“This basic misguided survival instinct coupled with most teens seeing the world around them through the narrow lens of their own limited experience makes it harder for them to be compassionate. In essence, teenagers are like little psychopaths. Running around, making bad decisions, without a thought of how those decisions will affect themselves or others. Knowing this about the brain brings up interesting dilemmas when it comes to teens being tried as adults in courts of law.” — Sascha Rothchild
