But like i told her shes gonna get caught and shes like no no i wont! And just a few weeks ago she got caught stealing by the secirity Guard at the mall and they called her parents. And so she will get caught sooner or later if you dont want to be the one to tell thats ok. Just dont go shopping with her cuz you'll get into trouble as well.

AsK_LaNi answered Thursday July 1 2004, 11:08 pm: One of 7 or not, its no excuse for her to steal...its really wrong and could get her into a lot of trouble! if you think that her parents will be hard on her, just wait until the stores catch her. most stores prosecute shoplifters to the full extent of the law, which is alot. you HAVE to tell someone, for your the good of your friend. its gonna be scary, but she could get arrested, and fined A LOT of money.
and this DOES NOT make her a bad person! and dont let anyone tell you it does!
thankz for your time and please feel free to ask me about anything!
