You're a teenager : Are you responsible for your actions or no ?

Literally depends on the age.

19 is also in your teens, but so is 10. I would draw the border at around 14.

My view is if a person is old enough to break the law, they're old enough to be punished for it so yes they are responsible.

10-13 is pre-teens though. 14 I would say is when adolescense starts

Well bullying and beating up is the same across all cultures so every teenager who does it should hold themselves responsible

A mock or a racist/bigoted statement does differ depending on the culture so I don't agree with holding teenagers accountable for something that's only offensive by your own standards. Blatant discrimination sure but there are a lots of small comments that get inflated because it's only considered offensive by some people

Also how do you even scam someone as a teen????

The things you listed sadly happened on the daily when I was at school. The difference was that adults rarely interfered because none of us told anyone. We dealt with that among ourselves. It's what taught us responsibility and how to think for ourselves, because we needed to engage with one another to resolve our issues.

Teenagers don't like to be told what's right and wrong by adults and are likely to do the opposite when challenged by them.

However, back then there was no trial by social media yet, so once an issue had been resolved, that was it. You had learnt your lesson and were allowed to move on. That's no longer the case. It remains on the Internet forever and perfect strangers can dig that shit up years later to paint someone as a horrible person despite having no clue what really transpired or what was said or done in private.

People learn, they get older, and I don't think it's right when strangers who don't know any of the people involved go around playing judge years after the fact. You weren't there, you don't know these people, you have no idea if the issue was resolved, and you frankly haven't got a clue whether responsibility was taken or not. It's not your place to get involved unless you know the details.

imo this matter is way too serious and complex for yes or no answers, I'd rather let a professional in this matter evaluate case by case, such as psychologists and who study brain development etc

By personal experience yes I was responsible by my actions when I was a teenager, but there were things I didn't do simply because I did not know better and didn't have enough life experience to see other peoples perspectives or form a more complex judgment the way I do now.
