I shoplifted...and got caught

 

Check these out, too...

  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I recently stole a pair of earrings that were about $5. The reason was peer pressure. I was caught and am sentenced to some kind of community service. I don’t what it is going to be. I really regret this and it’s all I can think about. I can’t sleep because I know I have ruined my life.

 

 

Dear Regretful Shoplifter,

Was this your finest hour? No. But you have not ruined your life. You made a mistake and got caught, and you now know that while it’s hard to resist peer pressure, it can be even harder when you give in. I’m sorry for your wrongdoing and for what you’re going through, but hang in there. In the big picture, this won’t be on your permanent record. So just promise yourself that your life of crime is behind you, OK?

Hi! ok...so lately at school I haven't been doing as good. Usually I'm really active and motivated with my grades but now I feel like I've just 'lost it'. For the past month I had a lot of things going on. I had tryouts for softball and was getting used to it at the same time of my exams...which weren't that great. After a while I got used to but, sadly a couple of girls quit and now we don't have a team anymore. Frown That made me really sad for a while. Then this weekend, I found out that I had a paper due and was awake until 1 am finishing it. I didn't do that good on a quiz that I had yesterday and I am really tired. I want to bonce back but I don't know how exactly, I think I've caught the "third quarter slump". Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance!

 

Hey girlie, it's not too late to turn things around! If you're really falling behind in some classes, talk to your teachers and ask if there's any extra credit assignment you can do or if you can come in after school for extra help. And pay attention to assignments you have coming up. Don't let anything catch you off guard last minute again and do assignments as soon as you get them.

I have a really big problem. Its not so much my problem but its my friends.

 

 

Hey Chica, that's a really big deal. Just listening to her will be a huge help. The kids at your school could be kind of mean, so she will need someone to stand up for her.

I befriended a girl online. She is from finland. Im pretty sure shes pretty genuine. Are there ways to narrow down if she is a creep or not (haha i google searched her name to try and find anything out coz im paranoid)??? She seems like shes lonely and just wants someone to talk to.

 

Hey Girl, It is really risky to talk to someone online because you never know who you're talking to. Despite this girl's issues, I think you should try not to talk to her. You really don't know if this girl is being honest or if it is a creep down the street. You need to protect yourself first.
