Kleptomaniac Friend: A Dilemma
I am a 14-year-old girl. Recently I went to the mall with a friend named Tali. She and I were shopping for bathing suits. We went into the dressing room but didn't find any that we liked.
Then we looked at makeup. We tried a lot of testers but we didn't buy anything.
When we returned back to Tali's home, I was shocked when she changed. She was wearing the bathing suit top.
She said that she had forgotten to give it back. But the next day in the high school bathroom, I saw her using a new lipstick that looked like the ones from the makeup counter.
I think she stole that makeup. And I don't understand why she would take only half of a bathing suit.
I asked her where she had gotten the makeup and she said her aunt had given it to her. I don't want to get her in trouble. But I'm afraid she has a serious problem.
My mother doesn't like her anyway, so I can't tell my mom. Should I tell Tali's mother? What do I do?
