How's it goin? I'm Ernest. I'm 15 years old and have never been in any trouble before. In fact, I've been on the honor roll all through high school. But now I've really got trouble. I don't know why I did it, but on a dare from a friend, I borrowed this one neighbor's car. You see, we knew the keys were always in the ignition. Right now, I wish they weren't that day. Anyway, I guess I'm not that great of a driver yet and I accidentally went up over a curb and hit an old lady. Geez, she's my grandma's age, 72, and I hurt her bad! The police and ambulance showed up and I was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. And from what I understand, back in 1997 a law got passed in Arizona where this type of case has to be filed in the adult justice system! Before, I might've gotten time in the juvenile jail or put on probation, but now I'll have to serve 7-1/2 years in adult prison!

Thats sorta the same thing that happend to me,thank gosh i didnt hit anyone. Im a car fanatic and since i was 13 ive been driving. I knew where all the keys to all the cars were and my parents somtimes leave for awhile and i would take the car out. Im usually a good,responsible driver but everyone makes mistakes. I got caught by my parents when i was 13 then again when i was 15 (like 4 months ago). Last week 5-17-05 i had a lil' accident down the street when i was taking my friend home. I went around this corner a little too fast and slid into some1's lawn. It was a stupid decision...

Hi, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about all this, but I dont think its right that you had to go to jail for it. This lady that works at juvinile hall came to our school 2day and said that if you drive a car under age you would have to go to juvy for I thinh a day or a month. You drove under age and accidenally hit an old lady, WHATS THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????

What you did is stupid, in my thoughts. But I cant blame you. If a friend ask me to do that he would not be my friend, because he would care for you not tell you to do something that would get you in trouble. Hope you get out soon.
