Teens have no experience in real world situations and should not be placed in a position to judge other teens. Too much bias and room for judgment on the person, not the act. This is why we have judges. I was on one as well, and all I saw was corrupt, superiority complexed girls and a few guys convict their peers because they thought they were "so smart" and wanted to get "involved" in their community and school, etc... Youth court should be dissolved and the "officers" should get a life. I did
'Convict their peers...' It's not like we're deciding they're guilty and should go to jail. They've already admitted to guilt and we're deciding on a certain number of community service hours, what's wrong with that? And while we may not have experienced 'real-world situations,' we have certainly experienced the sort of situations that teenagers - like the ones we're judging - have experienced.
I don't know what sort of crap Youth Court you were a member of, but mine is great.
When society realizes that our youth needs an iron hand.....If you have teens in your home..always remember...If you have something in your home that you consider unhealthy for your teen....Just because they brought it home does not mean it "belongs" to them. You are the parent and what comes into your home is your responsibility.....It is your property so if it is detrimental to anyone in your home....Get rid of it...
Youth court is a hugely corrupted and horrible thing. It should not be a reality at all.

What makes you say that? I'm an officer in a Youth Court, and I think it's a great program.

If you didn't do it, why'd you admit to it? You have to admit to it to go to Youth Court.
