What if I told you I stole the secretary's purse at school? I'd have been kicked out if anyone found out.
Why would you do something that could get you expelled?
I'm not sure I know the answer to that myself.
Stealing from others is wrong and you should face the consequences of your actions no matter how difficult it may be. At the very least you could anonymously return the purse that you stole so that the secretary can be made whole again after her loss.
You're probably right.
I'm glad you agree. If your compulsion to steal persists, you should get into therapy.
