My first offence occurred when I was 13 years old. I'd chalk it up to inexperience and a lack of ability to anticipate the consequences of my actions. I was really self-absorbed. I'm not the same person I was back then. It has almost been a decade.
Reminds me of a friend from my youth who started out pwning the school computers, and the last time I saw him in person (at age 18) we were in the local Apple store rolling our tits off on E when (without warning) he took down a large domain registrar from the demo laptops and we had to leg it.
