You didn't take it without consent, so 'no', it's not stealing.
Give it back if you feel guilty about it.

Stealing is taking something that is not rightfully yours. You answered your own question when you said the teacher GAVE you 3 sheets. So unless you were told to give back what you didnt use then no it's not stealing. Yes God will forgive you without going to a pastor or priest, we can go Boldly before the throne of Grace, we were made a priesthood thru the saccrifice of Jesus

You were given the papers so its not stealing but if you're feeling a little guilt, it might be cuz you were just a little greedy to keep the extra. But its not a biggie so forget about it and ofcourse you are forgiven by god, now just forgive yourself and don't feel guilty & try not to do it again if a similar situation comes up so you don't have to deal with guilt. Thats how we learn.

Technically, no, you were given three, regardless of how many you needed, this was still a gift.
Of course, while not being stealing it is an EVIL morally reprehensible act that God will NEVER forgive you for. Prepare to burn in hell... Or something like that....

no its not stealing because he gave you 3... and you had an extra so you kept it... it isnt stealing because someone gave it to you. its like if he gave you 5 dollars and you spent 3 and had 2 left over... it wouldnt be stealing because he/she gave it to you and it's your decision to use it in the manner that you'd like.

lol, she gave them to you whether you needed all of them at the moment or not. You will need the third one some day and you will not have to bother her to get more. Everyone is happy. Im sure you will still go to heaven.

you are such an angel!!! but some people do that all the times. and that's not wrong if you ask your teacher first. i ask mine that if i could have some paper to put in my folder in case i need it. they are willing to let me do so. remember, your parents pay school taxes including school supplies

I do not think that its stealing, but you can always give it back to the teacher, or put it back where you found it.
