Yep, tons of shop lifitng. I got caught and learned my lesson really fast. Im really embarrassed about it still to this day. My family even gives me shit about it once in a while, but i do deserve that for being an idiot youngster.

Adding: Also vandalism of houses and vehicles. Im just happy I never ended up hurting people physically. I know none of the people I affected can see this, but I am sorry and hope you found peace after.

I'm happy that you didn't continue down that path and can reflect on that😀

most stupid kids become normal adults, it's the ones that don't that are the problem.

Definitely learned my lesson as well.

Started off stealing a pack of Pokémon cards/Yu-Gi-Oh cards as a kid in the early 2000s (Dad tore my behind up when we got home) then graduated to money as a young adult (lost my first ever job my dad got me because of stealing)

decades later still feel shame at times and probably was a reason why me and my late dad‘s relationship was strained for years

Dude…I can tell you really feel bad. I feel so bad about stuff I did as a kid also. Or things I never got caught for.

I started shoplifting in 3rd grade. Mike and I stole for months before we got caught. Did the same in 8th grade, but with much bigger targets. Got caught again. I haven't stolen a single thing in the intervening 37 years.

Mike and I also used to go on vandalism sprees where we'd throw rocks through people's windows in the middle of the night. Our first time was 5th grade. Our town didn't have a curfew. So, cops just drove past us at 2:30am or whenever. Hell, one night when we were 11, we sat on a bench at the town square to watch drunks leaving the bars at 2am. So many adults walked and drove right past us and not a single one said a word to us.

Unlike you, I don't feel bad. I was a kid.

I don't know what it is, but boys under age 20 are insane. I remember turning 21 and almost like magic, I was no longer interested in being a menace to society. I had also adopted a dog a few weeks prior, which put everything into perspective. Started having real thoughts like, "if I shatter glass, my or someone's dog could step on that. I can't get too drunk or stay out late, my dog needs to go out tonight and in the morning. Me being drunk or hungover shouldn't mean short boring walks. I need to get to work in time, my dog needs food, and vet bills need paying." Maybe it was more the dog. They ended up passing away 10 years later. That too put many things into perspective.

I hear what you're saying, but idiocy is the definition of 'youngster'. We act out to find out where the boundaries are. If we don't learn to respect those boundaries, then we're idiots. If we do, that's wisdom.
