Today, I was so ashamed of being broke that instead of asking my parents for money, I snuck into their house while they were at work to steal some of their food. FML

Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. FML

Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I was looking for a job. I was so desperate for gas money to drive around town that I had to steal $20 from my sister. She's only 10 years old. FML
Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML
Today, I started my first day at work, I've been unemployed for a while and am in college, so naturally I have no money. At the end of my shift, I ask what we do with the extra bread, and they tell me to throw it away. Being poor and hungry, I decide to take the bread home. I got fired for stealing. FML

That's a little low, you should just ask instead of stealing. If they care about you they will help.

I rather be ashamed and full than ashamed, hungry, and a burglar. The food would have fill my ashamed at least 50 %.

"I'd rather be ashamed and full than ashamed, hungry, and a burglar. The food would have fill my ashamed at least 50 %." Ashamed, full and a burgler vs ashamed and hungry. That's a much more accurate version.

You gotta do what you gotta do. But you should also make the decision to repay them back without them knowing too

So it's better that you family eventually finds out you are a thief than broke and hungry? Sorry OP, you are a piece of work in my book.
