Avoiding Theft
Avoiding theft means making sure we do not take things that do not belong to us. Avoiding theft is important because it helps us build trust and create a safe environment for everyone.
Methods of Avoiding Theft
There are many ways to avoid theft, and some of them include:
- Ask for Permission: Always ask before taking something that isn’t yours. This shows respect for others and their belongings.
- Return Borrowed Items: If you borrow something, return it in good condition and on time. This shows responsibility and trustworthiness.
- Keep Temptation Away: Do not carry things that don’t belong to you or put yourself in situations where you might be tempted to steal. This helps you avoid making bad choices.
- Report Lost Items: If you find something that doesn’t belong to you, report it to a teacher or an adult. This helps the owner get their belongings back.
- Be Honest: Always tell the truth if you are asked about something that isn’t yours. This shows integrity and builds trust with others.

- People will trust you more: When you are honest and responsible, people will believe in you and rely on you.
