I was like
- 13
- Riding a bike
- In a group of like 3 kids
- stupid
- summertime trouble making for the first time kind of thing.
So here I am
Young kid up to no good, hanging out with a bunch of other kids unsupervised, going in and out of some stores.
Well turns out one of the kids was stealing and so as a guilt by association & "teach them all a valuable lesson" type thing, they gave us all probation.
Part of my probation was to do community service, which I completed at a local salvation army over a summer.
The other condition was that I write a "2,000" word essay on how shoplifting affects the economy.
How weird is that?
I learned not to hang out with the wrong crowd at a very hefty price.
