Should i tell my dad about the following matter or just sign the note myself?
During a test yesterday one of my friends were bothering me to show him the answers the teacher saw and hear us and stoped us from taking the test, gave us a warning, wrote a note to our parents which we gotta take back signed and she will let us retake the test but it will drop from the score.
If i show my dad the note do you think he would be mad and i could risk a punishment?
Answer:
I think you should tell your dad. Best to be honest. If you aren't it will eat away at you and you will always wonder if he may find out some how. Don't sweat the small stuff...life is too short.
Best wishes.
Better tell your dad. The consequences will be far worse if he finds out u signed in his place.
I think you should show your dad the note and let him sign it. Yes, you might get in trouble. But parents have a funny way of finding things out anyway, and when he does, you'll be in worse trouble. So go ahead and get it over with.
After reading your "additional comments", I still think you should bite the bullet and give your dad the note. Think of how worried you're going to be that he finds out. Best to be honest, that way he'll know he can trust you. Parents like signs of maturity in their children!
Yes, honesty is usually the best policy. Signing his name is wrong, and he might find out later on and be way more mad then if you just tell him now. Maybe tell him your story, how it was a friend bothering you. And tell him it wont happen again. :)
i think you should inform your dad and he should beat you on your bum bum because you have been a naughty girl
Well, think about how pissed your dad will be when he finds out that you forged his signature?
Tell the truth. You say he was the one cheating, not you, so tell dad. Forgery would only make matters worse!
Sign it yourself. But if you do it make sure your buddy does the same so his parents don't call yours.
Show him and make sure you say " I just want to be honest and not hide this from you" I'm a Mom and that would work with me. Good Luck
i would show your dad the note and exsplain what happen as to your friend bothering you during the test, if you sign that note yourself you could be in more trouble than you are now
Well, I don't know if it's right to suggest not to tell him but I've done it because I was so afraid of my dad. I think whatever will give you more peace, if he's an understanding person and nice and all, it should be ok, especially if you tell him what happened- it wasn't like you were trying to cheat. But if he's the kind to yell or hit or punish you, I wouldn't because you know you weren't being dishonest, you don't need him to tell you that, you know it.
Although it is tough and easier said than done, you have got to do the right thing by telling it to ur dad. The matter will only get worse and could get blown out of proportion when he himself comes to know about it. So take a bold decision and inform it to your dad
no its bad.
yes you should tell him whats gonna happen if the school rings your dad if they are suspicious about the signature then your in deep trouble honest is best
If your not honest with your parents then you will not get far in life you dont tell him about this you wont tell him about anything then it leads to a bad relationship with your parents just me i know the more you tell the less they ask.
p.s Im writing this on my moms im 16 and i tell my mom almost everything and we have the best relationship trust me.
your still young and obviously you have to learn the hard way. If you got in trouble before you should have done nothing during the test but take it. Don't let other people influence you. Be responsible for yourself. Take the not to your dad and just take the heat. He may be mad but try to explain what happened. Don't sign it because if your teacher follows up with a phone call to your dad the whole situation will be new to him and then you'll be in even more trouble for lying and not telling him. "Do The Right Thing"
You should definitly tell your dad. You weren't cheating were you? You hadn't gotten to that point right? Every once in a while a parent has it wrong about when their child is lying or telling the truth, but most of the time we have it dead on - it comes from years of watching you develop the - um - skill. You won't be able to hide it from him anyway because eventually you'll get a zero on the test if you don't - parents have a way of finding out about these things. If you are being honest, he should be able to tell and I don't see any reason why a normal parent would be angry. If, however, you have a history of deceit, it may be more difficult for him to believe you. If you are trying to rebuild his trust in you, you will need to be patient. Expect that he will have difficulty believing you at first. If you have destroyed his trust with a habit of lying in the past, it may be quite a bit frustrating to get him to trust you again, but it is a consequence of previous actions.
You WILL get through it though... remember all the other times when you were scared to talk to him... or of how he would react to what you had to say? You made it through those times didn't you? Giving someone you respect bad news is always difficult. You don't want to disappoint them. But remember, his opinion of you was not made by a single event, and this single event will not drastically change it one way or another. You will make it through this too... and you will be fine.
One other piece of advice, don't even think about playing the, "I admitted it to you honestly, didn't I?" card. Since your teacher told you you had to get the paper signed, he won't see it the same way and it might hurt your credibility.
