A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone, I have a problem with school, I no most people my age hate school, I do really well there in my work, but social wise, I'm a nervous wreck. I told a stupid lie in year eight and I'm afraid it's ruined my life even though I thought it would make me fit in, since I was hanging around with the chavs and some of them used to smoke, they were the total opposite of me and to make myself fit in more I told both halves of the year the worst lies I ever could have told. First I told them I did drugs, wich beleive me I Don't. I'v never touched a ciggarett, and the thought of ever doing druggs gives me the creeps. Then I told everyone that I had, had sex, with people alot older than me, and some people I new had been arested for growing cannabis, how did I come up with that? I'v never known anyone who does druggs. Anyway now I'm constantly being called druggy, and some girls are really spieful to me, giving me nasty looks, not letting me join in conversation. I know If I told them it wasn't true they would be even nastier to me, I know I bought this on myself, but I didn't think it would have this much effect, I'm a bit of an loner, I have 1 friend, and she knows the truth, but all we talk about is how much we hate school. My parents know I hate it they just don't know why. My confidence was banished from me and I need it back, should I move school and start fresh, I have one friend who goes to alsager school, so I wouldn't be totally alone.

What do you think, please help. xxx

I have had problems like this at school. you need to come clean and tell them why you said it. if they don't understand they wont/aren't very good friends.

i wouldn't give details of the school over the internet, f the last line is what it sounds like.

everyone seems to dislike you because of the rumours you essentially spread. is it too late to come clean? would that just affect your reputation even more badly? i think moving schools is always a last resort because you can get quite stressed over it.

best of luck.

Hello. Its a shame you told lies but lots of people do that im afraid. The fact that its still affecting you at school isnt good. Cant you explain to the girls you were just saying it to try and fit in but it was all rubbish. Give it a try. As for changing schools. Yes you could do that and if things dont improve i would suggest you do. I changed my daughters school because she was having trouble. It worked and she got on alot better at her new school. All the best x
