A) I think the reason that the teenages are most involved to commit crimes are because the society. (NOT CLEAR) Nowadays there are a lot of people that transgress the laws. The teenages live without limits and in most cases the absence of the family where the loss of valves is something that isn´t important por anyone.

COMMENT 5
1) It's related because it says that if you commit a crime you won't win nothing and, sooner or later, you will have to pay the crime that you committed

3) A. I think the increase in teen crime is due to misconceptions that society has today, especially teenagers. They strive increasingly to fit into society. They want to feel the adrenaline of committing an illegal act and they think they are "cool" for committing it. Drugs, alcohol and family problems and / or problems at school also influence exceedingly on the actions of these.

3) B. I think parents and the government should take serious measures in this regard.
For example, the government should punish them with community service, jail them in juvenile detention centers, and so on.
Parents should take more seriously their children(word order “their children more seriously), they must listen, educate, advise and help them.

4) Teenagers seek to feel part of something, feel that we are popular, invincible, that we can do what we want because we are minors. We don't measure the consequences, because we believe that we will get away with it.
Also, I believe the thefts are mostly due to the need to acquire things that aren't essential for us(not necessary), we just want them because we want to be trendy.
Moreover, the relationship with our parents and problems at school, in conjunction with the use of drugs, alcohol and other psychological issues, _____    lead teenagers to commit crimes, usually in an unconscious way.
Excellent Job Gisella! Your writing skills are awesome! I know I cannot grade you but this would have been a sure 10! Keep up the good work!



COMMENT 6 
 I think that_____     is because of the government _____    does not solve their problems, I mean poverty and hungry, the most of the time teens comits crimes related whit steal things, people that have more money than they or sell drugs (at the end they start using this). So we can say that this is something that happens because of the low standart of living, they are angry and jelous of other people and they want to have the same things.
We can give a lot of charity to all this families, but this is not going to solve much, we need more help from the authorities 
Well Done Guadalupe! It shows that you’ve written it all! Keep up the good work!
Your mark is a 9. (nine)


COMMENT 7
1) its related because if you commit a crime maybe you get something but anytime you can be caught or will have to pay for it.
3a) I think teens commit crimes because in some cases their parents dont take care of them or because they dont have a good education. Sometimes teens commit crimes because they use drugs,etc.
b) To help that situation i think parents should talk with teens and prove them that is not necesary_____    do that.The government must control things like alcohol and drugs to prevent more crimes and force teen criminals to do community service or allow them conditional freedom(parole).
4)Teens commit a big part of all crimes.. in my opinion it is because they have problems with their family , personal problems or because they feel that people dont provide them enough atention, so they keep to the crime like a way of distraction.Also i think some teens commit crimes just for fun.
Anyway.. i think teens that commit crimes should be punished by the law or the government. With different methods they have to learn to value other's things and how to gain their own things.
Awesome Job Matias!! I could totally see that you’ve written it all without the need of any extra help!
Keep up the good work! Your mark is a great 10! (ten)

2- Actually delinquency is a grand problem because boys and girls more Young start to steal and commit crimes, this problem normally are caused because they don’t receive a good education in their houses or because they join with bad people. _____    Problem state is that doesn’t punish the minors, detained as much one day and then released in this way_____     don’t learn.

Good Job Rocio M.! Be careful with getting sentences or ideas from somewhere else; it is considered plagiarism. The final comment is YOUR writing. Pay attention to my corrections.
Your mark is a 7.50 (seven 50/100)


COMMENT 9
1)It is related because crimes always have to be punished, with a big or little punishment that amend the crime´s punishment.
3)a)There are a lots of reasons, like traying to fit in different youth social groups, prove who is more worst breaking laws, or they do that to attract atention.
3)b)We can try to do activities to help them, just to distract and move away from that situatios.
4)Crimes in youth people are a serious problem, because we are the "future". They will not have to be criminals. So if we commit crimes, how are going to be the "future"? It is for that the youth people have to rethink, including me, about the crimes we do. There are teenagers that do these crimes because or they have problems in their homes or they are wanting to atract atention, and the result is they break the law. So, we like citizens can help the young people who have problems with crimes trying to making rethink them. Self-help centers are one of these help ways or professionals treatements.
Franco: Some sentences are not very clear and in the case of the opinion part I don’t really know if it is your opinion. Be careful with getting sentences or ideas from somewhere else; it is considered plagiarism.
Your mark is a 7. (seven)


COMMENT 10
1)Its related because if you commit a crime there will be always (word order) a punishment.
3a)there its a lot of reasons for me, they just like to do it., some ones are orphans, etc.
3b) We can help them, getting them to do another activity to distract them, or just get them to the psychiatrist, that just if your son is veeeery bad.
4)Teens like to call the attention but maybe they are not bad , it's just the maturing stage and they need someone to guide them and teach them the good way of life.
So in my opinion also that adolescents do bad things because they feel funny that we should give them a chance for them to change.Not in all the cases there is teens that deserve a very bad punishment.
Nice Job Julian! I know you can write a lot more! Keep working!
Your mark is an 8.(eight)
