Search Results: how do you learn to trust

I was one time that stands out.

As a young teen, 2 women at the front desk of racquetball club had me "pegged" for being the kid that went in the womens bathroom, took a womans purse, and dumped contents in the hallway. When I showed up to play one day, they called police on me. I looked like a real dirtball back then, an odd looking kid. They ID's me based upon my curly hair. They weren't absolutely sure, but they sure acted like it. Called the police... a black police officer showed up. I note race because that was rare for that area and surprised me even more, I had never seen a black officer to that point in my area. He was "nice" looking for an officer, not mean, I was actually comforted when I saw him.

It was really hurtful to be accused though, I was a sensitive kid and didn't lie. To be told I was a liar to my face by 2 attractive girls I admire. And nothing I could do to convince them, even with logic and evidence I wasn't there on the day of the crime. Their minds were made up.

The police man was very clear and direct there was no evidence of crime, etc.. and he never hassled or cuffed me, just let me go.

Long story short: It was another kid with curly hair that was very attractive and one of the girls had a crush on him. They never figured it out though... this kid was a real psycho, but they couldn't see it. He probably wanted drugs or something. Criminal never caught. I confronted the manager, front desk girl and the victim in a meeting, being only like 15yrs old. Was scared, but said... let me play, or pro rate my $ back... I'm tired of being hassled about this. Ddin't do it.

I learned this:
People can think they are right... when they are totally wrong
I was impressed with the office. Maybe I was lucky. Made an impression to trust officers
I lost respect for women.. they can be blind. didn't know that before. Before that, women were like gods to me. I had to learn more to understand.
Some people are mentally ill and will bold face lie.
