Q: All my friends are lying to their parents and sneaking out. I don't want
to, but I also don’t want to not have my friends. What should I do? Just
go along with them?
Not a Liar
Grade
A:
Dear N.A.L.,
I have to admit that I first read your question and thought to myself: Hmmm. What should I tell her to do?
And then I reread your email and you know what? You gave yourself the answer and didn’t even need my assistance!
Your answer? In your second sentence: I don't want to.
I agree that it is so difficult to be the odd one out in situations like this. I’ve been there and, in fact, spent a lot of my high school years lying to my FRIENDS (shhh!) about not being allowed to do things I simply was not ready to do yet. I blamed my parents for not letting me go and no one was the wiser. I’m not suggestion you try this, N.A.L., but it’s what worked for Miss Info.
I recommend that you listen to your gut and do what you feel is right. I think you might be surprised, if you speak up and say you aren’t going to sneak out, that a few other people might chime in right along with you.
Regardless, you’ve stayed true to the one person who really matters: YOURSELF.

Too fast my head hurts?
