Free of label, but not stigma

The sample of writing I have chosen is about a young man who when he was 16 had sexual contact with a then 13 year old. The young man, Rickey Blackman, was a registered sex offender for 4 years until a law took effect in Oklahoma in November removed his name from the registry. This writing is effective because it was very imformative. I liked that it showed how much it effected his life even after the label of sex offender came off his lisence and he was removed from the registry. After reading this article, I think it will help me with my own writing because it could be related to people our age, so you need to write about things that are related to people you're age and it needs a catchy title.
