What are your thoughts on a time that I stole some $1 items from a card store, and my friend saw me? I feel guilty, because I know they saw, but didn't say anything. Also, this isn't the first time I have stolen.
It's wrong to steal. Why did you take the items?
I was having a really bad year, and my social life was a mess
It's good that you feel guilty for stealing, as this is a bad thing to do.  Stealing will not help your year go any better, nor will it help your social life, so I hope you have learned not to do it again.
I didn't listen. I had multiple incidents after that, but I feel this one was totally different.
Hopefully you have learned to make better choices for yourself  because stealing is wrong. You can't improve your life by stealing, this will just land you in jail.
