"If you just focus on how horrible the crime was, a lot of people do not care how old the offender was," Mr. Harper said. "But the brain research begins to demonstrate that adolescents are less culpable than adults."

The quote above was states by Stephen Harper who is an assistant public defender in Miami. He has represented many facing harsh capital punishments. I got this quote from an article that was about death penalty information and how each case diverts but also is similar.

"I wanted to erase all traces of my past life and live a new life,"

The quote above was stated by a Nara Prefecture teenager at the age of 16. Sources show that the teen set his home on fire as a result of being pushed by his dad, a medical doctor, to study hard so he could be accepted into a prestigious medical school. The fire killed his stepmother and his young half-brother and half-sister. The article I got this quote from was about many different cases from all over the world dealing with teens craving to kill.

"there is a powerful, God-given resistance to killing your own kind.  Almost every species has it.  Only sociopaths lack this violence immune system."- Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman.
                   
This quote was given by a West Point military psychologist while he was giving us his input on the subject of teenage killers. The article is about television’s effect on possible teenage psychotics. It states that television can trigger the urge to act out in violence. These kids and teens become amused by the violence they witness on the television stations they watch.  Grossman confesses that he is expecting more 12 year old killers to be occurring in the nation. He thinks this because kids and teens watch television a lot and then act out due to the violence that is influenced on them. It also talks about how the murder rate doubled between 1957 and 1992 and the aggravated assault rate has multiplied many times.

  The picture above demonstrates the difference between the brain of a normal teen and the brain of a schizophrenic teen. The mind of the schizo is more round and full of damage (red) while the mind of the normal teen is less damaged and looks more developed. Clearly, there is a big difference in how the minds are developed differently due to this disorder.
