So in my English class our teacher asked us if we thought kids who commit serious crimes should receive the same punishment as adults, of course all my class mates gave simple answers like, "No, they is kids" or, "Yes, crime bad." I'm not quite sure how I feel about it, so i figured I'd ask you guys how you feel about it.

They need to be punished, but only in the sense of imprisonment and long probation during adulthood. The thing is that their brain will change a LOT, so therapy and guidance will essentially make them into a different person. I think there are a few child murderers out there who are now mundane and functional members of society.
