JUVENILE JUSTIFIED: A SKELETON IN A CLOSET




People say that we learn as we grow up! But is it really so???

Every parent wants their child to grow up into a ‘big man’. But that journey from ‘a child’ to ’ a big man’ is really adventurous... Call it ‘adolescent’ or’ young’ or ’teen’- the words itself express the sensitivity.
Accurately defining them, it can be said that teen age is the age when a person thinks he is mature enough to take his own decisions but many times his deeds make him eat his words!!!

The latest incidents in our society perfectly justify this thing. A new term that is coined or we can say the term we recently came across – ‘JUVENILE CRIMINALS’, the teens committing heinous crime -this has become a burning issue these days.
Not just an issue but it is a matter to seriously cogitate… What’s exactly the reason that makes a teen commit such brutal crimes & that too so ruthlessly...?  Is it the liberal environment that they are provided? Or is it the motivation they get from the liberal laws? What exactly makes a young mind ruin someone's life? Why their brains make them call 'brats'??? Is it really so that aggression comes naturally with adolescence??
These questions might make you scratch your head!!!

But the most dilemmatic question is whether to punish them just like the adult criminals? Well, if we consider the seriousness of the crime they’re committing; then it’s really high time to wake up! If they are capable of committing such barbaric crime, then they surely deserve a stern punishment. Practically thinking, if a 17 year 364 days old person commits a crime and is considered a juvenile; is it so that on the very next day he would become matured? Can maturity be achieved over night?

The answer to this can never be assertive... So, It’s high time to take these juveniles seriously. Candle-march or rallies aren’t enough … ‘Charity begins at home.’ & so let us make up our own mind to take the first step..  Let’s start taking life seriously.  Let’s understand that we don’t have any right to play with other’s life... We shouldn’t lose our morals & ethics to teach someone a lesson!

 Whatever generation we belong to; if we feel we have guts to display our ‘so called aggression’; then the rule is

“AN EYE FOR AN EYE &
A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH !!!”
