Hey, Justin Bieber, I got arrested when I was 18, and I am doing just fine.

I really actually feel quite bad for Justin Bieber.  I, too, went through a rebellious stage in my life.  I dodged several police encounters, and rightfully (thankfully, more appropriately), from the age 18 to the age 20.99.  We have all misbehaved, and if you can argue that you have not been occasional mischievous, than stop reading, and fix your life.  The point is, he is young, dumb, and most importantly, RICH AS FUCK.  My wild child days were spent primarily in the Village of Slippery Rock, it was awesome.  I can really only imagine how naughtily I would have realistically behaved if I had millions of dollars to back and justify every bad decision I ever made in that isolated little town.  I do not condone drinking and driving, and I have never been a Nascar fan, so for those reasons, I can understand the Bieb's backlash, but honestly, this kid has been under the radar for so long that it was only a matter of time before he got real reckless.  I hope that he gets the help he needs, and comes into his own, but as far as I am concerned, he still has 2 years to act a fool without any harsh judgements from me.

Look around at some of the 19 year old individuals you may encounter regularly.  I work with a number of KIDS in this age bracket, and trust me, they are kids.  Leave Justin Bieber alone- he's going to be doing a lot better once he retires, we move on, and he is able to leave his house without being mobbed and/or harassed.

This is an actual picture of me, the first time and only time I was formally arrested.  It was at a toga party.  I actually didn't get into any trouble, because I didn't do anything wrong, but I did have to sit in a community jail cell for at least an hour while I waited for my dad to pick me up.  Ahh, to be young again.  Mr. Yuk is used only to protect those who want nothing to do with me.  It is not used to be demeaning, or mean.
