I used to cheat a lot of tests and I also have stolen a dictionary from my 7th grade english teacher who used to possess this dictionary that i had for a while but then i just started tearing up the pages on a whim and ultimately threw it away. so whenever i look up a word and the next day i masturbate or anything like that, or if i can't remember, or if i just crumble up my paper because i feel like what i did was not worthwhile, i start to reflect on that moment, how before i used to have these sexual feelings and how i am now ashamed of what i did. wish i had never stolen it from him. i don't know if i should get him a new one and resolve the whole thing. but i don't see him anymore and paying him a visit during the summer would be nice it's just that now i need to explain to my parents what i did and i don't think that it's necessary now because he's already found out when i told him about it a few weeks ago. can you imagine how long it took me to confess to him? i wish i had told him right away. now sometimes things happen to me and when they don't make sense to me, i start to think it must be something that i did. clearly, there's no way this would be happening. or is it just my brain playing tricks on me again? sometimes it would tune up a song from the past, a sad song never a good one, and then i would feel sad about it.
all i can say now is i wish i did not steal and that once you start stealing, it has dire effects on ya.
remember to not cheat because then you'll fail a lot of tests until the time is up for you to start returning to the way things were. these things happened and i now believe in what goes around, comes around.

Turn around and look forwards, not backwards. Get out of your own head and into what is happening all around you. It's never too late to change, it just gets harder if you have been in the habit of lying/cheating, you have to replace that with double the not lying/cheating so you get a new, more comfortable habit.

A dictionary is not worth all this angst and you told him you took it so let it go. If it makes you feel better, invent a program to get dictionaries for school teachers or something:

Dictionaries for All

he didn't sound very happy when i confessed to him about it. he probably considers me a thief. but then again, he has another one. the only difference is that this one has more definitions, which might seem much more useful than the other one. then again, there's always dictionary.com. but that still doesn't make me less guilty.

Buy him a bettter dictionary on Amazon. Buy the best one. Amazon will take care of shipping it for you and you will not need to see the teacher face-to-face.

Save the Amazon receipt and shipping confirmation email and look at them next time youstart feeling guilty.

i don't know. i mean, should i? why not ask him first and see if that'll change the situation. perhaps he might not need it. and besides, i'm not old enough to make a purchase. i would have to ask my parent's permission and it would cost them lots of money if they found out. they are pretty expensive no matter where you go.

Sorry, should not have suggested a purchase with a credit card to a teenager

A USED bookstore can sell you an excellent dictionary cheaply and for cash.
