I'm 14 and i DID go to the store intending to get the bras...but i got blind sighted..i saw the stuff and i wanted it..not thinking about what was doing so I got them, i didn't lie to him at all, there is no reason to have an attitude with me...especialy since u don't know me at all, ppl can feel your emotions through your writng sometimes!!

Well, to show maturity, I would recommend going back to the store and returning what you can (the purse, ear rings and necklace) and getting at least one bra... which is what you said you needed.
It's not about getting the money back... it's about your dad not being able to trust that you're going to do what you say you will. Something small like this is going to trip him up in being able to trust you with other things. So.... take the stuff you don't NEED back, and get what you said you were going to get.
Then apologize to him. I think he'll understand. I'm willing to bet he's probably done the same thing himself.
Good luck.

Return some of the stuff and by yourself a damned bra - you lost focus and lied. Next time keep your word. Put yourself in your fathers place- how would you have felt if you were him? what would you like to have happen? You were irresponsible. Are you like 15 yrs. of age and have no consideration for what you get? Do you usually take advantage of people like that?

If you do not need the bras...you should have told your dad to keep the $50. he is struggling and try to understand that. If Gram gives you money offer it to him and tell him you are sorry. One day you will understand

I would return what you can and hopefully it will be $50 that you can give back to your dad. You broke his wallet first and then his trust. hard earned money is hard to part with and then you spend it on nonnecesities? not cool. But it's awesome that you didn't try to hide it. Also, talk to your dad and if you are sorry, tell him.

Let this be a lesson about putting luxury before necessity.
