-- Posted by Anonymous at 11:08 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 I stole $200 from a friends house. I met the friend like two weeks ago-she's really a friend of a friend. Yesterday was the first time I went to her house-and the money was just laying around. Today I bought something that costs $60, but told my mom it was $30, cause she thought I didn't have any money at all, so I said it was less and that I have been saving my money. I really am a good person-I don't steal, or lie, or take drugs, or do bad things. This is like the worst thing I have ever even been close to doing. I was upset over my boyfriend breaking up with me, and I just lost my head. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want my friends to lose trust in me. I...what should I do??!!!! I have already opened up one of the things I bought (I bought two-a game and a book). Help. Please. What the hell should I do?? -- Posted by Stand Up at 12:44 am on Dec. 29, 2008 You should come clean and then deal with the consequences. You made a mistake it's okay. we all do. the important things is to learn from our mistakes and face them. If you talk to the people who are involved in this incident then they might allow you to return the money when you get it (this would mean getting a job or something.). Explain how you feel and what happened. Being honest is the only way to lift this weight from your shoulders. It's not going to be easy but you can do it. Be mature. Atleast you know you did wrong and you can only learn from this. I'm sure that if you are honest your friends will understand. Just open up and don't be afraid to show your emotions. Why do you think you are going to Jail, though? Best wishes! -- Posted by cherryD at 5:03 am on Dec. 29, 2008  Hey, honey. I don't think you would go to jail just because of that. Don't be so scared, alright?  Has your friend noticed yet? Well, tell her you took $200 from her, and tell her you are sorry, and you'll pay it back, but you just can't pay her back right now but you will pay her back. It's not going to be that serious, alright? She won't do anything to you.
