Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft What happens after

[Jeregrette]

I have recently been caught shoplifting about $25 worth of items and I regret it so much.
My guilt has been eating me up and there are some questions I can't get off my mind, so help would be very much appreciated.
I've been getting phone calls to my house number and I'm scared to give it to my parents. Are they allowed to call me ? This has never happened before, btw .
How much might the civil demand letter be around ? They listed all the items on a paper to show my mom which she signed. I never got a look at it though.
Why would they need be SSN, personal cell, and house ?
IN ADDITION, no police were involved but the LP detective followed me into another store and told me that in that store, they could have pressed charges... they found that I had an item from that store but told me that it would immediately be returned. Is it possible that this store attempted to press charges ?

All that was told to me was that the civil demand letter would be sent in a few weeks, but I'm so scared that this will be taken further and made into a much bigger mess. I might just be getting paranoid, but I'm scared out of my mind.
And something else which is kind of beside the point, but still ... inside the backroom when I was waiting for my parents to come, I was sitting in a chair bawling my eyes out and I took off my bracelets, bent it and started cutting myself ( I was THAT scared. This is the first time I have ever gotten in trouble and I didn't know how bad the situation was), when I looked over, I kind of made eye contact with the employee who saw me. Is she allowed to tell my parents or something ? I don't know . I'm freaking out.

Any comments ( concerning the matter) would be helpful. Thanks .

Oh and just saying ( if this even matters), the woman began looking through my purse/wallet looking for some sort of identification but could not find any.
While that was happening, the LP detective and my mother were outside discussing, but I have no idea what about. Before, he was constantly asking me questions such as when was my first time, where was it, and telling me that I should never try again or I will go to jail, which I will because I am very bad at it. I was wearing these bracelets and he asked me if I stole those to ... being afraid that I was already caught the first time and not thinking, I said I did- from a different store a while ago. Can he use that against me ?

I'm sorry for being such a terrible person. I'm hating myself when I read over this and realizing how much of a criminal I am.

YOur lucky if all they decided to do was file for civil demand. Pay it and this will be over. I doubt they are callling however failure to pay civil demand could prompt calls or worse
