the adult's main arguement would be that there are multiple cases involving youth imitating the actions they see on the news or from the internet. one example would be the case where students try to produce bombs from household items upon following the bomb making instructions that were availble on the internet.this action shows that they do not think if there is a need to do the things they did or consider the consequences brought about by their actions. they were drove by the curiosity to try out things that seem interesting or new to them.
