I think we're in danger here of arguing in circles, but let me just say that I think the mindset of "I could've done so much worse, but I showed restraint, therefore It's (relatively) okay" is very troubling to hear (and I know it's not just you that thinks this way). If you broke into a home, and only broke a few lamps and changed the locks on the doors, and then tell the homeowner "no hard feelings, I mean I could've burnt the place to the ground", you sound like a mad-man -- but because this is virtual, the impacts of your actions aren't so immediate or easy to feel, but they're still there (downtime leads to loss of consumer confidence, leads to loss of sales, leads to loss of jobs and livelihoods, and on and on). However, it doesn't mean there aren't real, financial, consequences to the actions.

I realize everyone makes mistakes, especially as teens, but I just wanted to voice my opinion that this mindset people seem to have where because they didn't {burn the server to the ground}, they shouldn't feel bad is both naive and dangerous, and if I were you, I'd do my best to drop it, learn your lesson, and move on. Best of luck.
