Personal Narrative Essay: Neglecting A Candy Bar

When I was younger, one of my friends and I, peer pressured my little sister into stealing a candy bar. She was three and we were five, and she had mentioned that she really wanted a candy bar. She had already asked our mom and she said no. The cause of this event was my little sister wanted the candy bar, but my mother wouldn’t let her have it.
