Stealing money from work.
I used to work at Walmart, until yesterday when I got fired for stealing $50 out of the cash register, to buy a present for my boyfriend for his birthday.
I loved my job more then anything, like it didn't even feel like a job, just because I had so many friends there, and going there was actually fun. I have to pay them back the money & stuff, so I'm not worried about anything happening, because we've already discussed it.
But it's really hard to get over. My parents are so disapointed in me, because my mom told me when I started the job, "Never to steal, you'll ALWAYS get caught." Obviously I didn't listen to her advice, but I just don't know what to say to them anymore, I know it's going to take time. But what can I do to gain their trust back? I get good grades in school, I'm always doing good things for other people, this just happened to be something bad that occured and I got caught.
Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
16/female.
Thanks.

First of all, it is wrong to steal. But whatever, I'm not here to lecture. What I will do is help you. Pay the money back, apologize to the manager and do anything you can for your parents. Eventually it'll blow over and hopefully you'll have your job back.
Hope I helped!

Why don't you just try to convince them that this was just a one time thing and that you won't ever do it again because you will know what will happen the next time and that the next time you won't be so lucky with your parents and that is why you won't do it again.

Your just lucky that you got away with only paying the money back. Why couldn't you use the money that you made to buy your boyfriend a present?
As for the parents thing, it will probably take a long time for your parents to trust you again...you STOLE MONEY.
Your just going to have to wait until they think you have matured enough to have their trust gained back. Theres nothing more to say, you should've thought about it more before you swiped the cash.

I’m sorry dear but you are going to have a very hard time earning back their trust if you think this was just ‘something bad that occurred and you got caught.’
That would describe skipping a class or taking your mom’s earrings without asking.
What happened here was a completely and totally wrong decision that you followed through with an immoral and illegal action.
If you talk to your parents using the language you used in your question and talking about the theft like it was no big deal and like it was just a rough thing that happened to you are going to have a really hard time earning their trust back. You might not actually feel that way, but that is the impression that your words are giving.
Wand to prove to your parents you are trustworthy? Treat this with the seriousness you should and recognize this wasn’t just something unfortunate that happened to you, but something very wrong that you did, that you choose to do. Understand that, and then apologize and express that to them.
Your parents want you to learn from this, they would probably like to know you feel the proper amount of remorse and shame over the whole thing, not just getting caught, but the fact you even did it in the first place! The way you talking about it sounds like all you learned was that it sucks to get caught. If your parents have that impression too, it will take a very long time to gain their trust back.
Other then that, simply never do that, or anything like it, again. Your parents might punish you pretty severely for this, but with a bit of time, they’ll be able to trust you again.

Tell your parents that everyone makes mistakes and admit that what you did was wrong and promise to never do it again,and beilive me,even your boyfreind wasnt worth you losing your job.Just return them the money and get back to walmart and never think about stealing again.Your parents will trust you again when you tell them this.

I know that you learned from this experience, which is important. Just talk to your parents, they love you no matter what you do and just want the best for you.
