Ok so ill try to make this quick and get to the point, So about 2 years ago I was doing great so happy a good kid not getting into muh trouble people would talk to me and I was able to make friends. Soon after my 7th grade ended I went far down hill. Im going to be 100 percent honest I started not being able to make friends and wanted more than I had I met some people that did bad things like drugs, shoplifting, and skipping things they were supposed to be at. I started making friends with them and soon after started shopplifting. I got into it hardcore I hated wasting money and I didnt have to. I started doing it with my best friends and one day we went to far and got busted. After weeks of being grounded I realized I had lost nearly every friend I had due to ignoring them and just doing leagle things. I dont see the people who introduced me to shoplifting and really only see my best friend now a days. Now the day I got busted plays in my head day by day hour by hour. The good people I was starting to become friends with dont talk to me anymore and I feel alone. I dont no what to do but maybe you guys have some ideas thanks -smash

Try to change yourself into a better person.
Does your best friend do these things with you? Try and get him to stop, and try to get yourself to stop as well. If you're being around people who influence you to do bad things, either don't be around them or try and influence them to do better things.

Perhaps tell your parents about these things. Tell them that you want to stop and try to become a better person who has friends and is likeable.

(Out of curiousity, do you still do these things? And if so, are you trying to stop that habit?)

Everyones makes mistakes, but what you really need to do is learn from them and move on.

I've had a similar situation to this.

Contrary to what the world may say, it is better to have no friends than to have bad friends.

If you have to break up every relationship you have in order to make yourself a better person, then do it. If you show that you want to be an honest, clean person, then over time good people will start to flock to you.

As for that moment of regret that runs through your head constantly, I know how you feel. When I was in gym in ninth grade I started playing capture the flag too aggressively, and I tripped and fell upon my hand really hard. To make matters worse, I kind of ignored it due to adrenaline and the fact that I had jammed my fingers before, and jamming hurt way worse than this. I figured it wasn't broken. When I got home, I again rationalized with my mother that it wasn't broken. I even played piano with it the next day. We did nothing until a few weeks later, and it hadn't healed. When we got an x-ray, we found out that my finger was in fact broken, and that a chunk of bone had broken off and was floating aimlessly in my flesh. At this point it had been too long, but the doctor still lied to us and said that it would heal eventually. It didn't. Now I am stuck with a bulging right ring finger for the rest of my life. It still hurts to bend it.

It's kind of a little thing, but any little thing that lasts forever appears very big.
But don't feel down on yourself because you have made mistakes. Don't keep letting that awful event run through your head every day, it will contribute to depression. The very fabric of American society is that people can change, especially for the better. If you make a way to accomplish what you want in life rather than excuses, you will overcome whatever lies in your path now. It sounds like you are already on a path for the better, by disconnecting from those who have been a bad influence. Good luck!

I don't wanna rant along about this topic, so I'll keep it short. If you're worried about yourself, speak to someone. A counsellor or family member. See if you can get their help to make your life better.
