Hi.. Im 14 yeasr old and have something to talk about. What do you think of stealing? Have you ever done it? Have you been caught? Does anyone know? Were you alone?

I have stealed for about probable one month. My and a group of girlfriends went to the mall, for fun we stole some underwear.. but the same group friends kept stealing days after. I played n becuz I though we wouldnt get caught and it felt good to get things for free. Jewelery.. tops.. underwear, even my mamas birthday present, a silver chain! I did have this feeling, guilt. And it felt nasty. One day we almost got caught,, they were keeping a eye on us we heard them telling eachother, so we putted the stuf back and left.. I never went in that shop bacjk again and that was my turning point. Ive never stolen since.

stealed???

Stolen Dear.

Watch wen ur mum finds out an sends u to whatever country ur from.

Hmm.. I used to .. cuz Im kind of an extravagant perosn, I like challenges, I see them as jokes. I do things Im not supposed to just for fun, not for the feeling. I just like to laugh about things me and my friends did. I aint no criminal.. I see things as jokes while Im doing them, Im not thinkin about what it'll bring later on. Like.. me and a friend, we climbed at the top of the roof of our high school, just for fun, we were planning on breaking in, but it didnt work. And sneaking into the movies.. sometimes paying for one movie, seeying two others; ) Hmm.. Stealing footballs from the public phisycal school, stealing small things at school, just for fun! Sneaking out the house at night, or telling parents were having a sleepover while were actually nightswimming at the public swimmingpool. And ofcourse stealing from shops. We dont see these things as crimes, we see them as fun, enjoying ourselves, laughs..

But I do know now that those things aint right, so I dont do them nomore.

So What do people think about downloading music is that stealing?

nope downloading isn't stealing its not like someone finds their album missing its like copying

So if you made an album that was gonna go platinum but didn't cause half of yourfans copied your album you wouldn't feel robbed?

or say for instance you were hotter than 50cent, that ain't too hard i know but everyone just copied your album the sales were low so you lose your contract. what then?

But same way i know these record companies are teef in America the albums are nearly half the price as they are over here in the uk.The uk pays the most for an album in europe too.

I don't think stealing is the right word to describe downloading music...more...piracy or robbery (even though that kinda means the same thing as stealing), but I wouldn't necessarily call it stealing, it just doesn't sound right lol

@ stylish

ive stolen b4 loads of times with friends it started off with small things like cosmetics, then it goton2 clothes, bags, shoes, jewellry u'd jus try it and wen u got away with it you thought about wat else u could get. i worked full-time so it wasnt like i didnt have nefing 2 do.we just got a buzz from stealing and getting with it and this went on 4 years but it was occasionally not every week or every month. to be honest i never felt bad i just thought what else i could get. stealing jus boils down to 1 thing though...GREED! i have stopped now as it's not worth it nemore.

Downloading music is not stealing or piracy in my eyes.

Its just like a mate giving you an album that they no longer want.

Why did they create CDR/CDRW and tapes.

For recording meaning copying.

However i'm getting tracks from people around the world.

Why should i pay for an album for £13.99 when i can get it free, i'm already paying my net bill & telephone bill to get it.

I'm not paying for a cd so the artistcan spend their money on flash cars they arent gonna drive or a new extension to their home thats not needed.

Maybe if the precedings went to a general cause, for example to help people out who dont live the life we do, like those people or children who are abused or starve, or those with sickle cell...

Do some good with your earnings.

Stealing is not a good thing. Trust me I shouldknow. I've stolen bare things in the past, when I was your age. As othershave mentioned it was all for laughs. You know when you're young you like to do what you're told not to and stuff, I think I was going through that phase.It started off with sweets, then stationery from school & WH Smith, then jewellery, underwear, bags, socks, etc. I even stole something to give my ex's for Valentinesday lol. That's the day I got caught. That's when I decided tostop the stealing,when I got caught, stupid really isn't it. Luckily they let me off and didn't tell my parents or the police but I just got banned from the shop. That don't mean to say I don't go in there now lol. But on a level I don't recommend stealing becausewhat goes around comes around andhowever much you think you won't get caught you WILL in the end! Trust...

OMG! Me and my friend saw anice pair of shoes! So.. sneaky she putted them under herjacket.. nobody noticed it. So we went out, and the buzzer started buzzing! Thank god we were the only visiters in that shop then. And the shopaccistant was very nice, she believed us when we sad we had nothing on us. She thought my friend was wearing something new with mayB still labels on it.. so my friend started to check her clothes, and the shopaccistant moved on. Sneaky as I was, I took the shoos of my friend and putted them back. We could walk out the store safe again. Now Im sure.. Im never gonna streal again, or help friends steal! Damn.. but there is such a temptation everytime again..
