Busted


  Enter your response   A Mega-Prompt   Read published entries

Everyone has a story to tell about a time they got busted. Nobody's perfect. Everyone gets into trouble sometime in life. If not in school, then most certainly at home. Tell about a time you got caught doing something wrong.

Here's your chance to come clean and tell what really happened on that day. No excuses, no blaming. What lesson was learned? Was the punishment handed down appropriate, or not?

Has there ever been a time in your life when you should have gotten in trouble but didn't? How did that make you feel?

Mistakes in life are not bad... if they help turn us in a different direction. What have you learned from those times when dumb decisions turned into bad mistakes.
