After you “fell in with the wrong crowd” would you say this fact to them

    I fell in with the wrong crowd in secondary school (1990)and again in third level (1999/2000)

    I regret I never said that to them.

    Have you said this to one if them?

    If you keep falling in with the wrong crowd, you probably should have a word with yourself first.

    10yrs to go from 2nd level to 3rd?
    Like a 5yr cycle and a 4 year cycle?
    Clearly the crowds not the problem....

    I thought falling in with the wrong crowd whilst participating in supervised learning was supposed to be difficult?

    Whenever I hear that somebody "fell in with the wrong crowd", I always imagine that the parents of all of that crowd are all referring to everyone else as "the wrong crowd".

    He fell in with the wrong crowd.
    Maybe he was the wrong crowd!

    I fell in with the “In” crowd.

    No, snitches get stitches.

    If you learned nothing else in your 9 years of secondary school you should at least know that much

    How did you know that it wasn't them who fell in with the wrong person?

    I think its a sarcastic post ?

    As in , did you know you were in the wrong crowd, when you were in the wrong crowd?
    Or was it when you were out of the wrong crowd, did you then realise that they were the wrong crowd.... ?

    Yeah I used to hang around with some little scumbags alright. We used to do dumb things like knock on people's door then run away (they were called nick-nacks round our way), try to sneak into pubs etc...

    A few of the lads really wanted to rob a car one night but I wanted no part so I went home. They claimed the next day they robbed one and went joyriding around Dublin, they wanted to go and rob another one the next night and I told them there and then that if that's what you's wanna be doing then we shouldn't be friends because I have no interest in doing stuff like that. I actually got into a scrap with one of them over it but I left, for the next few weeks they tried to hassle me but I always stood up to them and they got bored and moved on.



    Looking back now I'm very glad of the decision I made! 1 of them is now an unemployed father of 5 kids from 3 different women and he currently lives with his mother along with 2 of his kids. Another one is a permanent heroin addict and the other 2 are dead, 1 from a heroin overdose and the other died on the operating table after they amputated his leg due to him injecting needles in the same spot.


    It's mad really because they had a near identical upbringing to me, the same area, the same schools and similar families.



    There but for the grace of God go I.
