I am in a juvenile detention center. I was arrested for shoplifting. My sentence lasts another month. I am in a detention center very often. I like to steal. I don't care what others think. I don't trust people very often.
I started a new job at the gas station. I like plants and gardening. I garden daily. I am adopted. I am scared of clowns. I am single but my dad keeps trying to get me to go on dates. I don't agree with the act of stealing. I don't think everyone is selfish.
I spoke to someone else in the detention center about gardening and I want to tell you about it.  Really? I'm surprised someone in the detention center knows about gardening. What did they say? They said it is just like shoplifting in a way, where there is little room for success. I don't agree with you at all. Shoplifting is wrong - it can never be called a success. Gardening has unlimited potential - it's amazing to see new life growing and changing every day. I'd call that success. You don't know where I've been to get here. You won't understand. Once I'm out hopefully I can get you to understand me more. You've been in and out that detention center, I thought you would have learned by now. When do you get out this time? I got a few more weeks, I was actually hoping you could get me a job at that gas station... I don't think it's likely they will take you on, with your history. And I only just started the job so I wouldn't have much influence! You'd have to apply and see what they say.  If they take me, I could get a lot of stuff you know. Steal a lot of stuff, more like! Do you really think a gas station would take on someone with a history of shoplifting? I wish I could help you but every time I try, you just end up getting arrested again. Look, I really like stealing...it's no secret. But I think I could get better if I had this job, I just need a chance! I just don't think they would hire you. You need to get past this stealing habit first! Why don't you try some kind of therapy?
