This article is about two teenage boys who allegedy tortured a cat and set the cat on fire. The boys face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

This assignment was very interesting. I searched for teenagers in the news march 2009 and most of the articles i found painted a very scary picture of teenagers. These three articles talking about auto theft, murder, and animal crulty. From this selection of articles teenagers are deemed scary criminals. It is no wonder they are misunderstood.
