its been about 5 days. is there ANY way i could still get caught? maybe im just paranoid. but im so worried that one day im going to get a call at school telling me to go to the office. and there are going to be police there and my parents are going to disown me. yes this is probably a guilt trip. but with my karma all out of whack. i dunno. can this happen?i mean they couldnt possibly have a way to track me down, especially if it was in a mall and it wasnt obvious at all. like i didnt walk out with different earings on.how long should i give it before i just take my guilt, but not worry about getting caught?oh and, i will NEVER EVER EVER do this again. especially because of the "im going to pee my pants everytime the phone rings in class, or the security guard stops in to class" feeling.yes i know. and i appreciate the honesty. but it was in a dressing room and for all they know, i just left them in there. and plus, its not like the mall who attracts thousands of people by the day even those from different states, could pinpoint me from a fuzzy video camera and somehow track me down...right? and to be honest. i didnt do anything suspicious. i grabbed the earings and went upstairs to try on some clothes. as if i was going to purchase them. but lets just say, it was a stupid peer pressure thing that im too old for. and i never want to do it again.yeah im probably just messing myself up. im actually a pretty good kid, my grades arent perfect but i plan on having a decent, successful future. this just little mishap occured and unfortunately, it brought bad things with it. (i have bad karma) and getting caught, even if it isnt a bad punishment, would force my parents to probably send me away. thanks for the answers. it really calmed me down, but yes i still feel guilt. and i understand thats good.

Yes you can still get caught because they have things like cameras and such...I know it is embarassing, but you should either take them back or tell your parents.

Guilt is a good thing. It is your minds way of teaching you a lesson. Let it take its course. If you didnt feel guilty, you would probably keep stealing, and eventually get caught and possibly ruin your life. Be grateful for that guilt. It could save your butt by preventing you from repeating the same mistake.
