I feel so guilty. Should I tell my parents that I drank and drove?
I'm 16 years old. Tonight I did something I shouldn't have...I had a beer and two Jell-O shots at my friend's house and then I drove home. I endangered myself and everyone around me. What I did was beyond stupid. Now that I think about it I am starting to feel guilty. When my parents bought me a car I agreed to never drink and drive. Should I tell my parents and just accept whatever punishment they dole out. I have always been honest with my. Parents and I don't want to start lying to them.
Feel guilty about lying to my parents about party?
Yesterday I went to a party where minors were drinking alcohol and smoking weed. My friend drove us home (she was not under the influence) and we got pulled over by the police. In my state if you have only had your license for 1 year or less you can't drive other kids so all our parents go called and we were picked up. i just feel guilty because i lied to my mom and said I didn't drink any alcohol. i really did. i kinda gave her 1/2 the story and didn't mention the party too much, just saying we were going to dennys after. will this come back to haunt me? how can i not feel guilty? my mom would be very disappointed in me.
I feel so guilty for drinking and driving?
(Alright this is going to be long, I apologize early) Moving on... When I was in my senior year of high school I went to party, with some so called "friends". I was the driver. Prior to this "moment" I did not know the consequenses of drinking and driving. I thought that If I can drive fine ill be alright and underage drinking was illegal so drinking and driving would be the same. So anyways at the party I drank a half a cup of beer, also some guys at the party gave me a couple of shots. So I had a little exposure to alchol, once they realized I was the driver they told me not to drink I kind of resisted but then I said whatever at the end. This so called "friend" said hed drive and said I can drink as much as I want.( I later realized he drank a little to) With that being said I approximately had 5-8 beers. Anyways the party eventually got shut down. So this "friend" drove my car and he tried to leave the other friends behind with me, his intentions were bad he was trying to drop himself of first and leave us. So the other friends yelled at him and made him drop them of, then he drove and then he went to his house and told me to drive and he said if your fine try driving yourself home. Because I was not in the right state to think and I did not want to be in trouble I went ahead and did so. Luckily Nothing happened at all and we were all safe. However the word did spread and people gave me a lot of crap for that. I felt so guilty for doing what I had did.
Feel guilty to lying to parents about party?
girl if they dont know then dont tell them. if your not in trouble, then dont get you self into sh*t that you are better off out of. if she knows then dont lie. but if she doesnt, then why make her sad why make her question her trust in you. she knows you did wrong and with waht she knows doesnt bother her that much dont make it bother her. your ok and that is all that matters. it doesnt matter what you did as long as you are ok and know better next time. your a kid have fun. but be careful. dont be careless and crazy. and make sure that you are safe and let your parents know that you are safe. i am all down for not wanting to lie to you parents, but what they dont know wont hurt them. just dont do it again and get caught
Got drunk last night and my parents caught me?
"Banshee Lingers" is right. Why the thumbs down? In addition to your parents trusting you more, they may be more lenient on you because you were honest. My parents were that way. And never, EVER drive drunk again. There is no excuse for that and you deserve whatever you get. Let's say you got in a wreck and killed someone just because you didn't want to get in trouble. How would that make you feel? How would their family feel? What if it was just a little baby? You would never live that down! You didn't just disobey your parents, you put people's lives at risk, including your own. The fact that you did that just shows you aren't mature and responsible enough to drink. I'm not trying to scold you. I am stating fact. As an adult, I realize this is true and so should you. If you want your parents to relax on the rules, you have to show them that you are responsible enough to handle the freedom. Your safety is your parent's biggest concern and you could've DIED. I am amazed at how many teenagers and young adults don't realize this, or just don't care. My father and maternal grandmother were severe alcoholics, so my mom was afraid and I was forbidden to drink. Of course, it was illegal too, but my mom was especially against it. I stayed the night at a friend's house, so that I could go to a kegger one night and it ended up snowing and everyone was still too drunk to drive. So I called Mom and told her my situation rather than riding with someone drunk or hung over on an icy road. I did the right thing, and that is what adults are supposed to do. My friend left for home, but I didn't go because she wasn't sober yet. You can't always trust your friends, especially with alcohol involved, so you need to watch out for yourself and be prepared to own up to your mistakes. Welcome to adulthood! If you want to be treated like an adult, you have to earn it. With that said, I don't see any reason to tell them that you drove, unless they ask. Parents want to know when you do something wrong, so that they can teach you a lesson. We don't like our kids to get in trouble. In fact, we loathe it, but children don't learn their lesson unless they suffer consequences and/or we have a chance to explain to them why something is wrong. Please don't drive drunk again. It is so incredibly dangerous, and you aren't just taking a chance on yourself.
