The correct answer is Adolescence-Limited delinquency.

Explanation:

Adolescence-limited delinquency refers to those individuals who exhibit frequent delinquent behavior exclusively during their teenage years.

After the teenage year's end, the individuals no longer feel compelled to elicit such anti-social behaviors and usually, they may lead functional lives without committing any crimes.

In this particular case, during her adolescent years Shara ran with a crowd that smoked pot, shoplifted and occasionally vandalized buildings, now Shara is a school teacher and has a child of her own. During her youth, Shara's behavior could best be described as: "Adolescence-Limited delinquency".
