Wait... DO I have a problem? o.O

Hey, I'm super-duper totally new here XD (if i seem really happy/random that's just cuz that's my normal disposition pretty much no matter what ^^; ).

So I originally just found this today while doing research on pedophiles and people with anger management problems and other such people. (I want to make a manga and I was thinking of including a few of those things Basically, I have a closet pedo, a guy who gets angry really easily, a girl who'll probably have a dysfunctional family, an orphan boy, blah blah, along with some other people who are all probably crazy but hey, crazy makes a good story XD).

ANYWAYS, looking around, I came across this place for shoplifting and kleptomaniacs ^^ <---- inappropriate smiley ftw

Now, I knew I stole before hand, but i didnt think it was a big deal. I kinda just did it for fun ^^;
But then I started reading around and i realized that i was like a lot of these people o.o

I am a teenager. Mostly I steal food since I don't want my parents finding out about me stealing and with food I can just eat it and they won't ever find out. I believe the first thing I stole was just a small piece of candy. Russian chocolate with vodka in it. They were selling them by the lbs in an asian supermarket like they do with other types of candy in other grocery stores. Now, I just took that cuz i wanted to try it. You know, cuz it contained vodka ^^; Either way, it was actually really good, so next time we went I took another, and continued to do that. It got to the point where I'd take like five pieces at once. And then they ran out >.> So I couldn't take them anymore.

But I found stealing was kinda fun. So I continued to take some candy and such. Then I started stealing big boxes of Pocky e.e; And that kinda built...

I usually feel a little guilty afterwards, but the thing is, when I go to the store and don't take something, I still feel guilty >.> Also, when stealing, I usually feel super-paranoid that I'll get caught. However, that still won't stop me from stealing RIGHT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

Once, my sister and I were just looking at a box of pocky, just chatting and stuff about how we really wanted it (cuz Pocky is awesome XD) And she turns her head for a moment and I immediately grabbed a box and put it in my pocket. She didn't even notice, and I found that highly amusing ^^;

Also, my friends actually know I steal. I never steal anything worth too much as it's usually, like I said, food, mainly junk food, so they don't think it's a big deal either and kinda sarcastically scold me for it sometimes ("Wait, you TOOK that from the candy store?" "Well, yeah, I told you I didn't have any money on me, didnt I?" "O.O" "Dude, it was so freaking easy, no one was even bothering to look." "Bad! You will be sent to he.ll! XD" "XD Well, still sure took you a long time to notice!")

Even though I don't steal anything worth too much, I still think about it. Like, every time I get a new video game, I always dwell on the fact of how easy it'd be for me to just take it and leave. And how easy it would be to take clothes from the mall. Or almost anything that seems easy and promising. The only reason I haven't, I believe, is not the fact I might be caught by the police or something, but that my parents might find it and question me about it >.>

My sis has already done that several times. I'd be eating an Altoids or something and she'd ask where I got it from. I usually say from school or that my friend gave it to me. It really freaks me out.

Basically in a nutshell, I steal, but only minor things I can dispose of so my parents don't catch me. I do it cuz i find it fun and for almost no other reason. When I steal, I feel kinda guilty, but when I don't steal, I still fell guilty. I didn't think it was a problem, but now I'm not sure. Also, I'm really hungry right now *random ftw*. So what do you guys think?

is it just food, and only from stores?
have you ever stolen anything from people's houses, cars, lockers, etc?
do you steal from siblings, parents, friends?

i'm no professional but those are the questions i would ask..

Well, it's just from stores, but it's not limited to food, it's just mostly food. Actually, yesterday I stole some chapstick and nail polish from a drug store (along with a Reese's peanut butter cup, which I lied about by saying I found it in the car so I could eat it without them wondering where it came from ^^; ). And my dad caught me with a stolen hat today. I am in sooo much freaking trouble -_-; Boy did he try to scare me, telling me if they caught me I would've gotten a criminal record for life and would be stuck with really bad jobs. It kinda made me wanna keep stealing just to prove him wrong. And literally kill him when I got back from school, but that's kinda normal for me ^^; I'm usually quite happy, but when I'm sad or angry, I'm REALLY sad or angry. I probably would've killed someone by now if it wasn't illegal.

Anyways, I don't think I've stolen from anyone's houses and such, and I only steal from friends as a joke, usually give whatever it is back later. I mainly steal from stores cuz, um... I'm not sure, maybe cuz I don't actually know a store on a personal level ^^; so I can take something and not have to deal with anyone going "where is ________?" later. And it's mostly food cuz I mostly steal from grocery stores, and cuz if I stole other things my parents would find out quick. Like that hat. I'm okay now btw, I don't wanna kill him anymore, but I kinda don't wanna face him again after school >.>; Great, now I'm gonna die. I hope they don't find the nail polish, I should really just throw that away, I actually hate nail polish ^^; It was just so sparkly~~ *o*

dude ive totally got the same thing going on. i steal $#%^ from stores and stuff like all the time, not really anything i really need but just stupid little things for no real reason. or at least i used to before i got put on probation and cant leave the house and all that good stuff. i take stuff from my cousins too who i live with, i like go through their rooms and drink sodas and eat candy they leave lying around. it totally pisses them off but they never say anything about it because no one ever challenges me about $#%^. i used to do this thing when i was in like third and fourth grade where i would steal mechanical pencils and erasers from peoples drawers because everyone in the class except me had mechanical pencils. i know that sounds so stupid but thats what i was like. i stole the teachers felt tipped pens too. i still dont know why. ive just got this weird compulsion with stealing stuff. i never get the whole pangs of guilt thing though. i dont really feel much remorse about it.
there was this one time when i stole something a lot bigger. i was hanging around the neighborhood at about one in the morning when i saw someones garage was open a little. i was immediately like, steal their car. i didnt even have to think about it, it was totally the perfect opportunity. i was just able to fit under, and i tried their car door and it opened. so then i looked in the glove compartment, and there were the keys. i started it up and drove off like a boss. such idiots, right? i mean, i barely had to exert any effort to steal their car. some people are stupid.
btw, im actually 14 and i have no idea how to drive, so that took some figuring out. it must have taken me like five minutes just to get out of the ######6 driveway. but after driving around a little i thought i pretty much had it down. so i went out on the main road, but that was my fatal mistake because i was such a ######6 idiot i forgot to turn the headlights on, and i got pulled over. things pretty much went downhill from there. cop: can i see your license? me: uh, i left it at home? yeah. long story short, got arrested, got in a shitload of trouble. sucked. it was awesome driving though. i kind of want to do it again. dont know if i dare though. well see...
