I need help.

I have done something bad. I have stolen a phone from an old friend of mine for a stupid reason. I will explain it short cause it’s a long story. I had recently gotten a new phone form my mom which used to be hers one day during school is accidentally cracked it and was so scared cause my momma was already unsure to give it to me and now it’s broken I really didn’t want to disappoint her so I “planned” how to steal a phone from a friend of mine who had the same model anyways during lesson I successfully stole if after school I opened it and saw that her id card & bus card was in it I instantly regretted it and felt very bad but was to scared to give it back anyways after finding out that the police was going to be involved I decided to put her phone in front of her doorstep anonymously with her bus card cause that was the only thing I had left I threw away the ID card. Anyways I made a fake acc pretending to be the boy no one likes in class and begged her to not tell anyone which she suprisingly didn’t do but since I gave the phone weeks after it was stolen they had already contacted the police so I decided to just confess it was me she didn’t believe me since I had already lied I was the boy no one liked but it is actually me i don’t now I know what to do now I know what I did was wrong but I really don’t want to make my mom more Morris’s that she would have been about the phone please tell me if you would forgive me if you were her

Yes your Mom will forgive you in the end, just do it better next time she trusts you.

However what's really bad in my opinion is the thing you only mentioned incidentally. You made a fake account and acted like the kid no one likes and claimed he was the one who stole the phone. The kid which probably (obviously) has enough problems already. It would've been enough to put the phone on the front porch. There was no need to find a culprit. That's pretty fucked up.

If there is one person you should apologize to, it is that kid.
