Answer 2

You stole $390 and you're sad and ashamed ... BECAUSE YOU GOT CAUGHT !!!!... pay back's a ********* ain't it ... Maybe next time you'll think before you steal .

      How bad would you feel if you got away with it ?

Answer 3

Well, at least you recognize you did wrong so that's very important. You learned from your mistake and it is very likely that you won't ever steal again because of the shame you are feeling now. Tell the police what you are telling us now and assume whatever charges they give you (if any because you're under 18). Apologize to the person and let them know you regret it. Don't ever do that again, I had money stolen from me when I was in high school too and I felt so bad because I had to work my weekends for it and the little wallet the money was in was a present from my little sister, something special to me that money couldn't buy.

This was a horrible mistake. But they happen. Own up to your actions, and learn from your mistake, I'm serious. And you should feel guilty, and like a theif. After all, that's what you did. You stole. Every action has a consequence.

Remember, the actions probably won't be as bad as you think if you tell someone, like a teacher, adult, or police officer. Although the punishment will still be really harsh, as what you did can't be dismissed with something as light as, "Don't do it again!". Own up to it. Apolagize to the people you stole from, even if they hate you. You'll feel better afterwords, no matter what punishment you come by. If you don't, you'll be haunted forever by your actions, and feel worse about yourself.  

Answer 5

THIEF you outta be ashamed..you disguuust me..

Answer 6

Take your retribution and don't try to deny it.  It's cause and effect, you stole and you got caught.  At the time it seemed like an easy take didn't it? But what your mind didn't take into consideration was the future.  You should be ashamed of yourself and I'm glad you are.  Being ashamed is only one part of your consequence.  Now I'm sure others will have trouble trusting you so think next time you have an idea or urge to take what is not yours.  You could have easily worked for the money and no shame comes with that.

Answer 7

You may say "Oh, I didn't know what I was doing " but you did. You knew what you were doing when you stuck your hand into their locker. Every human being has a choice, and you chose the wrong one - stealing instead of walking away from the locker.

Now you must accept the consequences. You keep telling yourself you don't deserve it, but you do. Accept it with dignity, pay the price [after all, if you feel bad for the person, you know you can't just walk away after what you did] and you will be set free a new person. That's how it works.

Don't be scared. The worst thing you can do is fear and deny everything and s***w up yourself over this.

Answer 8

All people have stolen something sometime in their life or been intellectually dishonest , maybe it was Music recordings,,money, some item...the thing is you have to work out why you did this thing,...it is obvious you have violated you own standards..and feel disturbed (which is a good thing ... )having discovered the whys decide your intention not to repeat that action ...in other words live and learn from your mistakes
