I'm 17 and I got caught stealing from Walmart and this was my first time I was pressure to do it in order for people to leave and my family alone I stole up to $40 and I told the people what was going on I have a police report about the threats and the people who pressured me what will happen? Will I go to jail? Pay a find? What will happen?

You won't go to jail, but you will probably be ordered to pay a lot more than $40. Legal fees usually add on a few hundred dollars. Those fees also act as a deterrent. It mostly depends on what the store wants to do.

The story about coercion - can you explain? It probably won't help you, but it's possible that it is something that should be pursued separately. Did you file the police report before or after the shoplifting?
