They both wanted to escape, to explore far-off lands that were presently beyond their reach. In this way, Aria felt as though they were friends, and had been since the first moment…

Nafeesa Huskey Deviant Behavior When I was younger I had a particular friend that was my best friend, she was fun energetic and risky.

Her father was constantly in and out of jail and her mother could never keep a job. As Henslin (2015) states, “In short, families that are involved in crime tend to set their children on…
