You're really not going to be able to stop them, it has to be their decision. Just don't go shopping with them, even if you don't join in (which I agree you shouldn't) chances are that you will be the one to get caught. If they are true friends, they would not be pressurising you to do something that they know is illegal and you are so obviously unhappy with. It sounds as though they are testing you. If they are and that is what they base their idea of friendship on, you really would be better off finding new friends and waiting for them to mature. Stick to your morals, good luck.

Yes, you risk getting in trouble too. If they are pressuring you to do something illegal they are not really your friends. I know you want to go shopping with them, but don't. They will get caught eventually and maybe it will make them stop, maybe not. At least you will be the better person!

Don't try to get to them to stop. Trust me on this one. If you do, that will make them try harder to get you to join in. This is going to seem like the wrong thing to do, but the best thing you can do is just turn the other way. Don't go shopping with them because you're right, you WILL get into trouble if they're caught. To the security guards, teenagers are all the same. You can do other things besides shopping, like watching movies at home. And if they start talking about shoplifting, either ignore it or subtly change the subject. Eventually, I'm sure they will be caught, and that will probably make them stop. Unfortunately you can't be responsible for your friends' actions. This is what my mom told me, because when she was a teenager she told her friends to stop smoking, and they pressured her into doing it. Guess what? She's still smoking. I've been following her advice for eighteen years now and so far it's worked. I know it hurts, but your friends are going to do things whether you like it or not. They're responsible for themselves, and if they want to make bad choices, that's up to them. Whenever you feel pressured, just walk away. If it gets really bad, it may be time to find some new friends.

I understand what is going on and i know that this is wrong..You know it too so don't even think about behaving like your "friends".The best thing you could do is to make them understand too.
Explain them why you believe that this is not good.Tell them that they shouldn't tell you do this thing too.
But my opinion is that they are not true friends.Ok, think that they know that this is wrong but they don't care.You should stop being that close to them.Find other friends..Real friends, who want your own "Good"..They are not real friends.Think about their behaviour generally, and decide...
It would also help ask help from someone who knows them..Someone mature and understanding.Someone trustworthy...Let me know what's going on, ok???I hope i helped...Kisses...
