Granted, at 13 or 14 the brain is NOT fully developed. But at 13 and 14 you are fully aware of what death is, and what murder is. 13 or 14 year old girls in this society may very well grow up not understanding sex and what sex isignifies- especially girls that grow up without a father. Hell, I know 30 and 40 year olds who still have that problem.

That boy went and got a gun, and deliberately took that man's life. He knew what it meant and he made the decision. He now needs to take the adult consequences.
I think that what you are saying is ridiculous. I agree a 13 or 14 year girl does not know the full implications of her actions so why would you think a 13 or 14 year old boy would know the full implications of his actions. It is all about the ability to make adult decisions and 13 or 14 year olds do not have the experience to make adult decisions.
