While it may be a stupid 18 year old, there's something about having a permanent record and having to be responsible for that record. We are all too forgiving to those that "made" a mistake. Life is making mistakes and taking responsibilty for them.
You want to be responsible for them, please go right ahead. I'm not interested in taking care of someone who had disregard for societal rule and obligations. Why do I have to be burdened with it time and time again for someone else's mistakes? I have a hard enough time juggling my own.
Shit still stinks no matter how deep you bury it or try to flower it up.
