It's one thing to say an old man cheated when he was 12 years old, it's yet another to say a 19 year old did it just a handful of years ago. He's still a kid.

- nicoburns 4y agoMy intuition is that there's evidence out there that shows he cheated more, but people grow up a lot from age 12 to 19. That time period is basically the entirety of adolescence! I don't think it's fair to pin the actions of their 12 year old self on a 19 year old.
- MichaelCollins 4y ago> but people grow up a lot from age 12 to 19. I did broadly equivalent stupid shit when I was 12, 16, 19... I don't think I mellowed out until I was 25-30. 19 is young, 19 year olds are generally still in their peak stupid teenager years.

- oh_my_goodness 4y agoAgain, as so many others have already pointed out, he was caught cheating at age 12 and again at age 16.
- jstanley 4y agoIt's a third of his life ago. Were you the same person at 19 as you were at 12?
- School-Cotton 4y agoHe cheated at 16 by his own admission.
- cryptoanon 4y agoA third of a life at 19 is barely a life at all
- frumper 4y agoThe trust is broken and equating it to fractions of someones life is the wrong measure. What has he done since he cheated at 12? Oh, he cheated in random games at 16. Surefire way to rebuild trust...
