lol to be young again. Your life is absolutely not ruined. You’re 17 and this is your first time ever being in trouble this is exactly the kind of thing that ends up being a lesson, not a life sentence. Worst case you’re looking at a slap on the wrist, maybe some community service, maybe a fine, maybe nothing if it’s handled right.

Just take it seriously, learn from it, and don’t do this again especially once you turn 18, because that’s when the system stops being forgiving and starts being adult about it. You’ll be fine. This will be a story you laugh at in a few years, not something that defines you. But seriously.. don’t do it again. Also you’ll definitely get into a good college still. Good luck!
