I'm 17. I'm a pretty nice person. I do have problems though. My mom is an alcoholic, and it has affected me in a mental way. I have ADHD, OCD, Hypochondria, Anxiety, and depression. I feel lonely a lot, epscially when I'm not around my friends. I know that these problems are what 90% of criminals, murderers, terrorists, etc have. When ever I watch the news, I hear about criminals, and terrorists, and they talk about their life stories, and they have a lot of the same problems. My doctor tells me that I should be fine, since I worry about becoming a criminal, and criminals don't worry about doing bad things. I'm terrified I'm going to become a criminal.

It's not something that is just going to magically happen... one day you wake up and *wham!* you're a criminal. It's something that you have complete control over whether it happens or not. I'd have to agree with your doctor in that if you're actually worried about it (and if you don't want it to happen) then it's probably not going to happen. Just make the right decisions, do the right things, and you should be OK. I would also suggest that maybe you would want to find someone to talk to about your mental issues that you discussed here. Maybe if you could clear some of that up, then you wouldn't worry.

You commit a crime because you make a choice, to do something illegal. And I will agree, if you are worry about it, then most likely you will try not to allow things to happen

People with all of those, also live normal lifes, and the worst crime may be cheating on their taxes.

Many times you hear those things is because they want to make excuses for their choices.

Thank you both for the quick reply, and also for the advice.

You're a good writer and express yourself well. Criminals and terrorists are not good writers. I believe in you. You will succeed in life.

Now, don't disappoint me!
