Teenager A spends eight hours per day breaking his back loading trucks or working construction in the hot sun. At the end of the summer, he has skin cancer and a used Pinto.

Teenager B sits in his air-conditioned house eight hours per day hacking an iPhone. At the end of the summer, he has moderate national fame, a new 350Z, a cushy job waiting for him, and three new iPhones.

It's amazing to me that people would think Teenager B is the one who did the wrong thing.
