You've contradicted yourself here - if you can't base a personality on age, then how can you judge 15 year olds acting a certain way or 12 year olds acting "like 12 year olds"? If age isn't an issue, then why should we "give her a break?" Shouldn't everyone be held accountable for their actions, especially toward animals? Also, if you think a 15 year old is "trying extra hard to appear mature", then aren't you giving your views on maturity?
