One Wrong Move: 50 Shocking Stories of Lives Shattered in an Instant
Last year a kid in my school was caught chewing gum in class, but he denied it so the teacher checked him bag for gum.
The teacher found a s**t ton of weed and other d***s that he was selling to other students.
He got expelled and his parents have sent him to live with his grandparents in Africa for the rest of his life.
Guy I went to school with about 10 years ago, set his house on fire for insurance money with the intention of getting out his stepfather but mercy k*****g his own mother who had terminal cancer. It was idiotic at best and evil at worst. The problem was his stepdad never got out and he died too. And the cops could tell it was him because he had gasoline burns on his hands. So since he was 16 when he did he got double involuntary manslaughter and won’t be released until he’s 35.
Had a guy get busted for drinking and driving during his first month at his new base (Air Force). He was a brand new Airman and his leadership spun the story that he was young, learned his lesson, etc etc and managed to let him stay in. He lost a stripe and got paperwork but could continue his career.
No less than a month later, he gets another DUI. Bam, career over, out of the Airforce, no chance to ever rejoin. Oh, and a bit of jail time and a suspended drivers license.
So what do you think he does? He goes to a party, gets s**t-faced drunk, grabs his keys and tries to drive home without a license.
Cops catch him. Third DUI within just a few months period, with a suspended license, resulting in several months in jail and basically no chance of employment. Not as bad as some of the stories here, but it was pretty crazy to see someone’s brand new career fall to pieces so fast, even with good leadership.
Happened in Tuscon, AZ.
Friend of mine got into the same college I did. We were both excited to know someone when we started school. She received a full scholarship for diving. We weren’t super close in high school and didn’t hang out outside of it. So, we said goodbye after graduation and didn’t speak over the summer.
Fast forward to move in day at college. I was walking towards the cafeteria after moving in and gave her a call. I asked where she was and she replied, “I’m pregnant.” I really hope her life turned out well, but I have no clue. That was the last we spoke. I can only imagine throwing away a full ride to college would f**k you up.
I was eating lunch in downtown Athens, GA, on game day. (If you know SEC football, you know how crazy it can get.)
A drunk freshman sorority sister comes in, orders her food, and asks for a water cup. Then she goes over to the soda machine and proceeds to go put soda into the water cup. The manager saw and would have none of her apologies or pleading. He called the cops. Cop comes, girl takes breathalyzer, cop finds her fake ID and flask. On go the cuffs and off she goes in a police car. All within 10 minutes, and all over a $1 soda. Tough break for a dumb 18 year old.
Guy from my highschool had a baby girl in is early 20s. The baby was still an infant and wouldn’t stop crying. He tried rocking her, but it wasn’t working and he got frustrated. I don’t know the specifics of what happened, but the baby finally stopped crying, but was unresponsive. Took her to the hospital and they found that the she had Shaken Baby Syndrome and the baby later passed away. He lied to police and the doctors about having anything to do with it initially, but later admitted to shaking the baby when he was frustrated. Was found guilty of neglect that resulted in d***h of a dependent. 30 years in jail.
Old high school friend of mine (nice guy, but REALLY naive) started dating this one girl he met working at a restaurant. Seemed fine until she moved in with him, child from a previous relationship in tow a couple months later. She never mentioned it before then.
He told me and some other friends about it and got upset When I said she was manipulating him, and haven’t heard from him since.
Last I heard he’s gotten her pregnant. And still works at that restaurant for a little more than minimum wage. He’s 22.
This story still breaks my heart. I have a friend who got a great job in the natural gas industry after graduating from college at 22. He was making loads of money, was smart, charismatic, and overall a good guy.
After working for 2 years and saving thousands, he quit that job to become an entrepreneur. He got into bed with a shady salesman and tried selling a very niche product to large businesses without having any previous business experience. His money started to dwindle and he ended up starting to sell d***s to make up for it. Why not go back to work? Who knows.
