Responsibility is shown and defined in daily ways at my age. Perhaps one way most teens can relate to this would be bullying or regular high school drama. Let's set up a similar scenario to what occurs in a typical 2013 high school. A girl, Becky, says some harsh things about one of her classmates, Susie, on a social media website. One of their other classmates, Jackie, sees it and tells the girl. Susie goes to confront Becky and decides to use harsh words and violence. Both Becky and Susie get expelled. Does Jackie have any responsibility in this? All she did was make Susie aware of what was being said, right? Wrong. I feel that Jackie would be just as responsible because if she would have not told, it would have not escalated. But also, Becky is responsible because of what she said. The responsibility of ones self has to come from the fear of convictions. If someone does something they know is not right, they should take responsibility for it and not let other people get blamed.
