Dear 13, OK. You screwed up, and you got busted. You regret it but, since you shoplifted from three stores, is it possible that deep down you wanted to get caught? Sometimes, girls who shoplift just want some attention. When they feel ignored or invisible, negative attention seems preferable to zero attention. Or maybe you were peeved with your BF or upset about getting cut from the basketball team, and felt stealing would even the score. Or maybe you were bored and looking for an adrenaline rush—“thrill stealing.” Level with yourself, and think about what made those fingers sticky. If you don’t know why, you run the risk of doing it again—even if you do regret it. It sounds like you’ve learned the hard way that a “free” pair of earrings isn’t worth losing respect—for yourself and from your ’rents. \Instead of hating yourself, talk to your mom or a counselor about your feelings. Vow never to shoplift again, and come up with something you can do to feel proud of yourself. Helping others is a good way to regain your pride. How about making Valentines for nursing home residents or kids in the pediatric ward? Or organize a bake sale to benefit the American Red Cross or Afghan children? Forgive yourself, lend a hand, and you will feel better—guaranteed.

Look, making a mistake like that is going to stick with you forever...if you let it. Know that what you did was wrong, and be ok with the fact that you need to move on!

ok that is a terrible thing to do but all you have to do is say the truth addmitt it to your self and you just have to ask your slef why you did it and if you want to change and if you still dont feel better say srry to the stores you liffted from :} good luck

Alright, u messed up. Everyone messes up at some time. It's done now, just don't beat urself up for it. If u feel really bad about it, turn that negative energy into something positive. Help out in ur community. It will take ur mind off what u didand u will feel good about urself. It will prove to ppl ur not a bad person, u just did some bad things
