Back when I was in middle school, one of my best friends was a bit of a kleptomanic. Every time we would hang out and go to the mall, she would shoplift. Sometimes, if I saw something I liked, she would get it for me and surprise me with it later. Although she was stealing, I didn't really care because she never got caught. However, I realized now, as I'm older, that stealing is wrong. And if we ever did get caught, even if I didn't steal anything, I may have been charged as well and gotten into big trouble.
A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie. Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.
