Teens should have the enough maturity to deal with all these problems. If they are not mature enough, they would not know how to react in these situations, and they coul...

Like I said before not all young people are the same, there are many mature ones that are very opposite from rebellious beings. I and many of my peers are the opposite of what society expects us to be. We work hard, and are on the right path in life. Not all of us are violent, untrustworthy, and incapable of greatness.

It's common for many children to be scared of the dark, loud noises and creepy-crawly bugs. While these fears typically dissipate with age, they tend to linger or intensify when children watch scary and violent movies.
