I really messed up.

Back during summer break, I got into a car accident that severely injured the driver of the other vehicle involved, as well as his passenger. The accident was totally my fault as I was driving recklessly (texting and speeding). After the police conducted their investigation, I was charged with two counts of vehicular assault.

Fast forward to today. I had to go to juvenile court to learn my fate. I'd never been in trouble with the law before, so I was hoping for leniency. But that didn't happen. The judge sentenced me to three months in juvie!

The only reason I'm not there right now is because I have a job, so her Honor is giving me until Monday to get my affairs in order. Then I have to report to the county juvenile detention center to begin serving my sentence.

I own the fact that what I did was stupid and criminal. I know I have no one to blame for this but myself and that I totally deserve my punishment. Luckily, my victims were in court to see me sentenced, so I was able to apologize to them both in person. I still feel guilty as I sit here and think back to that day though. I wish there was a way I could take it all back, but I can't. This is something I'll have to live with.

My parents have been upset with me ever since the accident. I hope to show them that I've learned from this and will never be so stupid ever again. But I also admit I'm not sure how I can. If anyone has any advice I'd definitely appreciate it.

Finally, please pray for my victims. They have since recovered from their injuries, but I really messed up their lives. They deserve all the blessings they can get. And, also, pray for me. I've never been anyplace like juvie before and I admit I'm really nervous.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I feel a little better having written all this out.

Use the time well. It might be hard to read the bible in there but give it a shot. You can also read books and write letters.

For a lot of people there it will probably be something of a daycare/summer camp/joke but having your freedoms taken away isn't fun and there is a lesson to learn from it. A hard lesson for sure and while I think there are other ways to learn it besides detention, that's what you have to go through right now.

I'll definitely keep you in prayer.

You'll probably be around people that are into all sorts of things so guard yourself and seek out other Christians.

You are getting a lot of wise uplifting counsel from the members who have responded. I will say a prayer for you as well for God to keep you safe and hopefully you will grow spiritually during your confinement. Glad to have you as part of our family. Welcome to CC.

Tomorrow is the day I have to self-surrender to the detention center. Mom is gonna drop me off on her way to work, so I wanted to hop on here and make one last post since I might not have time in the morning. First, I would like you all to know how much I appreciate your prayers and guidance. And while I'm still nervous about tomorrow and the next three months, I know God will be with me and I take comfort in that.

Mom just stuck her head in and told me to get to bed. I'm sorry this is so short! Anyway, thank you all and goodnight.

Update are you okay
