likelihood we might not do things so well at this age yet because of our brains somewhat still immaturity.]]> 2020-01-23 16:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435194962 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435195393 "{Teens are} still learning to use their brain's new networks . Stress, fatigue, or challenges can cause a misfire" (Dobbs 19).

I think that this perfectly sums up my view about how juveniles who commit serious crimes. It's saying that teenagers haven't fully mastered the use of their brains. Any obstacle can cause a teenagers to act out. So how is it that we can try a juvenile as an adult when comparatively, juveniles don't have the same mastery of their brain that adults do? I definitely think that this quote answers the one component that the judicial system seems to miss, teenagers are not adults and treating them as such is cruel.]]> 2020-01-23 16:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435195393 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435195458 "Teens take more risk not because they don't understand the dangers but because they they weigh risk versus reward differently; in situations where risk can get them something they want, hey value the reward more heavily than adults do."

(Para 20). 
This answers the question because, since teens brains aren't fully developed, they sometimes don't know what they are doing. They might still act like little kids because they don't know that they could have bigger consequences. ]]> 2020-01-23 16:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435197100 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435197197 "This age group dies of accidents of almost every sort(other than work accidents) at high rate. Most long-term drug or alcohol abuse starts during adolescence, and even people who later drink responsibly often drink too much as teens." (Para 29)

I think this shows that alcohol and drug abuse will lead to many things such as driving under the influence. When you are under influence, you most likely wouldn't know what you are doing and would take risk and do things such as driving. I believe that these teens should have a chance to go through rehabilitation if they are caught using before going to jail.]]> 2020-01-23 16:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435197197 1542100 https://padlet.com/lee_joan/39vuajrvhfbp/wish/435197386 "Our brains undergo a massive reorganization between our 12th and 25th years."  (paragraph 12)

Because our brains are not fully developed and we think differently from adults, we are likely to do some punching.  We can learn a lot at our age, so when we make some stupid decisions, we must learn something from our mistakes

What Dobbs is trying to say, is that teens don’t think straight until we are 25. Teens tend to do “questionable” things that adults might see as crazy but why do we do them? It’s because teens tend not to see the future and live things in the present.
