Hi, I was stupid and had really bad friends, they influenced me to shoplift, after seeing them with goods I got the idea of shoplifting. At first I stole a tshirt at supre for $20 and was able to get away with it. I felt very guilty but After a few days later I went to a different shopping mall ( do notice that I live in a small town so my mum has to drive up about 1 hour to go to big shopping malls) and stole something from ally fashion for $8, same thing happened didn’t get caught, but I got really greedy and stole a necklace for $20 at sport girls, I hid it under a jumper “pretending to try it on” and went to the changing room. I wasn’t in the state of mind since I was dealing with so much but I ripped off the tag and left it on the floor. And put the necklace in my pocket, after that the lady went in to make sure everything was clean but she find the tag and talked to her co worker about it, after seeing that I panicked and couldn’t think straight. One of the girl went out to get a security guard I believe after eves dropping on them. That’s when I told the girl that I did it and paid for the jewellery, after that I didn’t know if I was meant to stay but I stayed for a good 2 mins and left and she didn’t tell me to stop or anything.

it was a stupid phase in my life and I won’t do it again, but will the cops track me down and come to my house and tell my parents about it ??? Keep in mind I’m only 14 years old Turning 15 this year.
