Okay. Read back over your question as thought someone else wrote it. Would YOU trust that person?
See, what's missing is a thing called "remorse." Remorse says "I know what I did was wrong. I'm ashamed of myself. I want to earn back my good name and prove I can be trusted, to myself and to others."
What I see here is "I'm sorry... that I got caught." Also review the sentence, "I had only stolen 100 dollars..." Fifty cents, five thousand dollars, it's the idea that stinks. The amount is secondary. There's no level of money that it's "okay" to steal.
Will anybody in your family trust you again? That's completely up to you. Understand that what you did was wrong, betrayed the trust of someone who should have been able to count on you (your brother AND your mom), and it's going to take a long time to prove yourself.
The only way to be trusted is to be worthy of trust. You're going to have to be very reliable for a very long time to erase the memory of this one. First off, you apologize. Sincerely, from the heart. First to your brother, then to your mom.
Next, you accept whatever punishment mom sees fit to give you, without (this is key) complaint. As in, "I earned this and I want to show that I've learned my lesson."
After that, it's a long time of being dependable. No sneaking, no lying, no cheating, doing what you say you'll do when you say you'll do it. Being reliable and honest.
Sure, in time, they'll trust you again - because you'll have shown you can be trusted. Just don't expect it to happen overnight.
And don't expect it to happen while you're still making excuses for yourself.

I would not trust you... can you blame your family if they lose trust in you... trust is a HARD thing to earn back so good luck with that. Now if you were my child i would make you pay him back and you would be so grounded, no friends,phone, computer,t.v.,game systems nothing. What you did is a serious issue! and you deserve any punishment that is dished out to you. Hopefully you will have learned your lesson here be it a hard lesson to learn. I think the thing that will make the most impression on you is going to be the trust that your family has lost with you.

Hopefully kick your behind all up and down the street. Dont steal, no one will ever trust you and if you make a habit of it you will also do it later in life, and you mother wont be there. Mr. Officer, judge and constable will. Grow up and keep you hands off of other peoples things. You want money get a job.

well i think it will take a while for them to trust you again. or they will not even trust you. i don't really know what your mom is going to do to you. i am sorry to hear that you are afraid of your mom. maybe after what she does you will not steal from your brother or anyone else.

ONLY $100? that is a lot of money, when someone doesn't have any.
hon, next time you need or want money, ask for it... please don't make a habit of taking things from others.
i suppose your mother will punish you.
i'm sure you will be just fine and that you will learn a valuable lesson. take care.

you are probably going to be grounded and you will have to pay it back.
you have to earn trust back slowly, do not force it. i do not think people will trust you with money for a while.

Apologize and pay it back.
