I know that when we are a child we get jealous about the things that our friends carry and that we don't have and we want to get that thing by all costs and we sometimes steal them.I had one incident in my school life which i still remember,
One day a friend of mine brought something new to the school i still can't remember what it is and he started showing off it in the class and the full class has gathered around him and frankly speaking i got jealous about the attention he is getting and thought of doing something about it so i slipped in the lunch break stealed that thing took it to my house made some changes and next day the centre of attraction was me.
Now whenever i remember that scene i couldnot help but laugh to myself.
Do anyone of you have similar experiences?

Oh no stealing is bad, but I and the neighborhood kids stole mangoes from the neighbor's mango tree. Actually, the branch which had unripe mangoes was already branching out into the fence inside our compound. I and the gang would jump and hold on to the branch while we all pull and pull until we could get the mangoes. The owner would be angry and shout at us for stealing the mangoes. He even told the parents about our activity almost every afternoon. But we like to get the mangoes and dare everyone to get one. LOL

stealing is really bad when we are mature and we know that it is bad and we should not do it.but when we are small we really don't think of the consequences but just carry on with it because it gives us attention or pleasure but the same thing should not be repeated after attaining certain age

I must admit when I was a pupil in primary school,at that time I have begun to steal something which is belong to me,but that's not means when I was a child,my dream is to be a thiefBut I really stole something from others.I still remember what I stole is a piece of something which is paper currency.Its face value is 100 Yuan,the biggest face value in Chinese currency.For its day,this is really a pretty penny at that time which is in 1990's
The result of this thing is I was punished terrificly by my mother,because I was not only stole the money but also lied to her.My mother told me it's impossible for anyone to never make a mistake,but once you made,don't care too much,just cure it.But lie is not right

I stole money from my mom's purse when I was a child. I wanted to buy tond of candies so much and I din;t have money.
I felt so bad. But i didn't wanna admit it either. When my mom went looking for it I couldn't contain the guilt anymroe and I cried.
and i gave it back to her.
That was sooooooooooooo embarassing.

To be honest, yes i did. Whenever i remember now, I couldn't stop laughing.Here comes that evergreen incident...
That was a planned robbery by me and my brother.My sister-in-law once upon a time when she was in love with my brother used to come home when everyone goes out of house for work.She used to bring money and some things for my brother.We both never left anything in her bag. If she finds the things missing in her bag and if my brother asks us, we both promise them that we didn't do anything. One fine day we both were caught and my brother fell down her knees and apologised for us. That day we decided to tell our parents about their love and finally they got ended up in marriage. I can never ever forget this.

I was real bad about stealing books when I was a kid. I read all the time and I never could get enough to read. I had a reading compulsion and I needed books to read. I even stole some from the public library. It's sad when I think about it now.

This is really bad, should I even be admitting this! I remember during my early school years how I got involved with this small gang and they were just so persuasive, I was obviously the guinea pig in the group! Anyway, they took me somewhere, to a car park and all these classy cars were parked all over the place. Anyway, in short they got me stealing the mercedes badge off the front of a car! I think you know the type, it was a three pointed star enclosed within a circle! Anyway, the rule of the game here was to steal this and take the circle off and you were then left with a three pointed ninja star! This sounds totally absurd I know but it's something I got involved with back then and I'm not proud! That part of life is over now though I'm pleased to say. It sounds like you also had quite an experience! Andrew

No, i never. But I have a sad story to share. I am around 6 years old. I lived in an apartment where there is only one entrance room, one kitchen and one toilet. We occupied the biggest room. One night, everyone were blaming me for getting money from somebody else. My mother was there scaring me too. She's not there as my defender.I didn't get anything in fact I do not know how to buy. I can't say anything for myself that time. I am so afraid.
Now, I still have no idea how much was stolen that time. But I remember, how scared I am and nobody believe that I didn't took it. Even my mother.

yes,i have do this thing,because i hope that i have money to buy what i want to eat,so i stealed time and time and didn't remember how many time i did it,although my parents found my behabiour and abuze me and beat me,but i still do like that,so my parents hate what i do and often educated me,until i would not steal any thing,although the thing past many years,but i remember it,maybe it is my fault,maybe i have hurt somebody because of my behaviour,maybe i was child,i did a very terrible thing,so this make me remember it happened in my life.

I remember when i was in high school that I forgot to bring my pen and my teacher told the class that we were going to have a quiz. I asked the person sitting next to me if i can borrow hers. She said she doesn't have extra pen. I remembered that my teacher told us before to better go home if we always forget the things we need at school, so i was a bit nervous since i don't wanna miss the quiz.. Then at the corner of my eyes, i saw a pen under the chair of the person sitting in front of me. I also saw the girl sitting next to him looking for something. So what i did is I bent and grabbed the pen. Smiling all over because i can take the quiz while she was sweating all over because she doesn't have a pen. Good thing the guy sitting next to her lent her a pen lol.

When I was child, there was a period of time when my mother used to buy me a chewing gum I liked. So everyday when we were at the shop, my mother paid for one pack of chewing gum and told me to take one from the shelf, but instead one I used to take two. It all came out when I somehow managed to make my shirt dirty, so my mother took it off to replace it with new one. Unfortunately, I left the chewing gum that I stole in the pocket of the shirt and mother discovered it. She then forced me to go to shop, confess what I've done and pay for stolen gums. From that day on, I don't steal anything anymore.

Hi madugulagopi,
When I was a child I would steal - wait for it - paper! Yep I was a terribly evil child lol. When we had assignments, especially coursework, I would also take a wad of paper and keep most of it in a binder at home, and then get some more the next day and repdeat the process. I used to love doing that, and ended up using a lot of that paper when I was in university so I wouldn't have to buy any more.
There was an incident once too in high school where myself and a group of students got either locked in a storeroom, or randomly left in the storeroom, and for whatever reason the ring leader of the group decided we should all take some school exercise books (the blank ones you write in). I took two myself, but for like a month after I was a wreck each time I saw a teacher because I was sure they would know I had done it lol!
I don't steal anymore, I just don't have the nerves for it lol.
All the best,
Dranz :)

When I was a kid I thought I stole. We were at one of those family restaurants that serves breakfast all day. Anyways when we were done eating I stole a whole bunch of those little jelly packages. I hid them in my pockets. But when I got home I felt so guilty I hid them in my closet. Then I told my mom I stole from the restaurant. She was freaking out. She thought I had stolen tips off of peoples table. I thought what I had done was worse so I walked her up to my closet and showed her all the Jelly packets. My mom just laughed and told me next time to not take so many!

LOL I once stole yu gi oh cards from this kid i hated. damn i took so many and he didn't notice. my friend was in on this too but he ended up ratting me out but the guy didn't care:D all we did was dump all the cards on the floor and pocket some while we were pretending to clean it up. We also blamed it on some random kid that we saw when he went inside to go to the bathroom.
