PapaMoti tells us more.
Thanks for all the helpful comments! As to what happened next, security was called and we ended up looking at the camera footage which proved that I didn't steal the shirt. The manager was humiliated and apologized, but either way I am not going to be shopping from that store ever again.

Never come back to this ****** up shop again. They are idiots
They can still hold you under suspicion though. And once they've looked at the security footage, you go straight over his head and lodge a complaint.
Shame is ass on social media
He must have been a pretty horrible teenager to give himself that impression.
Ugh, I can sympathize OP, I'm often misjudged because I'm a teenager. It sucks that a handful of assholes cause all teens to be seen as "full of shit".
Since you didn't say you were arrested, I assume you weren't. He owes you an apology, and if you don't get one, you should let all of your friends know what just what that store thinks of teenagers.
Usually there are security cameras. You should have told the troll to check them so she could see you walk in. But seriously, most teenagers do lie, about EVERYTHING. Just a fact
No, that is not "Just a fact." That is a stereotype, and a stupid one at that. Shame on you for having that mindset.
Your comment makes me wonder just how horrible of a teenager you were. How many times did you do something evil?
Hopefully you weren't arrested and don't have to deal with criminal charges. If it's a chain store, write a politely worded letter to the corporate office and let them know the date and time of your visit and the guy's name and the facts and circumstances surrounding the visit. Tell them you were extremely disappointed by what happened. Don't go back unless you get some kind of redress and assurances that you'll never encounter that manager again. Also, let your friends know how they treat teenaged shoppers. You'll hit them in the wallet and you might spare some of your friends the same indignity.

Come back again with your receipt purchased?
What a presumptuous prick. What, is he bitter and jealous of the younger generation? Should've brought the receipt and humiliated him.
