When I was a girl, I stole little things and coins to buy sweets. I knew that what I was doing was bad, but the need to buy something or to have the thing was greater. I never said I was sorry to anyone. But one time I was going to steal some books to colour at the super, I realised I could get caught. I was very much scared and it was harder to put the books back than to take them out. From that moment on, I said no myself "no more" and no more it was. I´m sure most of the kids have a stealing period in their lives. Nothing to worry, I think as most of them have it as a stage in their development. Happy posting

In my memory i didn't steal things before. I think it didn't happen to me partly because i didn't have the need to steal. when i was a child i was told to be honest and a good kid. If i would do it, i could have felt guilty. Now i have grown up. I will buy it if i want something.

I did. I'm not proud of it but not exactly regret it either. I was in the dressing room trying on some tops and noticed one of them don't have that little tag that rings when you leave the store with it. It was only a few bucks but I took it because I could. It made me feel special not having to pay for it. Shouldn't have but I did.

Well dear one it is good to see you around again. I will tell you as a child I used to steal quite a bit. It wasn't until I was around 8 or 9, and I stole something and my Mom found me out. She did try to smash my hand with a hammer for it. Since then I have never stolen ever, not even a little thing. Cheers.

Yes when i was a child i had stolen a nice fragnance rubber from my classmate and then at home i got a big long lecture from my mom that stealing is not right and i should return it back , so the very next day i went to school and returned it and never ever after that day i have taken any other individuals things..Thanks to my parents for teaching me good manners and giving me the understanding of right and wrong.

Yes as a child everyone of us must have done it. Knowingly or unknowingly. Beause as a child we pick whatever we like even if it is not ours. For us kids it is not a theft as we are unaware. But it is the duty of the parents to teach this to the children so that the chidren can learn.
