wow- i went throgh the same thing as teen. I was 17 and my mom hardly bought me clothes, make up or whatever. me and my friend used to go to target and "take clothes" and makeup until we got caught. I was arrested and so was she- we got charged with burglary because the ammount of makeup and clotheswe stole was over $300 (make us expensive). I had to do community service, pay a restitution etc. Getting caught was enough for me. No matter what you tell her- what she steal will never be enough because every time she does it seems easier and easier despite the fact that it's free stuff. All she needs is to get cuaght and that will teach her a lesson. Hopefully she will learn it before she gets caught. After high school i got offered a job at the Employment Developmend Department EDD government job and becauase of my background i couldn't get it!!! I wa so mad a t myself for being stupid when iwas young. Years have passes and that's in the past but- the emberrassment i went though is something hard to get over especially after my family found out what i was doing- they wouldn't trust me in their houses. Tell her my story and see what she says. If she doens't stop after you tell her- break up with her because if she ever gets vaught she can say that she was in it with you too!!!!!!!!!
Good luck

What is the main reason that she want to shoplift? Once you hace know the fact it is advicable to bring her to see a doctor or counsellor before your gf ran into trouble with the law for shoplifting.

just tell her that you won't go anywhere with her if she cant control her stealing. She will get caught and who ever she is with will take a fall also. dont be the one. You may want to warn others around her what she is up to for thier protection.

Stealing is a disease, a sickness and highly addictive. Get her some help before it gets more out of control.

Tell her that its against the law and you are afraid she will get caught and you don't want that to happen. If she continues to do it, maybe you should consider finding a more responsible person.

She needs more help then what you can give. You need to really find someone else, so that you wont get into a boat load of trouble if you are with her.

Turn her a** in before she steals something and blames it on you!

You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