What did your parents do when they caught you smoking weed?
Haha okay this still makes me laugh!I'd been smoking weed since I was around 11. I was about 13 and while I was looking for sand paper for a school project, I stumbled across a random seemingly empty coffee can. Curious, I peaked inside and found a rolled up sandwhich bag with green stuff in it. I unrolled it to check out it's contents and found an 8th of weed! I was so excited because at the time I didn't have any. So I dipped in and took a good size nug and put it back before I got caught!!I continued to randomly take some here and there. Making sure I didn't take a noticeable amount, and rolled it up how I thought it was. I did this for a few months, thinking how sneaky and awesome it was…Well one day I ran out so I want into the garage as usual to dip into my parents stash can. But this time, the lid had in black bold sharpie: “Gotcha!!!” and the coffee can was completely empty. I was so scared, I want out the side door and went for a very long walk to think of what excuses I could give them. Nothing was really going to work. So I get back home an hour or 2 later, hoping things would just be left unsaid. NOPE. Haha they were in the living room waiting. My heart was racing, my mind about to explode thinking of my punishment. Starting blushing and sweating. Finally after what seemed like hours of silent parents staring me down, they finally said:“we always roll the bag up differently everyday so we figured you were taking some when the roll wasn't right… you need to ASK us next time. Can't stop you obviously from smoking, so instead of STEALING it from us just ask please.”I sighed a huge breath of relief. “Yes! I'm off the hook!” I thought.“Oh Megann, by the way, your also grounded for 3 months… “Damn… haha almost! They couldn't have been more mellow and nice about it. Surprised the hell out of me that's for sure! They could've done locked me up and thrown away the key for WAY longer then what I got, so that was pretty cool.The same scenario played out almost exactly the same when I got caught stealing their cigarettes too. Haha after I got a job at 16 my mom agreed to just buy me my own pack as long as I payed for them myself.
I lied to my mom. feeling guilty?
ok this is what happened, my mom and I have a really good relationship and I usually tell my mom everything. well, not everything with details but I do tell her pretty much everuthong that happens in my life. I dont ever feel like I have to lie to her. today all my friends decided to go clubbing and I felt like I should drive. (I live with my parents, I am 18 years old, I go to 21 years old clubs, yes I have a fake) my parents arent strict or anything like that but they dont like it when I drive to clubs because I drink sometimes and Its dangerous(I know) but I do know how to control myself. anyways, my mom asked me if how I was getting to the club in Miami which is 50 min away. I told her my friend was driving but I was dropping my car off at her house. not true, I drove all the way to miami and partied my *** off and got home really late. when I got home I felt so bad because I lied to her. just imagine if something happened to me driving and my mom would have never known. I dont like to put myself in that position of what if. anyways, I feel so bad and I dont like this feeling. is it guilt? how can I make it stop?
I feel like my mom hates me because of her drinking?
My mom has a drinking problem, and ever since my older siblings (the oldest, my sister being her favorite) moved out, it's gotten so much worse. My dad is always gone at work or asleep, and my mom stays up all night drinking and then sleeps until four in the afternoon the next day. My whole family is falling apart, and I used to be so close with them. All my uncles have gotten into drugs and it's hard to lose everyone like I am right now to addictions. I tried to confront her about it, and now I feel like she hates me. Shes always comparing me to my skinny and beautiful sister, and she says I have manly arms and says I am chubby like her when she was younger. I used to self harm, and I struggle with an eating disorder because of her. She lashes out on me at night and my dad is never here to see or help, and I can never talk to him about it. My family is torn apart, and I miss how it used to be. My mom spends all the money on alcohol, then complains about money issues. Once, she even drove down to our towns store, which is a block away, drunk. I don't know what to do, because when I confront her or my dad, I get blamed. I'm sixteen and I just want my parents to stop fighting and to be able to be happy with my family again.
