Mrs. Morale 5,121 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) School is online because of Coronavirus. I decided that I would stay home with my parent, but then I came to realize that was a bad idea. My family is so annoying especially coming into my room, playing loud music, etc & it's just so hard to focus.ย So, I decided to tell a little white lie (?). I told my parent that it turns out some of the classes will be face-to-face & that the school recently told us that. I came to the city & all. Few hours ago my Momo called & she said the landlord (the owner of the place where I'm staying in the city) has arranged away for me to go to school because of Coronavirus. I don't know how to tell her that I'm not going to school & the only reason why wanted come to the cityย is because they were annoying tf out of me. ....I could pretend like I was going to school but instead go to my cousin's house since she live beside the school. Like when the driver drops me off I could just walk to her house. ??? Edited October 14, 2020 by fullofjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angy 5,950 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Not an answer to your problem but This is why u should be honest and just tell people to lower the volume and shut tf up, there's no need to lie m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rananicolee 10,276 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Honestly, you should have told them the truth in the beginning. When they find out you lied, itโll be worse than you telling them they need to be quiet so you can study.ย ย But you need to tell the truth.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monraine 1,610 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Do you live in the same house as your landlord? If not you can talk to himย and tell him you can get to school by yourself. I don't see why he has to know your schedule..ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalnark 989 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Do you get on well with your landlord?, cant you just tell him not to tell them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRH Ayyu 4,199 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) does your familypay your rent in the city? im getting that kind of vibe from op story. why is your mum talking to the landlord otherwise. honesty is best to be honest, but if u wanna continue the lie, say that its changes so some are online and some are face to face. Then on certain days leave the house for a few hours. try to sneak outwhen your landlord doesnt notice, that way u can confuse him working out your fake schedule, as he will think you must sometimes leave when he doesnt notice for uni. ย edit:to make the lie work you must insist on making your own way to school . it also sounds like your family is suspicious.

Mccuish 1,935 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 This little white lie is going to blow up in your face once they find out that you lied. Things will become worse once they learn you had lied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUDUCE 749 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well since you can't go back from here you can tell the truth to your landlord (it depends how your landlord is)ย is he/she the kind of person that might take your side and understand you and lie to your mom too? Or tell the truth to your mom but don't be aggressive about it, just say "sorry mom i really didn't want to lie to you but i really need a quiet place to study" "i didn't want you all at home to be quiet just for me" "i can focus better here". I mean you went to the city to not be annoyed right? To focus better, to study better, your mom should be happy that you give this importance to school XD Or you can stick to your idea to go to your cousin house, is not bad tho...

Mrs. Morale 5,121 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 @Angyย @HRH Ayyuย @monraineย @Shalnarkย @rananicolee ย Yes, I do live in same home as the landlord. He's on the second floor & I'm on first. We actually don't see each at all. I'm not really close to him. When my momย called I told I went to school yesterday. And my parents do pay for the rent. It's not just about the music but my younger brother & I share a room. So he can get bit annoying & parents don't really take my school into consideration. They know that could be having class but still pressure me to do things WHILE I'm have class even tho I told them will do it after my class. I already told that it was both online & face-to-face classes. I know am suppose to be honest but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seokii 3,424 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Oh no girlie what have you done. You should have just bought some noise-cancelling headphones in the first place haha. I mean honestly when you're in this deep, you might want to just keep up the illusion... but try to avoid telling any more lies from here on out or it's going to become complicated. Maybe talk to your cousin? If your alternative plan was to go to her house anyway then she will know about the lie anyway so I assume she's safe to talk to. See what she thinks and whether she thinks it would be best to have you come over (maybe it will be a really good place to do school work, maybe you can help her with chores or something etc) or if she thinks you should just come clean. You do have the option of keeping this up for a short while, and then telling your mom classes ended up moving online because a couple people at school were getting sick (if she thinks that's unlikely, maybe you could say that the school had a backup plan for moving online anyway so it was a quick transition. You could even throw in a little drama and say that it's frustrating that the school didn't let you know sooner that they'd be transitioning online) and then you can wrap up the act and go home. I know I just said to try to avoid telling more lies but I'm just being realistic... it's probably what I'd do. Idk. edit: Orrr maybe after a couple "classes" you can "find out" that your school is allowing online alternatives for some of their classes, and therefore you don't have to keep physically attending. But you'd still have to figure out what you're going to do for the first few "classes"... Again this is just more lies so I don't know if it's really the best solution lol Edited October 15, 2020 by seokii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felidae 2,742 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If you still want to continue your lying, @ what people above said. But sometimesย parents have that feeling when their kids are lying you know. Be careful..... I advise you to tell them the truth as soon as possible. Play your victim cards, as much as you have. I hope your family understand your explanations and try to change the environment so everyone wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freya 7,202 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Why is your landlord arranging transport? Just keep going to the city orย walk to your cousins place. If you can't get your school work done at home no matter what and they won't do anything even if you tell them, that's the best option.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deobizone 7,780 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Honestly my first thought is to keep lying but if you explain that the noise at home ws too disturbing she understand? Esp if it was disrupting or distracting from ur work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
