A Chinese national who has been vacationing was caught in the act of stealing goodies in a small grocery store nearby my place. The sixteen year old girl told the grocery owner, when caught, that she was coaxed by her friends to steal. Her friends, who were also with her denied saying," she takes whatever she wants,it has been her habit and we've never coaxed her or anything". The grocery own...

I've experienced this,too. That's why I don't spend much money on shoes anymore. I also work at home so I seldom go out unlike when I was working in a company.

shoes and bags do wear out even if you keep them properly, sometimes even wallet made of faux leather. I like collecting them but I noticed that they wear out when they're not used often. So, I gave out my bags and wallets before they become obsolete.

Hi meetjofin! If the girl you like acts like you don't exist then make her feel that you exist! Perhaps,you haven't done something that would make this girl notice you. Make her feel your presence. By the way, does this girl know you personally? If she does, then it would be easier for you to get close to her. If you are already friends with her,then make her feel that she is not just an or...

It's hard to trust people we meet face-to-face what more with the people we meet only through the internet.Perhaps the best way is to get to know the person more by constant communication ask the person as many questions as you can and watch the words that come out from his/her mouth.Take note on how he/she reacts on situations.Of course, these are not reliable it really takes time to know if t...

I think the store owner did not call a police. I saw the store owner lambasting the girl and she was terribly upset.I can tell from the face of the Chinese girl that she just wanted to disappear like a bubble because of shame.Her friends were obnoxious and did not even care.

Yes, It could possibly be peer pressure. Teenagers now a days are daring and most of them do acts like these to please their friends. It is really hard to become a parent nowadays. Sometimes, I am worried on how I would handle this situation when I become a parent in the future.

Indeed the shop owner was harsh considering that he has Chinese blood. But, I think the young girl need not to worry about her pictures with a tag "shoplifter" being posted in public and her reputation because she is just vacationing. Eventually she will leave the country.But the trauma, would leave a mark on her memory but it would also teach her a lesson. Sometimes, people need to learn the h...

I believe that the end does not justify the means.However, the girl is a teenager the punishment might traumatize her. Yes, she might learn the hard way but we don't know how much it will affect her self-esteem.

Actually it is not a mall. It is a small grocery store within our village. Indeed, it could be a psychological disorder.
