Blogpost 5 A Child kleptomaniacs

In our daily lives sometimes there is a time that we are very angry without reason.Our emotion is somehow make us strong be simply being happy,but sometimes this emotion could lead us to a unexpected situation.There are lots of thing that could make us happy specially those people that we love,our family,our girlfriend and best friend.When I'm in high school I always love to go out with my friends but my parents are very strict, so I feel jealous on other teenager that are free to go out and bond with their friends.Then suddenly I saw a teenager that is very free to do what ever he wants,and after our graduation I see him crying a child,I think it is him.And then I realize,what if my parents let me do what ever I want and be free do bond with my classmates and other friends do you think I can go into the college?.That is one thing that my parents want to understand to me,that do not always rely on your emotion,just because you are happy you think that is the right decision.Somehow expressing your feeling to your crush is also a hard thing to do because of the reason that she/he might reject you.It is a very hard situation that some people are happy because they are not rejected but some people are not. Sometimes our emotion is based on our mood,when we have a good mood we are happy and if we are angry we are in bad moods.



The article that I want to share with you guys entitled "Confession of  a kleptomaniac".by Dylan Lavene, from the site of salon.com.This articles is a story of a guy who steal item ever since he's a child.The things that makes him shame about him self is his father is a religious people a pastor.In the article the guy is being humiliated and being a arrogant because of the high expectation of his parents to him.Base on the author that the more you force the child the more that he will not do it.Basically stealing starts as early as child,they develop this sometime because in the problem in their house or environment.This may also an effect of the over protected parents or a very strict parents that cause an emotional stress to a child.And for that matter when he is being stressed on what others may say to his family because of what he was doing he still not stop stealing.When he goes into the age of 15, he said that it was the happiest day of his life because his father left the church and pursue a business career.In that reason he stop stealing because of the freedom that he get from his parents.But when the time he stop stealing,being addictive is the thing that he get from being free.He stop stealing,but he became a drug addict.Every day his life don't have a thrill without taking weed and by the time he run's out of money he came back in stealing.Stealing and drug addiction are related to each other because the drug addict steal money to support their habit.According to Dr. Jeff Gardere a psychologist that"We do see very young children who begin to steal and it is a sign of some emotional disturbance, a lack of permanence in their lives or a psycho-symbolic way to fill the void in their lives,” .In this case I agree to Dr. Gardere because as today many children are rebelling to their parents because of being strict.Like the guy in the article that his parents are strict and for the output of it, the child begun to start stealing.For me that is correct because of the feeling of the child that sometimes cannot understand by the parents,but in a contrast the only thing that the parents do this is because they want their child to become a good people in the society or to become a successful person that they are proudly to introduce to the other people.What if all the parents are over protected to their child because of the reason that I said earlier, do you think many children will be a kleptomania or a drug addict? For some reason this questions gives an information to the parents,but the thing is understanding and respect is the key to have a good relationship to your parent,family and to the other people.

The next article that I want to share with you guys is about the ongoing process of a child,this article entitled "Is My Child a Kleptomaniac?".By Lars Leetaru,from the site of typepad.com.This is a continuation on the first article that I wrote,stealing usually starts in as young as child like.Base on the article in is common to a child to steal an item because of their development.We cannot say that those child are actually criminals because of what they do.Into a life of a child there come the time that they will feel remorse and guilty because of stealing.Like the story of the author when she was a child,she also steal items from his friend.But for the author "Stealing in Childhood Does Not a Criminal Make".This is because the child wants to try every thing and like trying to find out if they might get caught when they try to steal.This idea sounds mysterious in a child so they try to do it.For the parents this kind of action is can be fix so the parents don't have to worry about their children.The only thing that parents should do is to guide their children by teaching them to give back the stolen item to the owner and try  apologize.According to Dr. Klass that "a pattern of stealing without any remorse can mark a serious problem – and that child needs help right away".This kind of act is a horrible to a child because of the reason that they may prone to become a kleptomaniac and it might be the start of taking drugs.The confusion to the parents are what should they do?When they are strict to their child they are rebelling, but when they are letting them their children may be prone to a kleptomania.This thing is very difficult to the parents to give the right moral to their children.But For me the best thing that the parents should do is to keep talking to their children so that you know the right thing that you should do to make your child a better person because the parents know's best on their child.