You cheated once in the past. You absolutely have to show your dad the note now so that he can see that it is still a problem - because cheating still is a problem. Your 'friend' (he doesn't sound like a good friend if he is getting you in this kind of trouble) still thinks you can be approached to cheat. There's a reason why he asks you to cheat and doesn't ask another student. Your attitude about cheating has not noticeably changed - other people still perceive that you will cheat.
So why shouldn't your father also have that attitude when you give him this note from the teacher? Just do it and get it over with and make a resolve not to be a source for cheating in the future. You think you dad could get mad and punish you? Learn to get a look at the bigger picture - you're trying to add more lying and more cheating to the situation by forging his signature and keeping important information from him that comes from your teacher. If and when he does find out about the note, you'll be in triple the trouble and someone who is important in your life won't trust you (that someone is your father, not your so-called friend.)
If you've never lied to him before then he should have no reason to doubt you now. If you don't show him the letter he may think that you hid it because you were guilty. I would show it to him in good faith and see what happens.
yeah you should tell your daddy because you don't know if the teacher already told him and he testin' you to see if you going to be mature enough to just tell him trust it happened to me before but I told him
You should tell him now. If you sign the note that adds another problem to the first one as he will be mad you did that if he finds out and he could!!
Explain the situation to you dad... If your adfraid he wont listen wwrite it to him in a letter and give it to him... if you lie and he finds out he wont trust you next time something happens and it could be more serious next time.
yup, show him the note. i have been on both sides of this one. did the wrong thing, mom and dad found out, i got in deeper trouble, and they trusted me less,after that, than if i had just told em what happened.my poor dad thought he had failed to teach me right from wrong.he was devastated at the thought, that he had been so negligent in his responsibilites. but the truth was, i did know right from wrong, i was just scared, i would get in trouble. even if your as innocent as you say,he may not believe you.this could hurt a little, but you have to understand that, he has to make a tough decision. on the one hand, he thinks "OH MY GOD, IF SHE IS TELLING ME THE TRUTH,AND I DONT BELIEVE HER,SHE MAY NOT LOVE ME ANYMORE"!! "AND WORSE YET, DEAR GOD, SHE MAY THINK I DONT LOVE HER"!?! on the other hand, he thinks, if she IS being less than honest, and i let her get away with it,she may start to think that, this is the easy and best way to go through life,and "I AS A FATHER, HAVE CHEATED HER OUT OF HER POTENTIAL TOO BE AN HONEST PERSON"! "HER LIFE COULD BE RUINED BECAUSE OF MY SELFISH NEED TO BE SO UNDERSTANDING"!! he may err on the side of caution, and you COULD be punished unfairly. it may surprise you to learn that, SOME 14 yr. olds put their trusting and loveing fathers through this type of GUT TWISTING decision on a regular basis. now is the time to tell the truth to yourself and your dad. you will live through it,and become a better person for having lived through it. WHAT DOES NOT KILL US MAKES US STRONGER punishments will come and go, if your dad is anything like me, there is NOTHING he loves more than his 14 yr. old daughter, and he only wants whats BEST for you. so give him a break, show him the the note.
tell your dad, he might actually apprieciate you talking to him. explain the situation to him! dont sign the note yourself!
I would explain to your parents what was going on. You may have punishment waiting for you at the end but thats the right thing to do. You shouldnt hide it it may come up later and you dont want to be in more trouble if they didnt know about it.
Also, next time a friend tries to bug you ignore him/her dont go down with them.
You are a child, don't be scared of your punishment take it like a man. Tell your dad your sorry and go on. The next time you take a test ask the teacher to move you by yourself so it won't happen again.
just go n tell ur dad zat u hav made a silly mistake n tell him zat ur friends were bothering u zats y u show them ur copy. ok take a deep breath n show him the note, if he knows this by an another person he will be more angry wiz u. just take my advice n show him the note. best of luck, flore.
You are a little screwed either way. So you have to think about who your dad is. Can he handle an honest bit of information, or willhe make a big deal of it?
You knoe, honesty really is the best policy. You should tell him. He may get angry at first, even disapline you, but in the end, he will respect your honesty and be very proud of that. That alone will likely go far the next time the is a similar situation.
Nip it, tell your dad before anyone else does, it will make it better for you.
show your dad!!
