How do you tell your parents they hurt you?
If your parents have hurt your feelings, you should simply tell them, politely, that they hurt your feelings. On the other hand, if you did, in fact, go to an old friend’s house who was a pot smoker, even if you were trying to do something nice for a friend, you might try to look at it from their perspective.
What do you say when you get caught doing something wrong?
Don’t feel like you need to go into detail about it. Just stay calm, and speak matter-of-factly about the situation. Your reaction to being caught may have an impact on your punishment; you don’t want to make things worse. Don’t try and justify your actions. Say, “I know what I did was wrong, and I’m sorry.”
What should I do if I get caught doing something against the law?
If you were caught doing something against the law, it’s best to involve your parents instead of trying to handle the situation by yourself. If you were caught by a police officer or another authority, call your parents right away. If you were caught at school, it’s also important to involve your parents immediately.
What should I do if I get caught making a mistake?
If you know you’ve made a mistake and you’ve been caught, the best course of action is often to just admit it. Don’t feel like you need to go into detail about it. Just stay calm, and speak matter-of-factly about the situation.
Is it possible that no one but you know what went wrong?
There is a chance that no one but you knows what went wrong, but if you react to the mistake then everyone will know. Pretend instead that it was all part of the plan. For example, if your parents accuse you of staying out past curfew, act like you didn’t realize it had gotten so late.
