thanks for your input!
Honestly, and you may not believe me, I didn't think at that age that I would be typing this story up years later on an online board to be called a "twat". I'm not defending what I did, it's a story of an idiotic 15 year old who, like many other kids around the country, caused a nuisance and created some eyesores. I was scared shitless in the interview and I am happy to say it's been my only run-in with the law and for very silly reasons. I would never scrawl over public walls or anything now. I didn't clean up the graffiti because I didn't do it (the bigger, more offensive stuff), that was another part of our "clique" that I didn't know too well. The permanent marker (as everyone who has had a cock n' balls drawn on them with one in the past knows) washes off pretty easily, and it came off the landmark about a week later.

What I'm saying is that I was just a snotty bored teenager upto no good. Given that I know of many people my age who were in school with me in prison for GBH, murder and rape, I count myself lucky that I was given a scare by the police and only vandalised a little bit. It wasn't done for attention either, I think you're getting graffiti and self-harm confused.