Blogpost 4 Impulse stealing of the kleptomaniac's

A lot of things that people can actually do, but sometimes in our mysterious life we don't know where the right path is.The desire is what makes us feel happy or we can say that help us relaxed. For other people they live because of their dreams, they became strong because of their love once. There is a time that we can say that there's no hope because of the biggest problem that we have,sometimes we say to our selves may be if I did not do that, I became this and that.But how can we change that regrets if we still don't know who we are?.There is a famous quote of Confucius that" do not do an to others what others do not do an to you" This somehow gives me an idea to not judge people like the word "sociopath" or the "psychopath" define as the person who is not acceptable by the society. In my own experience I encountered those people who are not acceptable by society. In my own experience I saw a atheistic child who is being bully because of his disease.Despite of his disease he is a talented person who want to be a model someday but other people are trying to discriminate him.For him that is the hardest problem that he had, being unacceptable to the society and being discriminated by others.

In this article that I want to share with you guys,which  can give an additional information about this topic, the article entitled “Kleptomania- A Compulsion To Steal”.By M. Williams, Ph.D.,from the site of brainphysics.com.This article talks about the behaviors of the kleptomania they impulse stealing,the treatment,essential features and the cause of it.First the behavior of kleptomaniac since I said to the third article that kleptomaniac occurs in a women rather than a men. This kind of observation is not actually proven there are also evidence that support to this statement.Like what I said in my other blogpost that kleptomaniac steal what they want not what they need.The uncontrollable stealing of kleptomaniac that from being tempted to that object leads to steal item.And in additional kleptomaniac does not steal if there is a bigger possibility that they may caught.Second is treatment some observation of the other physician that these may be a genetics that some of their patients who suffer from this kind of illness,their parents or relatives also suffering from it.But that is not the only case,there is also a treat that shows of the recent researcher’s the benefits of “cognitive-behavioral therapy”.This therapy are use to help an individual’s to inform the individuals of the bad effect of their illness.A stress stabilizer that help kleptomania to decrease they stress.The stress of kleptomaniac is came after they steal an item because of the feeling of guilt and remorse.The stress stabilizer that I’am talking about is the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).Third is the essential features of kleptomania,from the article there are three and I’am doing my best to explain to you guys.
1.   Their uncontrollable stealing of an object that is not needed
       Like what I said earlier that they steal what they want not what they need that is why they are more like different from the real thief.
2.   The higher tension that leads them to be tempted on the object
      This is the reason why they still can’t resist their intense stealing of objects.
3.   Their strong desire to steal
      This also a reason why they commit crimes


Lastly the cause of kleptomania,this gives some additional thoughts and information why most of the kleptomania is a women.In the discussion of the kleptomania in 19th and early 20th century that became part of their debate that kleptomania has a relationship with the insanity of the reproductive system of a female called “hysteria”, that is said to be the cause of the uterus.But the scientific community cannot prove that this is actually the cause.According to Freudian psychoanalytic theory that “attributed hysterical symptoms to the unconscious mind's attempt to protect the patient from psychic stress”.Somehow I can say that it is really the cause because of the word “stress” that also experience by the kleptomaniac’s.This theory might actually the right thing for me because in this theory it helps people to relieve their stress and also in their conscious of stealing objects.This thing will not only help the store’s retailer’s but also those youth is the hope of our country.


Also I want to share with you the article i read entitled "BeenCaught Stealing: A Drug That Fights Kleptomania".By MICHAEL HAEDERLE,from the site of the psmag.com.This article talk’s about the treatment that they use in kleptomania like naltrexone that is usually treatment for alcoholism and heroin addiction.There are also evidence treatment help this illness to their dopamine in their brain.The study found out that it’s the most common problem that diagnose with this illness. Stephen Correia and Thea Brennan-Krohn discovered something when they test the 10 women with their “diffusion tensor imaging”, form by the magnetic resonance in the brain.They found out that the tissue in the brain of the women in the white matter tracts is less dense to the inferior frontal lobe.This explain why most women diagnose with this illness are easily tempted to an object or they have a low percent of decision making.According to Jon Grant says that “They didn’t have enough neural pathways to keep sending an inhibitory message to the brain,” This proves to what Freudenrich said and for that matter I agree that kleptomania commonly occurs in the woman.But I want to find more information about this issues because it is not yet proven.
