| Liar? - Helen B |
I lied to my parents about going to school. Ive been skipping school and you know where I usually end up? The school library either surfing the net or reading books. Now, Im afraid to tell them even my teachers. What do I do? I know the obvious answer would be to tell them but Im afraid I dont know how to start and I start cringing whenever I imagine the outcome.
Ive been skipping class since the beginning of the semester. I don’t know why but it seems to me that I have this resentment for being cooped up in a classroom with people telling me what I need to learn and do. No, Im not supposed to justify what Im doing!!!! Furthermore, Ive lied to my mother a couple of times now. Its just because Im a coward, you know. But for now, what do I do? I seriously need to take it out of my system but I need someone to listen to me and tell me what I need to do. |

Helen. Thank you for asking us to advise you. I suppose other contributors may also add their opinion here.
The long and short answer is from this quote:
"You shall know ( and tell) the truth. And the truth shall set you free".
In addition, there is a common saying that one should take the bull by the horn and face the consequences.
You need to remember that, either you tell now or not, ultimately, your actions will emerge later. It may be via your school report or via some events. Also, I am surprised that your school have not found it expedient to ask your parents of your whereabouts and why you are not attending classes. If they have not done so, the school and the school authorities may be in trouble for being so negligent.
How do you tell?
a) You can ask a friend to help you tell your parents and that you want to come clean.
b) You can tell your parents yourself. Which of your parents are more likely to be less hostile towards you? Usually the mother but if its your dad you feel comfortable with, call him aside and in a humble manner, make your feelings know to him/her.
c) You may tell via your school teacher, promising to change for the better. Do so in a humble, private environment.
d) You may write letter or email or text to your parents that you have something to tell/confess. That you want reconciliation, teaching and support from them (parents/teachers).
Why do you have to do it now than later.
a) Either way, your acts will be known
b) Its in your own benefit that you act now as you will need your parents and teachers to help build your future as well as help to address any pressing problem that you may currently have.
May I also say that, somewhat, you should prepare your minds for rebuke or warning or embrace. Whichever happens, it is for your own good.
I trust you will be bold to act and receive proper parental support.
