For a start, I would like to explain what a boot camp is. A boot camp is a place where boys and girls go when their parents think that they have a misbehaviour. Also, boot camps are part of the correctional and penal system of some countries. These programs are based in the military recruit training camps. Are boot camps a good idea?
Personally, I think that is not a good idea. In the majority of the cases, it doesn't work. Their behaviour does not change and force them is not a good idea.
In USA, they are very popular, but also, very critized. Teenagers go there to bee free of higher prison sentences. State-run boot camps were banned in Florida on 2006, because Martin Lee Anderson, a 14-year-old boy died while he was in one. He was physical collapsed due to the training, but the instructors beat him and encouraged him to continue. They tried to revive him with ammonia, but he suffocated. The parents had signed a contract authorizing the use of physical force.
Although there are different types of boot camps, the ones that are used to change the misbehaviour will be banned. We have other solutions to change and help teenagers not using violence.
