Am i a terrible person?

Today we had hockey practice and I realized that I forgot my skates at home, which never happens to any of the other kids because they are all boarders. I am kind of scared of my coach and I panicked at the thought of telling her. At the suggestion of one of my friends I snagged a pair out of the cupboard where kids put their skates to be sharpened, planning on returning them as soon as practice was over. It turns out the girl who's skates they were had practice right after mine and came out looking for them, I gave them back right away and apologized a ton, I know it was really dumb and stupid, and she seemed okay with it but her coach was really angry and says that we need to talk. Also almost my entire team is mad at me and I can't stop worrying about it. I really just want to die. Is what i did normal and understandable or completely terrible? I really try to be a good person and I feel absolutely horrible, I can't even sleep. Also how much trouble do you think I could get in for this?

    this is really dumb. i actually commend you! you did what you had to do to get yourself to practice. besides, you didn't do it to hurt anyone, and you didn't break them or anything. everyone else is just being closed minded and pompous.

    To me, it doesn't seem like a big deal. It's wrong that you took them without permission but if the girl was okay with it then it's really not a big deal. It's a pair of skates. Relax. You didn't even break them or anything. If her coach wants to make this bigger deal than it has to be, simply put, she's just being a total bitch. Don't sweat it though.

    um. well i think you didnt want to get into trouble so you made a descision which probably wasnt the best one. but i think youre being too hard on yourself. stuff happens, youll be fine. just think, youll look back and laugh at this in a few years from now

    Just stand up to your coach, be sarcastic, act like you don't care. Sports is stupid anyway, nobody should or deserves to take it seriously.

    Unless, of course, you're 'dyxselci' and you use that as an excuse to fail everything in life apart from sport.

    Dude... Don't feel bad. And your coach will probably give you a small lecture about it. Your team mates sound like assholes trying to suck up to the coach and subconsciously cover up the fact that they'd have done a lot worse in your position.

    You're fine! The person that you took the skates from is fine about it so don't worry what anyone else thinks! Your team mates and everyone else will get over it!

    You panicked. You made a mistake. You apologized to the owner of the skates. You've learned. Its done.

    If your coach & team want to blow it up & make a bigger deal of this then call in your parents because it smacks of bullying and bad behaviour on their part.

    It was kind of weird. But the thing is that you said sorry so that's fine, relax. Give her a gift, and say sorry to her coach. If they dont't want to accept the apology that's not your problem.

    Maybe your friend that suggested you take the skates should fess up and support your story.

    You should make your story clear to the other coach and let them know that you will do anything to make it right.
