How big of a moron do you take me for?
When I moved out, I didn’t live recklessly doing whatever I pleased. I had to be responsible to pay my bills every month. I couldn’t let my grades suffer. It was hard work, but I had the freedom to call my own shots.
I knew full well the consequences if I screwed up.
But my parents raised my sister, brother, and myself to be independent adults, and we knew right from wrong.
I knew full well if I did something stupid and landed in jail, my dad wouldn’t bail me out.
I wasn’t about to throw my future away doing something illegal.
See, even at that age, people can make good decisions and get ahead. And know what the consequences would come from bad decisions.
People may have called me a lot of different things, but never ignorant.
