Journal #6: The Blame Game

Blaming someone with something they didn't do could have some very serious repercussions. It's a morally bad thing to do and could get either you or the person you blame for whatever you're blaming them for into a serious amount of trouble. It may momentarily get you out of trouble but you will live with the guild and will probably end up turning yourself in or getting found and out and getting into an even larger amount of trouble than you would have been if you had just been a bigger man and accepted the blame in the first place. Some repercussions could be that if it was serious enough you could have the event follow you for some time. Like if it were for a drug that you had on you and you pinned it on a friend hiding it in your things. You would get in serious trouble for having such a substance on you and most likely do a number on your friends reputation as well. The event could follow you all the way into college and decrease your chance of getting into a school. On the other hand it could also ruin your friends life if he were attempting to get into something that didn't allow any history of drug use. Maybe his life long goal was to join Harvard or an Ivy league school and because you accused him because of your problems you have destroyed his chances of getting into that school and maybe just ruined his life. You would lost a friend and also have to live with that fact that you did that to a person. I would never be able to do such a terrible thing to anybody no matter how much I dislike them. The fact that such a terrible ting could follow somebody around for the rest of their life is a scary idea and I would not be able to live with the consequences of such a terrible and aprehensible action.
