I used to steal other kids' pencils when I was a kid.
Did you ever return those pencils you stole from other kids?
No, they're just pencils. It's not a big deal and it was so long ago. But sometimes I do feel bad about it if they couldn't afford more.
Stealing pencils from others may be a minor thing but it still is stealing and it is wrong. It's good that you can recognize your past bad behavior when thinking of what you did in elementary school as that shows that you are mature and can now tell right behavior from wrong. We've all have actions that we regret doing but you should realize that it is all a part of growing up.
I have learned my lesson.
I'm glad to hear it. I'm sure the other kids have probably moved on but its good to be aware of how your behavior can affect others. You can take these lessons and pass them on to your own kids someday.
