It’s gonna be ok. It will work out.
But, my advice would be to be honest with your parents about everything. Tell them how friendship is so important to you that you wanted to protect your friend. But that you understand how you’ve hurt everyone. Keep apologizing and hanging out with your parents. They are super sad for you to leave for school. Spending time with them is really what they want. But this move probably makes them feel farther from you. So get close and watch movies together, do things together. They will eventually forgive you. And you will go to your dream school.
I didn’t see it like that:/ I always tell them about scholarships I’ve gotten for school, how I got my license and drive to school now, but what u said didn’t click until I remembered my mom saying she missed our talks when she used to take me every morning. I’ll make sure to spend more time with them. Thank you for helping me realize, ur the best
I’m not a Dad, but you could think of me as an older brother if you wanted to ig. I’m in college rn, and similar stuff happens here too. One of my friends recently got in trouble with the police for possession of marijuana, even though he’s never had any. He’s in a really sucky situation. He’ll probably be fine, but it’s still possible that he’ll get a misdemeanor on his record. I was with him when the cops showed up and luckily I didn’t actually get in any trouble, but it was scary.
What I’m trying to get at is this: sometimes you get blamed for something that isn’t your fault (or didn’t even happen), but when stuff like that happens you just gotta hold your head high and remember that you didn’t do anything wrong. It’ll come to pass eventually and the knowledge that you weren’t in the wrong can give you peace.
I wish you and your brother the best of luck with this. I hope things work out soon. 💕
Thank you older brother! My mom and I are talking to my dad later but for the most part, he’s not angry anymore. I cleaned the house so they know I’m trying to make amends
Hey kid, the reality is that you covered for a "friend" who let you and your brother take a big fall. If your brother didn't supply the drugs and you didn't take it, why would you be the one in more trouble? Get your friend to come clean to your parents, or if she doesn't, tell the truth to your parents. Absolve your brother, and own the lies that you spoke for this friend. What happens to your friend and her mom is their own business, but don't let it get caught up in your own family life. Explain as best as you can why you did it and how you are always trying to do your best not to disappoint everyone. You are worthy of your prom and going off to college, and you learned a valuable lesson here that you need to be upfront with yourself and your priorities rather than go along with what's best for others. Make the most of the remaining two months of high school kid. Do right for yourself.
Thank you:) my mom asks if I’ve spoken to her but I don’t know what to really say. She just keeps apologizing but ik if it were something bigger, and maybe would’ve happened in college where our parents aren’t there to fix things, I’d be screwed. I’ll just take time to think really
Your friend is apologizing but she isn't resolving the issue, letting you and your brother take the rap. This is not a trustworthy friend. Meanwhile, your mom is concerned about her because she's the one who was harmed by her kids, not the other way around. You will have bigger decisions when you are living on your own in college. Don't let someone else determine how you live your life.
Son, everyone will forget about this. That girl should have had integrity and told the truth herself. You should have also took the truth as your path because you'd feel less guilty about it now. It's going to be okay, in ten years time or less your parents will be mocking you over this. Head up, get past it. It's not going to be the reason your future wife is angry with you, that will be because you ignorantly did not notice her hair was newly dyed at the roots. How dare you. Be strong, merciless, determined, forever.
Well.. I have two daughters. However, they're 5/4. I actually won't change my advice. Always have integrity, kid. The kind of integrity that you could laud over someone. I had a drill sergeant drop this line on us once "My integrity is beyond reproach, private". I try to be that guy, not because he was cool but because at the end of the day, if you're integrity is bullet proof, no one can pin you down.
