You also have to add in the fact that they don't want the population at large to know about werewolves. If you turn one of these people and they decide to tell someone then the whole race could be found and wiped out Which makes turning teenagers look even more ridiculous and insane when you think about it! I mean come on, these are the kids you don't want to trust getting pictures of you doing something stupid at a party for fear that it will be on Facebook in less than a minute! Adults (especially people like soldiers and cops) would have a better grasp of the need to conceal evidence than, for example, Scott, who simply cannot resist the urge to have conversations about the supernatural in class, the lunchroom, the locker room, the hallways, etc...when lots of other people are around, presumably wearing very well-concealed earbuds because they have never overheard anything. Except for Kira, who has werewolf-like hearing for the purposes of overhearing the pack talking about having hallucinations.

Also on the secrecy front, I have become convinced that it is actually the Hunters, far more so than the werewolves, who work to cover up the supernatural. Think about it: they have proven many times that they can capture and imprison werewolves! Basically, they could blow the whistle and prove to the world that werewolves are real at any time. But they never do.

Why? Because virtually all the Hunters we have seen are psychopaths, and they appear to get off on hunting, torturing and killing people. The werewolf thing just provides a convenient pool of victims that they can target and tell themselves that they are doing it for the good of humanity. But if they revealed the werewolves to the world, then government authorities would step in people like Agent McCall would be telling them to stand their vigilante ***es down and leave it up to the legal authorities to police things. The Hunters don't want their thrill-killing stopped, or anyone else stealing their fun, so they work to keep it all secret, even when the werewolves slip up and do things that might reveal themselves.
