Old enough to drive a car and handle weapons...old enough to be accountable for ending someone else's life.

Stop making excuses for teens making poor choices because their frontal lobes aren’t fully developed. Lots of teens go through difficult situations and don’t commit murder. Charge him as an adult

Can people please start teaching their sons how to handle rejection? Maybe also stop giving them guns instead of education and support. This is getting out of hand.
