DEBT PAID, LESSON LEARNED, BOOK CLEARED DEAR HELEN: I tried shoplifting for the first time and was caught. I took something and walked around the store with it, hidden, unsure whether to return it.

Never again! The security guard brought me to the off ice where they made me pay the $3.98 it cost, and write a statement saying I intended to steal it. I didn't attempt to leave the store with the compact. Now I can't sleep nights, hoping my family won't find out.How long is this record kept and can they bring me to court? UPSET AND SCARED AND VERY REGRETFUL DEAR U.S. AND V.R.: You've learned your lesson, you've paid your debt, and the case is probably closed. However, to ease your mind, call the Juvenile Division of the City Police.

Tliey can't arrest you, as no charge has been brought, and you'll be surprised how helpful they are. You see, they NEVER want to see you in DEAR HELEN': During my unwed pregnancy, I participated in a small social club with several other girls. One of the girls stood by me more than did my best friend. I don't know what I would have done without her. She made me feel worthy again.

After the baby was born, I went to work in a dcctor'c But I am 17 and plan to go back to school this month. The doctor asked me to recommend someone to replace me. Both my best friend and the girl who helped me when I needed it are qualified. I'm sure my best friend expects me to recommend her, but 1 feel the other girl deserves it. Which should 1 choose? P.F.

DEAR Aren't yixi a little confused on which girl is your "bast friend" and which your "fair weather friend?" I think the girl who stood by when you needed her has the best qualifications for the job, don't you? H. DEAR HELEN: Help! I'm a guy of 14 and I'm confused a great deal. My Mom doesn't want me to see or even speak to my Dad, and my Dad doesn't want me to see or even speak to my Mom. I live on Welfare in a foster home. How can I avoid fusses, and yet see both my parents? TWISTED AND CONFUSED DEAR AND Seems to me both your parents have given up the right to run your life.

Take your problem to your Social Service worker at the Welfare Agency, and she will straighten them out. H. NONDIE By CHIC YOUNG OK AX HAVE IP YOU DONJT WAVE AM HOW CANJ IT BE YOUR 6'G SPECIAL?
