I just had a conversation with a kid in my study hall about shoplifting. He told me that one time while he was at Walmart he stole some batteries (because his sister encouraged him to and she was taking some keychains and such). He then went on to tell me that it is a great thing that he has only stole once. And so I asked him how this could be a good thing. And I went on teling him how shoplifting effects stores and prices overall. And he seemed to see nothing wrong with what he did and told me that if he were to go back in time he would still do exactly what he did.
If this were to be just an isolated conversation, I would just be frustrated with this one kid. But it is not. So many of these kids I work with just don't seem to have a conscience and don't see anything wrong with what they do and no matter what you tell them they still don't see it.
What will our country be like in 20 years? For me it is kind of scary to think about.
