Did you grow up in a city?

I grew up right in the middle of a very large American city. Did plenty of stupid shit like smoke cigarettes on subway trains, go to parties in abandoned buildings in sketchy neighborhoods, threw up on the sidewalk. Never once have I decided to commit property or violent crimes.

You’ve never once decided to murder anyone either, but around 500k happen per year around the world.

I’m not sure why it’s worth pointing out that few of us have done what the author describes, but it’s probably not uncommon. Some kids egged my car at highway speeds, which could’ve cracked the windshield or caused an accident. Not too much difference between that and baseball bat + tail light.

Mix of suburban and rural. Suburban for high school.

Sorry, I don't know where I was going with this. You'll have to excuse me.
