Arkansas homeowner shoots at teens egging his car, killing 15 year old girl in the process

112. Yep.

I was a honors student, did my chores, took piano lessons (and was pretty talented, I was usually the 'showcase' performer at our recitals), volunteered, had a part-time job, got my license on my first try (with a near perfect score), was the captain of the volleyball team, played other sports, etc.

I also got floor-licking drunk nearly every weekend starting at age 12. I shoplifted a lot until I got caught when I was 13. I TP'ed and egged more than a few houses. Made out with more than a few guys in public areas. Hitchhiked. Snuck into bars with fake id's. Snuck out of my house in the middle of the night. Went on 'joyrides' in the farmer's fields around town. 'broke in' to the school (back in the day before security system we rigged the door to not close all the way and we'd go hang out in the school on cold winter weekends). Um...I'm sure there's more but I don't remember (probably was too drunk).

I agree with you 100%. I did some monumentally stupid things as a teen. None of it should have resulted in me getting shot. I grew out of all those things. I now have 4 kids of my own who, while not angels, are definitely not as a bad as I was because hopefully, I've been a better parent than my (awful, narcissistic) parents were. But kids will do stupid things, and not one of them should die for it, ever.
