It might matter a lot less to some then others but if you live in a small area or something your last name might mean a lot more to your family. And if you do something bad, it's gonna reflect on your entire family instead of just you. I'm sayin this because i was drunk on the weekend at a local dance, i got kicked out and then nearly beat up by a bouncer because i kept on mouthing him. I guess a lot of people found out and the only thing i care about is what people are gonna think of my family's good name, think i got anything to worry about.
if i gave a shit, you would smell it.
