As an example of the irrational thinking of teenagers, one of those students is boycotting school, won't go until they get their way and the gun is banned. Others may be impressed but I'm not one of them. People, young and old, are advised to refrain from making decisions emotionally. 


One young person takes a stand you disagree with and you use that as a measure for all young people?  I’d say that lacks logic.

Re: Sentencing for the slender man case

I merely gave an example of a teenager's short sighted, emotional, and illogical thinking/decision making. Certainly not all teenagers but most. How many college students participate in humiliating, dangerous, behavior just to join a fraternity/sorority even to dying or not calling resulting in the death of a pledge?

I could give you an overwhelming number of short sighted, emotional and illogical decision making by adults but it would take this line down.
