Today, I got caught shoplifting a $10 shirt. I'm not sure why I did. I've never shoplifted in my entire life, or done anything else illegal. I gave the shirt back straight away without hesitation and the woman working took a photo of my drivers licence.
She said that she was going to give it to the cops and that they will deal with it. I then left the store and went home. I currently am not living where my drivers licence says I'm living also but I changed it to my current address as soon as I could.
I turned 17 this year. I highly regret my actions and I am also very worried because my family does not have a lot of money and cannot possibly afford a large fine.
Will I be given a large fine, jail time, etc.? What should I do? I'm going to call Youth Legal Aid tomorrow.
