[quote=Anonymous]I stole as a kid and as a teenager. As a teen I stole from the people I babysat for. It had nothing to do with them personally, from my perspective. Here's what I can tell you: I came from a very, very restrictive household. As in, if I got up from the couch to walk out of the room I got asked where I was going. I temporarily traded clothes with a friend and got reamed out for it. Everywhere I turned, I bumped into a rule or a punishment. I graduated from HS in '94, stopped getting allowance in 9th grade, and at that stage, I was getting $3 a week. I did not have the kind of parents who would ever give me money to go to the mall or to the movies with friends. I had friends given $20 a week plus money to go out with friends. I did not feel in control of my life. Stealing gave me a tiny bit of control. More money gave me a tiny bit of control. I grew out of it. I am neither a sociopath nor a narcissist. [/quote]
