In which situations will compromise not work in a teenagers life?

In a teenagers life there is mainly two sources of power, one which everyone abides by the Goverment, and the second would be their parents. Every teenager or most teenager get rules in which he/her cant change, rules like you cant stay out past a certain time, you cant get into a fight at school or else you are grouded, or a rule could be that as simple as call your mom every saturday. Lets say the teenager were to get into a fight at school or break their curfue, the parents would then make up a certain punishment in which the parents feel would make sure the child would never do it again. But in my opinion this never really works. One way in which you can avoid a punishment like this is to just not do it, or dont get caught. On rule that no one can get around is murder, a human being cant murder another human being without having to pay a certain consequence. Well I am sure a couple slip by but I know the vast majority of murders get caught and they then go to jail for a life sentece or a certain amount of years. This is a rule which no one can alter, people take this very sereously. A pathway you can follow to some how get past all of this would yet again be to just not comit the crime, or get a very good lawyer.
