These things have been confusing me for years.
1. How is it that if an adult attacks an adult, it's considered "physical assault", but when a kid attacks a kid, it's considered "bullying"?
2. How is it that when a bunch of high school kids tape a freshman to a goalpost in his underwear, it's "hazing", but when adults do the exact same thing, it's "sexual assault"?
3. How is it that, even though minors have almost no constitutional rights, they can still be tried in adult court?
