But these aren't bad kids for the most part. They are getting into a new environment, and are getting involved with rougher crowds. There's nothing funny about seeing guys waste their lives by committing these crimes.
I respect your position on this and agree that it's too bad these kids are getting into the trouble they are, but it's not like they're murdering people. Most of them aren't "wasting their lives." They're just acting like stupid kids. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be getting the guidance they need from their authority figures.
