Beside from illegal internet downloads, I stole Pokémon stickers from Walmart when I was 13. My sister (11 years old) convinced me we weren't really stealing, and it wasn't "really bad"
My mom saw my stickers and she asked "Where did you get them?". . . and I couldn't lie. She scolded us and gave us a sermon about stealing and told us about my cousin who once stole a toy and had big problems with the police.
Then, my mom made my sister return the stickers to Walmart.
The fact that you were persuaded to break the law by a younger child reminds me of something that happened to me. The neighbour's kids, who were a few years younger than me, thought it would be laugh to go into the garden of a vacant house (owner's couldn't find a buyer and moved out, yada yada), and I said, "But that's trespassing," but they said, "Nobody lives there, so it's ok," so I believed them, then when we came out of the garden my mum was across the street and saw me and she yelled at me. As this was going on, I realised just how dumb I'd been to trust some kids over my own instincts. I really should have taken charge, as the eldest of the group, instead of allowing myself to be coerced.
