Brittany's MP3	N/A	N/A

Hi my name is Brittany, and i am 13. I have had problems with stealing money from my family, and recently i stole something from a neighbor. I dont know why i steal things, its like i get this high from it. My counselor said i should do some extreme sport:) i looked at the pictures from the detention center and it scared me, i hope to stop stealing and to just live a normal life.

On 02/28/10 Zack from CT said: You should tell one person you know to get it off your chest. then if you are supposed to take an extreme sport be creative you dont have to do just that right a story read a story any thing that empties your mind It might not work the first time but you can get your self to follow through with it
On 08/13/09 laura from AZ said: if u know that you have a stealing problem the best thing i think that works is to go tell every one that u have stolen from and tell them what u took and that u r sorry and that this is a way that will help u not steal any more thats what helped me and i was really bad.
On 11/20/08 Veroni from CA said: okdoes your friends do it?? cause i think its cause if they do it you'll do it . im not saying it in a bad way but most of the time its true. im not saying its cool but ive done it too but not that scandelez cuase i wouldnt do that to someone i know who loves me and a neighbor they know where you live and how long do you think you can be low pro til they find out then you'll lose trust in both neighbor and family im not saying you should do that but like you said seeing that scared you then why do it because eventually it'll happen. then that'll mess your stuff up just giving advice dont do it
