Ok me and my friend went to the mall and she said we should steal something today im like uhh ok. So we went to a store and she kept pressuring me to do it so i grabbed to some earrings and put them in my bag and then left and then late we went back to that store because she wanted to get her something but i was the onli one that had a shopping bag so she had to put it in my bag and then we went to leave and the worker called us back in. after that her mother grounded her from me and i asked my friend "so your mom pretty much hates me now huh"? and she said yes im like what i know i did something wrong but that shouldnt make her hate me? so does anyone know or have any advice to what i should do?

Well, I'm sure that your friend explained to her mother that it was all her idea and that she had to talk you into it. Or what is more likely is that she blamed it all on you so she wouldn't get in as much trouble, since, after all, the stuff was in your bag. Either way, though, her mom probably thinks you are a bad influence. Your friend's mom is going to blame you and not your friend, because that's what parents do.
Sounds to me, from your side of the story, anyway, that your friend is a bad influence, and you're probably better off anyway. If you really want to stay friends, though, it will probably take time. Stay out of trouble, make good decisions, and don't let yourself be influenced into doing things you know are wrong. Show your friend's mom, through your attitude and actions, that you are a good person and won't let yourself or your friend get into these situations in the future.
She thinks you're a bad influence, prove to her that you are a good influence. Stay out of trouble.

By reading over again what you have wrote, I have come to this conclusion.
I don't feel your friend is a good friend. I have a feeling that she told her mother, the stealing was all your idea. So therefore, her mom doesn't want her around you anymore. Her mother grounded you from her. That ought to tell you something.
What kind of a friend is that? Why would she want to steal in the first place?
Try not to be so influential. You have every right to say NO to anything. You are an individual with thoughts, ideas, feelings and you should know right from wrong. Don't let others tell you how to act or what to do. If you let that continue, I have a feeling you will be sorry.
I won't trust her anymore. I think, you need more friends.

1. Stop Stealing, people work hard to earn a living, when you steal it is not some institution that you are taking from, it is some indiviuals pay.
2 Apologize to your friend and her mother, even though your friend "talked" you into taking something, it was still you choice.
3. Get a new friend.......

You need to do what is right not what is wrong please remember that for the rest of your life.
Now that I got that out of the way, it sound like you do not need a friend like that anyway. She should confess so her mom so she will lighten up on you. You can both learn a valuable lesson and move on.
Peace [ :)>}

I will bet my last dollar that your friend told her mom that YOU were the one who told HER to steal.
Your friend blamed it on you and that's why her mom doesn't want you around.
You still stole something that didn't belong to you, so look in the mirror if you're trying to blame others for your actions.

Regardless of the fact she was the one who insisted you shoplift, you still did it. You have to take that responsibility. She didn't stick a gun to your head, you don't have to do something you don't want to do. You will have to earn her moms trust back as well as she. Good luck.

Your friend was wrong for convincing you to shoplift with her. Stand up for yourself next time and don't shoplift unless you know you won't get caught. Don't ever take the fall for her again.
