I was sentenced to forty hours of community service, which I served in one week and my parents had to pay all court costs, about $300 total. I learned my lesson that day and I have never stolen anything since. I quit hanging out with that crowd and became a more responsible person. I am not perfect by any means, and of course I still make mistakes on a daily basis. However, we are supposed to learn from our mistakes, and I did learn from that one. I am here now to teach someone else my lesson.
Have you ever been caught shoplifting or doing anything else illegal? How did it turn out for you? Did you learn any valuable lessons from the experience? If so, we would love to hear about it in the comments below.

OMG I do have a shoplifting story and I also had to do community service and it saved my life. I never did it again. I was like you my family thought I was just the good child, but sometimes that kind of pressure and perception makes you a little rebellious. I am so happy you also learned your lesson from this. We have all been young and dumb before.
I think we all have stories of the stupid things we have done as teenagers, whether we got caught or not. Thankfully this experience taught you an important lesson and perhaps someone reading this can learn the lesson without going through the painful experience. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
I have always been to terrified of getting in trouble to shoplift. I was at the Mall when we were in grade 9 and my friends decided to steal. I got questioned when they got caught and that was enough for me.
Thanks for sharing your personal story in the hopes that maybe it might prevent a teen from going down this same path. I think sometimes our transgressions are our greatest teachers and they instill us with the lessons we need to move through this world.
This is such an awesome post. My best friend growing up, her dad was a cop. We used to run around at all hours of the night/morning. There was one time one of the officers took us home. When I was in 6th grade another friend and I were shoplifting, she got caught and I walked on out of the store. I sat and waited for her thinking they would let her go for some dumb 99cent pin. Cops came. We later found out the store had called her mom and her mom said to call the cops. I was thankful she never ratted me out.
I am glad that you are able to come out of such a negative path as we all learn best lessons out of every mistake we make in our life. I admire your for the way you have shared it & I am sure this could inspire many!

Those involved in the creation of the court hope intervening when a teen is facing a gun possession charge will prevent them from escalating to violence and facing more serious charges, like aggravated assault or homicide.
The program also aims to reduce the total time a young person is enmeshed in the courts. Program leaders hope most teens will complete the program in six months, far shorter than the length of a typical case and probation term.
The age of teens caught with guns has also fallen. Four years ago, it was primarily 16- and 17-year-olds facing gun possession charges, said Shawn Cohn, chief probation officer at Denver Juvenile Probation. Now, the courts are seeing 14-year-old defendants more frequently.
Over the course of the program, the teens will attend sessions on their rights in police interactions and in court, the dangers of guns and how gun violence affects a community from a public health approach. The participants will also be required to complete community service and create a project that explains their goals for their lives.
When program leaders first presented the concept of the Handgun Intervention Program at a City Council committee meeting in early 2020, they were met with a mixed response. Critics at the meeting said the program would not reach enough teens and was too enmeshed in the criminal legal system.
But the teenagers involved in the program are already involved in the criminal legal system, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said. The goal is to make their interactions with the system as harmless and efficient as possible.
The program leaders acknowledged the Handgun Intervention Program is not the cure-all for youth violence in Denver. But they felt a sense of urgency to address the problem within their work, Johnston said. The prosecutors responded to too many homicide scenes where teenagers laid dead.
So a month or two ago , my son (14) was caught in the boys toilets vaping . I was mortified , upset and shocked . School Called me , three days isolating in school and no phone . I was debating how I should deal with it . Do I shout and go mad ? Or sit down and talk about how bad this is for him etc . I chose the latter , he apologised and was grounded for the weekend .. I didn't go too hard on him , he seemed to get it .
Today .. school called , caught again . I really don't know how to address this and I'm really concerned he is now addicted to the nicotine in the vape ! So many teens do this . I'm gutted . Any advice please ? Please be kind. It's my first post ?
My guess is that he does this due to peer pressure or needing to be seen as tough / cool, depending on what kind of school he goes to. He'd be dealt with extremely robustly at our school. Find out if he's the only one and if there are more the school needs to tackle this full on, do assemblies and such like.
Talk to your son and ask him, does he want to be a follower, trouble maker or does he want to be a leader and genuinely tough guy, which means he doesn't need to bend to peer pressure. He need s guidance, and ideally from his father or another trusted male adult. It's one thing for mum to nag and another to be take aside for a talk, man to man. Others may find this old fashioned but boys need strong role models and male 'mentors' or a string and available dad.
If his dad is around, it might help for him to tale about his own challenges when he was a teen and how he overcame them.
I'd agree with @RollingRandomlyRound , find out why he's doing this. "Lots of students do this" isn't a reason for him to do it. Some teens steal, is he going to do that too?
where is he getting the vapes from? If he's buying them at weekends, I'd be finding him something else to do at weekends. Any elderly neighbours need lawns mown and hedges trimmed?
Thanks both . My partner is the dad figure in his life , maybe I should talk to him about it and see if we can think of a way to deal with this .
I actually signed him up for the gym not long after the first time , a healthy thing he wanted to do , I'm just disappointed!
What do you think is a suitable punishment for this ?
I do also feel it's to 'fit in ' I know when I was 15 and smoking on the girls loos , it was definitely to look cool and fit in !
If he is generally a good kid, I probably wouldn't look to punish for this - and yes, I have a 15 year old boy.
What I would do is sit down for another chat. I would say that if this happens again, all money will stop and I'd stop paying for the gym too and all the other bits and pieces that teenagers 'need' on a regular basis.
I'd ask for his vape and the stuff that goes with it and put in bin.
The above , for me, is dependant on how he is in general though. Like I said, if usually relatively well behaved, then I'd match that and tread relatively lightly. I'd encourage openness and talking - you won't get this with flat out punishments
And the vast majority of us smoked, drank, all sorts when we were that age so it's well within the remit of normal behaviour, albeit bloody annoying.
