Unbelieveable.

Like adults say everyday, "Growing up is a part of life" and so is making mistakes. If you read my blog then you should already know I got into trouble with the law. I was caught shoplifting at a nearby mall in Claires.(Thank God I'm 17) Well, I now have to go to a "diversion program" for counseling because of it, instead of court. If I pass all the courses then the case wont go on my juvenile record. The course is a total of 3 months -___- Keep in mind I'm leaving for college and I'm hoping I'll be done before I leave. Some of the many questions people ask me: "Why did you do it?" "Who did you do it with?" and "Where were you?" AND the most famous one "Have you learned your lesson?"

Hmmm. We'll one things for sure I can't answer why I did it. There isn't a reason. What do most cleptos answer that with? It's hard to swallow the dumb truth that is "I just wanted it and I didn't want to pay." It's even harder trying to explain it to your parents. The worse part about this is the fact that my parents were disappointed. But they we're rational about it and I thank them for that everyday.

Have I learned my lesson? I don't know. I have these urges when I walk into stores, especially fashion forward ones. But whenever I have the urge to take something I just think back to that moment they handcuffed me, and then I think to myself It's just not worth it.
