[quote=Anonymous]I shoplifted as a teen. I was a somewhat repressed straight A good girl and did it for the rush of breaking rules / entitlement. I felt I "deserved more nice things" on some level for doing so well in other things in my life, and unappreciated by my parents (but didn't have the emotional maturity to communicate this at the time). I was caught by a store that reported it to the police my senior year, right after getting admitted to my dream ivy college. I was TERRIFIED and my parents were PISSED, it completely ruined my senior year. I went through an education program and the charge was eventually expunged. 20 years later, I turned out just fine -- happy life, great job, loving relationships, upstanding citizen, emotionally stable (lol). I felt less repressed in college and like most people grew up. On some level I'm glad I was caught, and I'm glad the system scared me with consequences but not so much that it ruined my life.[/quote]
