"Slander and Libel isn't a childish mistake."It is when you are a child. Do you plan on giving kids all the rights I mentioned? The right to drink? The right to smoke? The right to vote? The right to have sex with adults? You also ignored THAT part of my post too. Interesting."As for the fully comprehending the consequences,because of
age-- personally, i don't buy it. Its making an excuse for these kids.
Thats like saying Klebold and Harris weren't aware of what they did in
colorado in 1999."Did you not bother to read where I said that they DO deserve to be punished? I very much think they should be PUNISHED. Did you skip that part of my post, or just decide to ignore it.
And you can "not buy" the science behind the human brain all you want. Doesn't make it not true. There are lots of people in this country who reject science because it doesn't fit into their narrow world view. Doesn't make them right...makes them ignorant. (Literal sense, not name calling.)
These are two boys who did a mean thing, they don't deserve their lives to be wrecked over it. That doesn't do ANYONE any good AT ALL.

I am serious I knew the laws in High school, I was in Civics my freshman year, advanced civics sophomore year, Problems of democracy (Laws and Politics)class my senior year. It's call paying attention in class. Plus 2 years of JuCo.

I didn't ignore the post. Your idea of punishment and my idea is two seperate things. I believe since this was off school grounds. There own time, parents computer in the privacy of there homes they perpetrated this horrendous act. Therefore the school isn't at all liable in punishment. It's should be decided by the courts.

ok, at 16/17 most kids, not all are smoking,drinking,being sexually active. There is why we have laws due to health, Sadly most ignore warnings and laws. In some states they are thinking of lowering the voting age at 16 to encourage young voters.

Next time I go to colorado(which is soon to see family), I'll mention that study to the victims of Columbine that Klebold and Harris didn't mean to shoot up the school. There brains weren't developed.
Kids across the country are playing pranks and harassing teachers. Tericka, a high school science teacher who loved her job, lived in fear of her scandalous past catching up with her and getting her fired. Students eventually found out about her shocking past and the news spread throughout town like wildfire. Are other teachers taking her side, or do they feel her punishment was justified? How can she move forward? Then, Anna, an assistant principal, was harassed on the Internet when two students created a fake MySpace page alleging to be her. She says they completely attacked her character and need to be held accountable for their actions. Was this just a practical joke gone bad, or were these students out for revenge? Find out what Anna did to show these kids that some jokes just aren't funny. Could the mischief your kids get into end up costing you thousands of dollars? Talk about the show here.
