For one thing, if you already havn't, you need to apologize to your friend about taking her cell phone. She may not accept your apology, but what's really important is that you say you're sorry and be able to feel good that you've said it. Don't expect to be her friend or for her to accept your apology either.
As for everything else, you have to accept what other people think about you, and if you don't like that they think that you are a theif or anything else, then change those bad things about you and make it right. And also remember that the next time you steal something, you hurt and damage people around you. People who steal don't realize how much money gets spent on certain objects that they steal.
But I'm glad that you got caught because you probably would have never confessed to it if you weren't caught, and that's a really stupid and harsh thing to do, especially to a friend.

Every thing you do will cost you something... And punishment too... Just accept them... because that's what you'll always get... I'm terribly sorry... Just stay cool and you'll get through this... Try to make it up by doing something nice or apologize... I hope it's gonna work. Don't be sad, everyone is punished when they've done something wrong... It's not you only...
I hope I've helped. Hope you're gonna feel better... Wish you the best luck. Don't worry, everything will be alright... [ Devina's advice column | Ask Devina A Question ]
