school help: I have a problem, which i thought you might be able to help me with. - Help.com

I have a problem, which i thought you might be able to help me with.

you might think this is stupid, but for my standards, this is one of the worst situations ive ever been in. it involves school. about 3 weeks ago i handed in a term paper, which got an amazing grade. when he returned it with a grade, my teacher commented “Now that i know you can produce such quality work as this, i really expect you to ace every test”. today i took the first large test since then. 3 days ago, i lost my notes, so i wasnt able to study for the test. this morning, i saw my friend reading an amazing answer type sheet, which was a great study key. i borrowed it, and studied as much as i could. during the test, i forgot what one of the words was, so i took it out to read it over. my teacher saw this, and told me my test would be valid, he would determine over the weekend whether to call my parents or not. oh, by the way, my parents are extremely strict about school. if i get under a 90 on any test, i get yelled at a lot. so, the question is: should i tell my parents immediately, or should i wait to see if my professor does? also, the moral effect– i feel like crap, because i have never done anything like this before. the worst part is that i feel like a monster, because this whole situation was nobody’s fault but mine. i am being weighed down by the guilt. i cant smile, i cant laugh. i am only able to mope around the house, feeling sad and sorry and angry at myself. i feel like just dropping dead, like its over for me. i want to break into tears every waking moment- but i dont, because then i will be forced to reveal my devastating secret to my parents– who will be angry and sad and embarrased and destroyed– the ones who raised me to be a good person just like them…

i think that the best thing you could do is tell your parents and explain to them why you did it

i dont think its stupid, its obviously got you well stressed out, but you need to know that your parents are only worried about your scores because they obviously want you to do well in life after school, and its a lot easier with a good job and qualifications,

but they must love you to do that and are not going to want you to be stressed out to the point you are now, so tell them, and explain how your feeling, in the grand scope of things its not an evil thing you’ve done, when you look back on your life in years to come, you probably wont even remember this incident, and if you do your bound to have a good laugh about how worked up you got,

they might not be happy initialy, but thats short term, let it blow over, long term its not going to change your life, only you have the power to do that ;) good luck

Be honest with your parents tell them and you will be more happy with thing It is much better if it came from you than from some one else. Your parents might not be happy for what you have done but they will forgive you because they love you I do hope all will be right for you LOT’S OF LUCK

the first thing is to keep cool of this situation. if u feel like breaking in to tears, find a quiet place and let it go. its no good to keep your feelings take advantage of you. be honest to your parents. if you feel shy to tell your parents, tell your closest relative maybe they can help. but keep in mind….even if your parents know about this and they are angry at you,they are not doing it in purpose…. they are doing it because they love and care about you.
