Summary: Insulting, overlooking, and Incorrect
Review: This generation of kid's are the most controlled and watched ever. To say that teen rights extend to the point where a two medicalized teens can get guns, is insulting to society...for if an adult commits a crime by using a gun that way, it should be a crime for anyone else. It doesn't make sense to say that teen rights (which should teach them about the constitution and the right the live without prejudice and constraint without lawful reason), is harming because it let's them get guns and kill each other? The articles seen today either state teens and children as perfect little conformists, or violent drug addicts, who enjoy passing time by killing each other. That time, when hormones are surging, and when they are not, is when people look for who they really are. To better make choices about themselves. Think I'm just raising a bunch of hooligans? Think again. I'm 14-years old...and I think however well intended her research summery was, she is wrong about this generation.In the schools I've attended and seen, the popular folks...well they aren't the sex, drug, and weird rituatlistic initianting sort you see on T.V. They get good grades, they are nasty when judging, but they aren't the sort you can really blame...they are mostlly preppies that think a lot of themselves. They are also in the minority. Though, like in the 'real' world, there are some that do consume a lot and revolve the world around themselves. There are many others who are artists, musicians, writers, school oriented, and have passions. According to a Arizona's former Attorney General...1 percent of teens are in trouble. The other 99% of us who are trying to live lives in which benenfit society demand...no, expect to not be called degrading names and being insulted and spied on, when we walk down the street, because; 'after all, that book said that we shouldn't treat kids like adults, and adults can walk down the street without being stopped because of their age'. No, you don't have to treat kids like 'adults' because we're not, we're newer than that. But treat us...like people, people who deserve to be helped, but not forced, and directed, but not ridiculed without reason. In short: Don't read this book, seek to understand kids of your own before following the advice of some woman who obviously doesn't know kids at all...except maybe the Columbine shooters.
