Gateway Crimes

The Truth behind Crimes and Criminals. We often think crime comes from a broad range of sociological and psychological factors, ultimately forming a multi-convicted felon. But this is wrong, the true Gateway to crime is passing notes during class. Now, you may chuckle at the idea... But it's the beginning of many steps in the ugly direction. For instance, someone begins as a note-passer (clearly disobeying the rules, then this gets another individual involved, together they repeat the crime and continue to draw attention from those around them.) Within minutes, they have begun planning ways to "pass" and not be seen, and their intricate plans might often involve as many as 10 other criminals. Sadly, once their passing skill has been mastered they become bored and long for a more dangerous stunt, exponentially rocketing their criminal career down "the alleys of doom". To all you note passers out there, please abstain from passing notes.... Your life is too precious to waste. It may seem insignificant and trivial now, but someday you'll wonder how it all started... Just remember "I told you so".
