Perfect timing right b4 report cards come out

The fact that lots of us have to come here for answers shows that we have toxic parents. Due to the fact that we cant just naturally turn to them and theyll be forgiving.

I just wanna die so I don’t have to tell them about my missing work.

I have terrible grades... 😐 So like my mom texted me a whole long paragraph explaining that I’m gonna wake up at 8:00 and do my work and end at 3:00. She said she’s gonna take my phone away... so uh, I’ll keep y’all updated. 🥺. ~ • Edit 1: Okay so I just texted her explaining why my grades are like that in a really long paragraph. ~ • Edit 2: So she cane home and she was acting really nice to me by like calling my sweetie and other names, I explained to her that like I’m trying I just don’t understand and she said like “okay, but please try harder, your brother will check your work everyday to make sure you did it”. Also, I have an A in math now! I went from a C to an A in like 1 day!!! :)

I like how instead of people telling their parents they tell the comments 😂😆😀

[indistinctive]

Just cry and make a heartfelt speech about how your such a screw up and that your a failure and if they don’t reassure you they are not doing their job

[ash]

Gonna tell my mom bad news tommorow. I know she'll ground me for it, for a very long time
Edit: Actually i'm gonna tell her while texting one day soon. Please, please, Please, pray for me!!!

Who else broke their computer screen, but needs it for online classes now that coronavirus shut down school?

[ekali]

Skipped Science for 18 days and the school sent my mother the days I went to that class, which was once. I am literally doomed, I am terrified for when my school ends, she’s going to confront me about it, but if I’m unlucky, my father will. I am super dead by the end of today

[theuglybeing]

I have a history of breaking things so I will get more in trouble every time I do so

[THTWMGUY]

I swear, every time that I’m thinking of something, you make a video on it lol! Another great vid, can’t wait to see that 1 Million!

[GhostOfKotori]

I once failed a school year and I turned to my older cousin for advice. Best advice I've gotten in my life 😂😂

[AdexyAI]

How do I tell them that I got caught driving without a licence and tomorrow is the day I have to go to court.

[ghost-bryr]

I just broke my phone. Theres a literal dent in it and it's like when the tv doesn't work it shows those pixel things

Edit: My birthday is in 6 days. If I tell them and they do get upset i won't even get the birthday I've been waiting for

[camdensparks]

I ate my dad's cookies like hours ago now he wants to know where they are

[lovely_bohnes]

Thank you so much!!! You gave me the courage to tell my mom something I've kept secret for 2 and half years!! I was crying while explaining the situation to her. And you were right, she wasn't upset or angry at all. She was sad and worried for me because I was dealing with this stressful situation! She was understanding and comforted me immediately!! I told her first because she's the understanding one. She said we'll work to find a solution and kept trying to comfort me and calm me down so I would stop crying. Thank you, for lending me the strength to speak up!!!😊😊

i did something bad (like illegal bad) and i feel guilty and i wanna tell my mom about it but i know she’ll be super disappointed and won’t trust me because i’m a pretty innocent kid and i’ve never done anything as bad as this before. i’ve been wanting to tell my mom for months but i’ve been too scared to tell her.
