My best friend was staying at a family friend's house while her mom was on vacation and I went to sleep over there. It was really awkward at first but I kind of got used to it. Well we were going through this huge old storage box of old broken jewelry that was all tangled and I found a cute necklace. I announced that I was "stealing it" jokingly, and I didn't think it was a big deal if I took it because it was old and nobody had even seen that stuff in a long time. I put it in my bag and my friend didn't say anything and I thought they all knew. The family has a daughter year younger than me and my friend and my overnight bag was in her room while my friend and I slept in the living room. When my phone rang early that morning, she went through my bag to turn it off. She saw the necklace and told her mom I was stealing it. The mom told everyone including the neighbors and my mom and her husband who is a police man. She then searched my bag. Everyone is making a huge deal about it and the girl that found it is friends with this really cute guy I like and my dance friends who she will no doubt tell and it will be really embarrassing. I apologized and wrote a really good apology letter to mail to the lady. She is really religious and keeps talking about how I should go to church and repent for my sins even though I'm Jewish. I didn't mean to steal and I don't want everyone to make a big deal out of this. I've never stolen before. My mom hates me though and I don't know what to do if this gets around school or town or my dance studio. Its so embarrassing and I don't know what to do. How do I regain my parent's trust and rebuild my image in front of the people that matter, like my friends and the guy I like? I am 15, a female, and I live in California.
