Yeah, the system changed. I mentioned being locked up as a teenager. Like I said, almost a year I did in a facility that was as close as you get to prison as a minor. Want to know what I did ? I was put on probation at 13 for shoplifting fireworks. It was supposed to be 6 months. It kept being extended though. Bad grades, extended. Caught smoking at school, extended. Fighting at school ( that was the big one) extended. Never anything criminal. My 6 Months of probation ended up being 2 years. When I was 15 I dropped out of school. When I told my mother she was understandably upset. She grounded me. I laughed at her and walked out. All it took was a call from her to my probation officer and I was deemed "Incorrigible" and ended up in the Missouri Division of Youth Services detention facility for almost a year along side all kinds of actual juvenile criminals. Yeah, I was a pain in the ass as a kid and did not accept authority, but I was not a criminal. When I got out at 16 I stayed at my parent's house for 2 days and then moved in with some friends and I have been on my own since. I did get a GED and ended up in college along side most of my schoolmates who went through high school without me, but....
