Should teenagers accused of violent crimes be tried and sentenced as adults? Why or why not?

That is my prompt and i have to write a 6-8 paragraph and i have yet to start. I have a huge case of writers block. I have no idea how to start or how i can possibly write so much about this. HELP PLEASEE!!!!Should teenagers accused of violent crimes be tried and sentenced as adults? Why or why not?
Really depends on the crime. If they are accused of stabbing someone in the face or wiping out a family with a shotgun, then yes. If they got into a fight at the local arcade then no.Should teenagers accused of violent crimes be tried and sentenced as adults? Why or why not?
At ages 13-16 I don't think they should be tried as adults. After that age, it should be based on the individual case. My main reason is that teenagers are growing so quickly and hormones are influential, peer pressure, lack of self-esteem all could factor into the 'whys' of a crime. That isn't to say that they shouldn't suffer any punishment, I simply believe that each case is different. Why is there a voting age of 18? Why is drinking age regulated? Why do you need permission to marry under 18 in most states? Because the people are considered children, they think and act as children. No, they shouldn't then be tried as adults, which they aren't
That mole thinks i should go to jail my bro killed some1 and hes in jail and if some1 young killed my bro i wouldnt want that person to go to jail there is no point throwing away 2 lives
