        In life we always face tough decisions. We struggle between what is right and what is wrong. We as children are always taught to tell the truth no matter what. I have always been an honest person. I'm a terrible liar too, so that doesn't help. When I was about 14, my sister, brother, my sisters friend, and I all went to spend the night on a submarine. We hung out on the boat and on the dock most of the time, however, there was a small gift shop that was there with little gifts and candies. My sister, her friend, and I all went in the shop and were looking around. My sister and her friend didn't have any money to buy anything, so they were going to steal necklaces and some earrings. I didn't want to get in trouble, so I just went out of the gift shop.
          At first, I didn't say anything about it because I was young and didn't want to get my sister in trouble, but I felt horrible not saying anything. I knew what they were doing was wrong, and that they shouldn't just get away with stealing things. I was raised with morals and I knew what they did was morally wrong, but more so I knew that lying and not telling anything was morally wrong on my part. That night, however, I went to sleep without mentioning it to anyone.
          The next morning came around and I knew I couldn't keep it a secret, so I told my mom. I told her that I didn't want my sister and her friend to be mad at me, but I couldn't keep it a secret because they had stole about $100 worth of jewelry from this shop. Need less to say my mom was upset with them. She confronted them and made the two of them go into the shop and return the stolen jewelry. The two were so embarrassed and mortified.  Not only did they have to return the stuff, but my sister was also grounded and couldn't have her cell phone for a month.
          I know that what I did was the right thing, and that my sister would forgive me eventually. I felt relieved after I told my mom about it. I also knew that my sister needed to be a better person and not steal things. I have no idea what happened to my sisters friend. Looking back now I don't know why I just didn't tell my mom that night or why it was such a big deal, but it's done now. I believe I did the right thing.
