to a greater or lesser degree we are all products of our environment what we do what we think and how we feel is very largely determined by our past experience robert john paul and bill are no different from the rest we all need social approval recognition and we fight against rejection in every waking hour of our lives we are faced with decisions the moment of decision is the span taken while we are making up online during that period we weigh the factors involved sometimes it takes only a second sometimes hours days or even weeks but that decision is always our own and if it is an important one it may affect our whole future even our life for robert john paul and bill in moment of decision is not far off temptation is waiting in the form of a sleek bronze convertible it's already caught your attention hasn't it voiced the desire to be mobile to move swiftly as part of being young speed is a dimension best understood by you up to now the desire is only a projection of your imagination but in a moment all will notice something that will change all that now the opportunity is there all you have to do is climb in and drive off now your each faced with a decision one that could change your life each of you because of your background will bring a predisposition that will color your decision you know what you are contemplating is against the law it's not a childish prank or a misdemeanor it's a felony grand theft auto so this is a gamble a big gamble the biggest you may ever make for each of you the decision will be colored by many things for john it will be his need for recognition you'll assume the role of the leader a one two job you continually force yourself to compete to win these are good qualities when channel correctly but what you are not considering is far from a worthwhile project but your need for recognition may overweight your common sense as it has in the past you aren't able to find the recognition you think you deserve at home your parents are always saying why you can't do that john you're too young what a stupid thing to say you'll know better when you grow up but as you grew up the vicious child parent cycle began neither you nor your parents were probably aware when it began but i remember the time when you were picked up for curfew and your father was hauled into court was he so hard you really didn't think it was your fault at least you didn't do it deliberately but that didn't make any difference to your father you got recognition all right maybe not the kind you  you deserved but it was recognition and you found that by getting into trouble you were a factor to be considered and consciously or subconsciously you got into more and more trouble then you found that by taking chances you got the approval of your group the bigger the chance the more approval you became the leader and the group looked up to you because you had a heart as they call so again you've got to show you've got guts show that you can be the leader your moment of decision is at hand you weigh the odds against getting caught though you know you're wrong your emotional need for recognition outweighs your good sense another chance to prove yourself you make up your mind come on paul let's go so now paul it's up to you your moment of decision is a riot your fight is against rejection you know what john has suggested is dangerous the chances of being caught are great your folks would be furious if they knew you were even contemplating such an action but after all you don't care they don't love you anyway or at least that's what you think they're always on your back about something they don't like the way you keep your own your hair is too long no son of mine is going to live like some beatnik you've heard it on a million times when did it all start who knows maybe it was when jerry was a baby and you tried to help you didn't know that in the few minutes it took to go to the store to get some airplanes a man that maybe could almost strangle him self in his own bed clothes well he didn't die so what was all the fuss about your mother frantic your father yelling you didn't stop to think your parents had been scared half to death you were angry you wanted to strike back it all seems so unfair and as time went on you got back at them by being bad you're rejected at home or so you think well you will be rejected by your group not at any price you make your decision now bill it's up to you you're not unlike the others you need social approval recognition and you will fight against rejection but you also know the gamble you're about to take us the question am i willing to pay the price is  caught that's a tough one isn't it like all the others your decision will be colored by the past growing up is never easy both your parents have worked as long as you can remember even so there never seem to be enough money for the things you wanted you always spent too much time alone and then last summer you had a chance to go on a fishing trip with a gang but you didn't have a rod and reel and when you asked your dad he said well i'm sorry son and i just don't have the cash why don't you go get a job after school but there wasn't time and you stole a rod and reel your father found out and raise cain but he also talked with you and showed you where you were wrong then he took you back to the sporting goods store you had stolen the equipment the manager listened and he and your dad worked it out the rod and reel were put aside and you were to get a part time job you didn't go fishing that weekend but not long after when the rod and reel were paid for you did go you and your father went together and you gain respect for your father and yourself he helped you with that decision now this one is on you but you're better equipped than you were to weigh the odds and when you ask yourself the question am i willing to pay the price if i lose you know you're not you see the hostility begin ok chicken need to belong is great it's always seemed an uphill fight to you how many times have you heard your parents call if you left the house with the gang be careful there have a good time but don't get into trouble then the jeers and laughter at first you tried to go along with your parents but you lost the respect of your friends it was a hard fight to get it back and you had to take a lot of chances to do it just like the chance you'll have to think now if you want to belong to come that's a stigma that wouldn't be easy to overcome you can't replace that word can you it's your decision and your life and you could face it if you tried but you're not ready to try you've all made your decisions now three to one only one of you squarely faced up to the big question am i willing to take the punishment if i get caught all of you sidestepped that question except bill you think you'll make it so you try but in the world wind of the events that follow the stolen is spotted and the police give fate steps in and you're caught now the cards are squarely on the table you've lost the gamble and you find you're not willing to face the punish all your warped emotional needs seem small against the possibility of going to prison suddenly you realize what you knew all along the decision was your very own and while it may have been colored by your background you and you alone had to make the choice there will be other decisions in the future and though you handle this one badly if you make an effort to understand the reason for making it the way you did you may yet learn to make wise decisions before
