The older kid who stole my PSP then helped me look for it. I saw him with it 3 months later, told the school deputy. I ended up getting it back.

He knocked up some girl in high school and started working at Burger King. I went to college and got a degree. Neither of us have made good choices it seems.

Definitely sounds like you made a few better choices than him. Petty larceny led him down the dark path.

seems like you made the better path in life. college and degree, is better than a pregnant teen mother and working at fastfood.

Not when Im in 130k debt and no job. Or, only getting minimum wage jobs still.

true that. but being burdened by raising children you are not ready is probably much more difficult.
