To be a juvenile delinquent is not a thing, you must be born with a label; I may of started label confused; and walked out doing what I wanted, wearing what I wanted, regardless of trends and others opinions, as well as everytime you sign up for a credit card/ credit line, you'll be declined every time for serious delinquency, now does that sound like you? Dont forget the head injuries, forgetful memories; the hell and back theory, and always being the same as you were when you hit the Juvenile stage to begin with. Not that you should label yourself a Juvenile Delinquent, rather so the labels you're defined as HITS YOU WITH A POP OUT.

You bully people everyday and then when they go on a massacre you call them monsters and evil but really your the monster, your the evil one for bullying them and harming them and forcing them into causing a massacre. You spray paint stop signs, you vandalize public and private property but you call me a delinquent. You cheat, lie , rape, murder, etc, etc, but I'm the monster for defending myself, I'm the monster for standing up for what is right. You bring your children into a world of violence and abuse them but I'm the monster, you call me the criminal. The way I see it, humanity is the monster, humanity is the criminal, not me.
