Your parents need to hire an attorney for you, so that the least amount of damage will be done to your future. Shoplifting is a crime of moral turpitude, and even though you are a juvenile, it could have long-lasting consequences. An attorney should be able to see if you are eligible for deferred prosecution, so that the case never goes to trial.
