Apology Letter

Dear, Mom & Dad:

I understand that stealing is wrong and illegal and what happened in the past couple weeks made me realize that the consequences are just not worth this illegal action. I myself have no good reason for what I did but I just want you to know that if I would’ve really thought about it, I would have never done such a stupid and foolish thing. I surely deserved a punishment for what I did because I needed to learn a valuable lesson. I wish I didn’t do it because now I’m embarrassed. I know
I probably lost all respect from you guys. Normally I wouldn’t get into any trouble, but this time I did and for the most foolish act possible. I was with the wrong people at the wrong time. I should’ve took myself out of the situation before it turned into this chaos. You guys always tell me the consequences of shoplifting and I went against your rules and did it anyways. I know you guys are embarrassed because of what I did. Having to get that phone call and be shocked hearing that your child committed a crime. Having to sit in a room and be told what has to be done so this problem can go away. I know it was extremely hard for you guys. You guys were probably like “are you sure you have the right number, because this doesn’t sound like my child”. I know tears were shed. I regret doing what I did. I learned that it’s not fun having to get called out in front of a crowd of people. I’ve also learned that it takes a lot of time out of my life because I have to do many different things to get myself out of the situation. I even had to miss a class or two because I had to go to a sheriff's office. It’s embarrassing to walk in that door and have to sit and talk about what I did. This experience was the worst ever. I could’ve done a lot to prevent this situation from happening. I could have stayed home, I could have not been with the people I was with, or I could have paid for everything. It was a stupid mistake. I lost a lot because of this stupid mistake. I lost trust
