Taking it too far. Sometimes a joke goes too far, and someone gets hurt. Sometimes a prank doesn't work quite right, and someone gets hurt. When you are doing something you have to be aware of the consequences. People can get hurt, without you meaning to hurt them, you shouldn't do things that are risky, illegal or dangerous that involve other people. Because when someone gets killed, your tight.
In the book, Swear To Howdy by, Wendelin Van Draanen The two main characters, Joey and Rusty are best friends. One night Joey and Rusty are out by the river at night, they sneak out a lot, and tonight they have a plan. Joey decide they should make a fake ghost and scare someone. But the plan goes all wrong. They scare the driver of the car so bad they she drives into a pole. When they find out the next day that the driver was Amanda Jane, Joeys big sister, and that she's dead, they feel absolutely terrible.
Everyone makes mistakes, its part of life. Making mistakes, and trying to fix them and make them right. And then learning from them. But when you make a mistake you should admit it, you should come out and say that you did it. If it is just a little mistake then it's fine, don't bother coming out with it. Then you'll just get in trouble for a little thing. If it is a big mistake and it actually affects someone in a major way, or if people have been hurt, you need to come out with it. Or else the guilt will eat away at your soul little by little until you can't stand to look at yourself in the mirror.

Making mistakes is part of life. And along with mistakes come consequences. All mistakes have some sort of consequence, sometimes good sometimes bad. If it's just a little mistake the consequence might just be you learning from that mistake. If it's a big mistake, you might go to jail. Joey and Rusty never thought of the consequences of what they were doing, and what could happen. If they had stopped and thought about it, they probably wouldn't have pulled that prank in the first place.
Joey and Rusty have made lots of mistakes together while planning their adventures. Once they were shooting squirrels that were digging up Joey's driveway, and they accidentally shot Joey's Dad's cat, Mouser. But they didn't come out with it, because they figured they would get into more trouble than it was worth, so they swore to Howdy they'd never tell a soul. When they accidentally helped cause Amanda Jane's death, they couldn't keep it a secret, they tried and were successful for several days. But the guilt was too much, and when Joey tried to shoot himself in the mouth, Rusty decided it was time to tell the truth, for once.

Nothing goes perfectly as planned. No one can see into the future perfectly (as far as I know) and see exactly what is going to happen, and what it is going to do to who. It isn't realistic. So when you are going to do something think: could this hurt someone? Because a lot of the time people never expect the bad things to happen to them. So they are surprised when they actually end up messing up.
People make mistakes, everyone does. Some things are best kept a secret, and some things aren't. People need to be careful, even if it is just a joke, it can still hurt someone. Even if it was an accident, it still happened. Nothing goes perfectly as planned, and if you hurt someone, or mess something up, you should admit it. Everything has consequences and you need to be prepared for them.
