Question

Can you guys please help?cBrittany, a high school sophomore, is with her friends Priya and Leah in the local dollar store. Priya and Leah are shoplifting small things like lip gloss and eyeshadow. Brittany has never stolen anything before and does not want to start. Just as she is about to point out that the store has security, and they will likely get caught, Leah stuffs a mascara in Brittany's pocket just as a security guard puts a hand on her shoulder.

What should Brittany do?
If she does what you say she should do, what will the consequences be?
What are the consequences she avoided by making that choice?
Is it ever right to rat on one's friends?
If Priya and Leah tell the security guard the truth, how will that affect their identities?

Answer 1

if brittany didn’t steal then brittany shouldn’t have to do anything

there will be no consequences because of her friends actions

being in trouble with her friends

if your friends not doing the right thing then yeah otherwise you’ll have to be guilty with them

they will be respected for it but still be very watched or even considered as thieves
