Sociologists stress that deviance does not really occur in a meaningful way unless it is accompanied by sanctions. Think about a time when you "got away with" breaking a rule. How did it make you feel? Did you ever tell anyone? Do you think of yourself as a deviant?

    How did it make you feel?

    It made me feel wrong, while at the same time I was excited about getting away with it. The guilty come afterwards when I reflected upon what I have done and the possible consequences of being caught. At the moment, there was the excitement and the adrenaline, but after the feeling was not so good. I felt dirty.

    Did you ever tell anyone?

    I have told some of my friends when we shared experiences like that. I never told my parents about it as I was really afraid of their reaction and the possible outcome, but telling my friends was okay since we were sharing common adventures, though everyone had a different experience based on their attitude.

    Do you think of yourself as a deviant?

    Not really. I know that there are some rules in a society and I accept them, but I don't think critics society and address possible injustice in the law makes me a deviant, just active citizens. As for social norms, sometimes I enjoy being seen as out of the norm, but in a fun way that does not hurt anyone at all.
