Imagine you have a toy, and someone says you must choose if you want to share your candy with them or keep your toy. This bill is like making a rule that says you won't get punished with losing more candy if you decide to keep your toy and not share, just because you want to be fair and keep your choice.

H.R. 8615 is a special rule that lets judges give people who have been hurt or treated badly, like by bullies, a chance to get less time in trouble when they do something wrong. It understands that sometimes being hurt can make people make bad choices, so it wants the judges to think about that when deciding on their punishment.
