I never really made it to the juvenile delinquent level but I suppose I had my fair share of scrapes with "the man", never anything really serious though. Most of my stunts just resulted in detention or the occasional suspension and not much more.
Probably the worst for me was sophomore year of high school when I just decided one day that gym was a complete waste of time and spent pretty much the whole semester in the woods behind the school smoking weed with some of the band geeks. I never got in trouble for smoking the pot but at some point my gym teacher realized I hadn't attended class in about 2 months and had a hissy fit over it...really its gym...keep things in perspective. Knowing how to roll and smoke a joint has been vitally important to my growth as an adult, wind sprints and how to keep a bowling score, not so much.
Anyway if I remember right I got a few Saturdays out of it, skipped the last one and got a weeks suspension (to this day I still can't figure out how thats a punishment). The following semester I pulled the same stunt and nobody ever noticed...honestly I didn't attend one class and still received a grade for it. Public education at its finest folks.
