Stealing things
I am not quite proud with I am doing and I want to stop it and I plan on doing that but I always go back to it. I cannot help it and I do it and regret later on. I used to steal when I was a kid and my parents taught me so many lessons and for some years I stopped doing it. Like I stopped but then this year I don't know what is wrong with me. I know it is wrong and I know I should stop it but I do it again and again and it happened so many times and it's my fault. I just want help desperately. I am scared if this becomes something big and affects my life and my family's. Please help me.
