scared im gonna end up in a jail cell

toffuna101

as the title suggests, im scared im gonna end up in a jail cell someday. whether that be now or in the distant future. this is probably because of my stupid actions. im 17 as well so im getting closer and closer to becoming a legal adult so at 18 if i do get caught doing something illegal ill end up getting an adult sentence. can anyone else relate or is it just me?

Hi @toffuna101, sounds like you are have a few worries about the transition to becoming an adult and what extra responsibility/accountability this brings, is this right?

I have linked a couple of Mix articles below. Whilst they are not about transitioning to adulthood, they are about how to cope with big life milestones / big life changes, and I do hope they might help.

thanks, kind of yeah, but that wasnt the point of the post. im scared of being prosecuted for a crime, its not about transitioning to adulthood or anything.
