<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Hi Reddit, today I fucked up.

I'm not very good at writing so sorry if it's hard to follow but here goes.

A little back story to me, I'm an apprentice earning around £600 pounds a month in networking, which, to my age is a lot. I've just turned 16 so this is a big deal for me. I had just been working in this business for a month so I got my first paycheck which I was ecstatic about, thinking about all the stuff I could buy.

Around a week or so later, whilst I was out buying new clothes and games, my colleague that I worked next to was having big financial problems, he has a family of 4, him, his wife, and two kids. Naturally, I felt bad for the guy struggling to pay for food for his kids but I'm cold hearted and not usually the one to give out money to people I've just met. But he asked me kindly if he could borrow around £120 and pay it back on the next payday, he was saying I didn't have to and don't feel pressured to, but coming from a family that had financial problems, I felt bad.

So what did I do, I went straight to the ATM, withdrew the money and gave it him thinking nothing of it. The next few weeks went smoothly, cracking jokes and having cool talks about games and networking, I was really starting to like the guy, he was a friend. But on the last week of work until payday, it all went downhill.

On the Wednesday, I said my usual farewells after work finished "see you tomorrow." But the next day, he never came. My boss pulled me into a meeting room that morning and told me the guy had done a runner with the business car. He didn't know anything about my money, which he has also ran off with.

I know it's not a lot to most of you, but to me it's my Christmas money that I was planning to buy things with. I'm too embarrassed to tell my boss or other colleagues what happened but I felt I needed to tell this dumb story somewhere.

Sorry if it was hard to follow etc.
<bot>: lent money to a colleague I just met and he ran off with it along with the company car. Gonna have to spend more money on Christmas instead of saving up for my motorbike.
