I wish the post had gone into more detail about how the author was caught. Did another student rat him out? Was there some forensic evidence he didn&#x27;t consider? I did <i>much</i> worse at my high school, but I was never caught. Chalk it up to trustworthy friends, knowledge of computer forensics, and a little luck. Even if I had been caught, I doubt there would have been any real consequences. A suspension? It&#x27;s going on my Permanent Record? Pfft, who cares?<p>If there&#x27;s one piece of advice I can impart to students, it&#x27;s this: Don&#x27;t worry about getting into trouble. Unless you&#x27;re committing an actual crime, the consequences are entirely forgettable. Even in the author&#x27;s case, a clear and disproportionate overreaction, he&#x27;s <i>glad</i> to have had the experience. So don&#x27;t be cowed. Have fun.
