    Re: Lies you have told your parents
    I stayed at a boyfriend's but said I was staying at a friend's.
    Meeting with with guys, but saying I was meeting up with a friend. (When I was 15/16)
    I don't have a boyfriend. (When I was 16)
    I'm doing work/revision... (Ha no chance)
    It was *insert my brother's name here*
    It's not my fault I have detention... This happened...
    I don't have any lessons today.
    No, I didn't drink much last night. Yes, it will be safe for me to drive today.
    I don't feel well, I need a day off school.

    The list is endless. But nothing big.

    That I got 1st class for all my Uni exams in January, they would go mental if I got anything less & their pessimism would end up affecting me in the future.

    "We don't have school today, it's teacher training day"
    I told my parents i was popping to the shops and ended up driving to Wales with friends. I've also lied to my parents many times to help support the endless lies my siblings told.

    I told my mum I'm still 19yrs old to avoid 'The Talk'
    Spoiler:
    Show
    The Talk involves my mum telling me i'm getting old, i should think about settling down and getting married
    She believed me. I'm 22 ffs!!

    Nothing really major, just the usual when I was younger, saying I was going to stay at a friends house but actually going to a party/staying over at a boyfriends house. Saying I didn't drink. The first time I got drunk I ended up being violently sick and she had to come get me...I lied saying I'd been spiked etc...

    There is neither enough time nor character space to adequately list even a modest selection of my parental fibs.

    Re: Lies you have told your parents
    I really don't lie to my mum at all, we're extremely honest with each other. There's times when I've done something and I just won't mention if unless she asks, but that's not lying!

    Only time I've tried to lie recently is when I told her I lost my wallet rather than saying I was robbed because I know she gets worried easily. She figured it out in the end though anyway.

    "I'm not drunk I just feel a bit ill" then fell over, crawled to my room and woke up in a pile of my own sick with my mother shouting at me.

    "No no they're glucosamine and chronadine, I got a free sample off the internet" for some amphetamines in my school bag

    "I was at Liams, hanging out watching films" I was getting high as a ****ing kite in his hot tub

    "Too much beer, going to bed" bad acid trip wearing off, going to silently cry under my duvet

    "No I fell asleep round Dans, we were watching something (i can't remember now), on my way home" I was at a girls and fell asleep after getting some, I was 14, no wait, 15? Not sure.

    I'm pretty honest, except for with sex and drinking when I was younger, and drugs in general. Oh and smoking when I was younger. My mum would only worry if she knew half of what I got up to, especially in my teenage experimentation years, my dad gets that guys experiment with drugs and drinking etc. and doesn't mention it to my mum.
