You might  be wondering why your teens shoplift when in fact you provide them everything they need. Actually, there’s a deeper explanation to this. It’s true, they do not really need the material stuff.  They just want to prove themselves that they can get away with shoplifting. There’s an added thrill if there are security cameras. There’s a possibility of being caught but if they are able to get something without being noticed, then they feel good about it.Peer Pressure is also another factor why teens engage in these activities, They want to appear cool to their peers. The first instance that your kids shoplift, talk to them in a diplomatic way. Sometimes kids do it to get their parent’s attention.
