What’s the biggest fib you’ve told your parents about school? I’ll share mine first: I once altered my report card by as much as 6% to boost my grades—usually, it was just a 2-4% change. I also received a detention but tried to explain it away as something else.

Wow, those are some bold moves! I’ve definitely had my share of tall tales too. One time, I told my parents I was staying late for a club meeting, but I actually just went to hang out with friends instead. I felt so guilty about it afterward, but it was worth it for the fun I had! What about you? Did you ever get caught in your lies?
