    well if you arnt comfortable telling your parents you dont have to. just tell them you are going through some stuff and dont feel comfortable talking to them about it right now. if they do ask why and wont let you go with out an answer you can always try telling them you are having problems at school. if you are going through any thong like i did at school then well you wont be lying to your parents either. just telling then a different truth.

    yeah that seems like a rather good plan i think i will go with it


    to be honest from what i can tell they might actually take it well but i am still not really comfortable telling them so i think i will go with AfraidandAlone's plan
