It's
important to know about the law. I wish I would have known more
about the law so I could have made better decisions. If I have
one piece of advice, it's to choose your friends carefully. You
can really be a good person, but get into a lot of trouble if
you hang out with troublemakers. In detention, I don't have freedom
to be with my family and friends, or go places. It's amazing the
little things in life that you miss being locked up here. Being
in a detention center here is not cool. Some kids I knew that
were locked up here and got out made it sound like this was a
great place to be. But, I hear tough guys like them crying themselves
to sleep at night all the time. It's hard to live here, and it's
hard to stay out of trouble when you are not locked up here. Take
it from me, I know it is! But you have to remember that only you
can decide what to do, and you have to pay the price for your
actions. I say learn as much about the law as you can. And, think
about what I've told you and shown you here next time you think
about breaking the law!
