Question Posted Monday July 18 2005, 11:14 pm

So, about a year ago. I stole a little make up bag from a store. And ever since then i keep stealing more and more. && i cant help it. It's gotten worse ive stolen hundreds of dollars of makeup and hundreds more of clothes, you name it, i've stole it. When i see somethign, i dont feel like i ened money to buy it, because its so easy. One time i almost got caught, but i was lucky and got away with out gettin introuble. I thought for sure this stopped me. But then i stole something the next day. THen after that, i was in a wheel chair for being hurt while playin soccer. And that was 5 weeks that i havent stole when i was at the mall or ne store for that matter. (wasnt physically possible) well i was happy with myself. And today i went to the mall w/o crutches or a wheel chair for the first time in 5-6 weeks. Andi was all happy cuz i hadnt stolen nething, and i didnt steal ne clotehs. but then, i stole a neclace. I dont know what to do. :-/ HELP PLEASE?

Talk to you parents or another trusted adult. A constant need to steal can be a sign of a problem. You've already taken the first step by admitting you have a problem and also that you feel guilt. The next step is seeking help before you get yourself in trouble.

Good luck and best wishes.

Avoid places that are tempting.

When at the mall, don't bring any bags, get a wallet with a strap or something. Don't wear clothes that are baggy or have pockets.

Go to the stores with friends. That way you will fell less desire to steal stuff.

Learn how to earn and save money. Buy the things you want. It is very satisfying to buy something you've worked hard for.

Talk to someone. You might have kleptomania.

if you think it would make you feel better; you can try returning the stuff back to the stores. they would most likely be grateful to have their stuff back, because that makes them loose money. whatever gets stolen; they pay for. it's not right to steal from other people. you should try and get a job (if you are of age) and get things with your hard-earned money. you'll appreciate the things you buy more. as for you stopping; go shopping with a friend that you could never let know that you like to steal.
