I have a friend in school who is going to a wedding party on staurday. He asked me nicley if i could provide some grog from him. He and I, only being 15, can't buy it at the store, so id have to take it from my dad. He is connected to the very popular side of school, and befriending him in anyway possible, would most certainley give me alot of thumbs up from the people he is connected with, making my schooling happier. Would stealing dads alcohol for him be that bad? My guilt seems to be killing me already, and i havn't even done anything. Thanks.

I forgot to mention it wouldn't be a whole bottle, only about 100mL...

Uh... yeah.... My brother-in-law swipes Alchohol from "Dad" and he really screwed p and took a "special" bottle... the fight was awful... Listen. If that is what it takes to get a friend, then that friend isn't worth having. I was alone at school, but that is temporary... your relationship with your father is permenent. Stick it out... from one (former) loner to another... life *will* get better, if you don't cave on your values!

If yer already on a quilt trip an you haven't even done it yet, THINK!!!!!!! You steal from yer dad an the quilt will be even worse.. An if this person was a friend , he wouldnt ask you to steal... But hey , if ya has a death wish then steal from yer dad. Cuz kid, if yer dad is anything like me ( mind you me is a mum not a dad ) oh you would be sooooooooo wishin you was dead if me ever found out. Besides makin you a thief that would likely end up makin you a liar when daddy asked if you took the booze cuz yer answer would likely be No dad me didn't. Stealin is wrong , stealing from FAMILY is beyond low..

15 is a good age to experiment with those types of things. I'd say go for the vodka and fill it back up with water then shake it up. Your dad will never know the difference. Just realize that there is a line that can be crossed here and you need to make sure you don't go too far. Just so you know, if someone catches your "friend" drunk at the wedding party, he will probably just rat you out and you will get busted.

You've answered your own question. You sound like a very honest person. If your conscience is gnawing at you about it, obviously you know it is the WRONG thing to do. There are many other honest ways to gain popularity. If the word got out that you got busted for stealing the alcohol from your own father, and someone actually got killed from drunk driving while under the influence of the alcohol you provided and stole from your father (who most likely trusts you), THEN what would your conscience be telling you??? DON'T DO IT, don't even think about it.

Hey, its no problem, I did the same thing when I was a kid in high school, and it made me very popular, for about 15 minutes, and I ended up as an alcoholic, broke, crazy and wishing I had never done it.
So go ahead, steal from your father, lie, cheat, use drugs, and totally screw up your life, I did and it wasn't worth it.

I think you have already answered your own question. You know if is wrong, and you know you really don't want to do it. But now think about the future. Let's say you do this for your "friend". ( I use the term loosely because I personally don't think someone who asks you to do something that's wrong is much of a friend.) But if you do this for your friend, what do you think will be the future? My suspicion is that he will expect you to keep doing this for him. You did it once, how hard can it be to do it again? ( and again and again). Even if you don't get caught the first time, if you continue, you are bound to eventually get caught. If you explain to your parents you did this for a friend, I suspect they either won't believe you or if they do, they will be disappointed you couldn't stand up to your friend. Let your friend take his own risks.

You're good. Just take the alcohol, and then pay your dad back for it. Most dads completely understand being 15 and needed to look popular.
Besides its easier to say sorry to family after something bad happen or something wrong was done. Its always best to be honest you feel better and if you feel guilty now you really don't want to feel any worse.

Don't do it.
That disparity between "popular" and "unpopular", as terrible as it may seem in high school, isn't worth betraying your own morals and character.
There is no reason to suck up to these kids. What's the point of befriending him and his lackeys if (as can be assumed from your question) you know that they are insincere people who are at odds with your ideas of right and wrong and who are evidently rather superficial. Please don't compromise yourself for people who aren't worth it.
Trust me. I'm a 16 year old girl who has never been in that popular, "in" clique. And you know what? I'm glad I never changed who I was or did something I felt bad about doing to gain their acceptance.

That's a tough one. You have to try to think what are the consequences of my actions going to be? I can see it would be very tempting, but your Dad will more then likely know the booze is gone. Is drinking that important for someone your age? It's going to make you sick.
