Starting December 2nd, I stole food from the restaurant until December 8th until I realize that I just can’t do it anymore. I only took it a total of 4 times during school lunch time. It was kind of easy to snatch, the police wasn’t there, some others noticed. No one snitched at me so far. Only my group noticed and they didn’t care. Some helped me. I know it’s a bad idea but hey, everyone steals items with a misunderstanding one time.
When my friend (Whose not in my group) and I hung out on Sunday, I admit to my friend that I stole food from the restaurant. He got nervous when I told him that. The conversation went like this:
Him: Dude, you really should stop stealing food, I mean it man. What if you steal something in Target while cameras are there?
Me: Don’t worry if there’s cameras around with security plans I won’t steal it because I think before I snatch.
Him: Seriously, please stop, and do me a favor and pay the restaurant back $13.50 on Monday during lunch. & also tell your parents about this because what if you can’t keep this guilt inside of you. I’m serious you really should it will be better afterwards.
Me: Alright, well I guess I will right away.. & talk it out to my parents.
Him: I need to talk to my parents about this because I can’t keep it in my head. I’ll say my friend did something bad.
Me: Then say that your friend stole something in the 99 cent store, and the stuff was broken though. Around 2 weeks ago. & that I’ll be paying them back.
Him: Okay, well I need to say that you did right away then.
Then the hang out went well at the end, went to in and out together to eat some burgers and fries.
Starting Monday, he did not talk to me on Facebook anymore. He used to annoy me on Facebook every time at night about Swag Bucks. I didn’t really care about him bugging me about it. As long as we’re homies. Well now, I bet he’s probably scared to talk to me now. Maybe his parents pressured him to tell him my name? Or he doesn’t trust me and he might think I’m going to continue stealing it. I’m starting to feel really guilty about this and it’s like a huge risk of losing friends, and I really don’t want to lose him as a homie. We known each other for 4 years.
I IMed him on Facebook today; however, he did not respond and he was online. I told him that I paid back everything and apologized to the workers of the restaurant. The workers there forgave me for my guiltiness, and my parents got mad at me for stealing food in the first place with a waste of money to pay back.
I feel really bad for stealing with anguish. & please no hate comments! I already settled this with the workers and my parents.
1.) Would my friend officially ignore me from now?
2.) How will I find a way to comfort him and stop making him nervous when we hang out or talk?
3.) How do I get him to believe me if he thinks I’m lying?
4.) Any comments, tips?



He’s just worried about what will happen to you if you get caught, you know? He just wants you to pay for the food and try and not snatch something when your at the store or something… I’m not judging you. It’s just that if you want him to stop ignoring you try having a nice talk with him, and if he doesn’t believe what your saying then he doesn’t need to. As long as you stop and make some thing right he won’t be nervous and you guys will be alright again.
youveto have apologized to everyone but your friend. tell him he was right. u shudnt have stolen. ur at fault, and u need to let him know your sorry.
Stop stealing. You realize it’s wrong so just don’t do it. It will take a while for your friend to trust you again but you can gain back his respect eventually. Only losers steal. Everyone makes mistakes but don’r be a loser from now on.
