Deviance
Deviance is breaking a social rule. We all can be deviant in some way by doing something that society sees wrong. This can be anything for example in some societies having tattoos would be morally wrong. We are not perfect so therefore during sometime in our lives we eventually break some sort of social rule. It happens on daily basis with some people and for some it happens not as often. For myself, I know I've broken some social rule even though I may not be able to point it out all the rules that I've broken. One of them I'm sure of is drinking alcohol before the legal age. I knew it was wrong but I did it still for my own personal reasons. Society may find because I started drinking from an earlier than others they may want to stigmatize me as an alcohloic. But that doesn't mean its true, its just the society we live in. Also if this is so, then in some way we are all law breakers because everyone is not perfect.

I agree when you say that tattoos are morally wrong but not everyone thinks like that. Some people have tattoos because it symbolizes something to them, with a specific memory that will always be with them. I like how you say that you, yourself have broken some social rules, not everyone can admit to that, because some believe it's easier to keep to themselves than tell the whole old aout them. Yes, many teenagers today are under the age of 21 that do drink and they know it's illegal.
