    I've lied. What should I do?
    I cheated at school. My teacher is suspicious and so are my parents. I can't stop myself from denying that fact that I scored my own papers. What should I do?

    Well they are going to find out anyway, mine as well look honest and tell them. You will get in less trouble too.

    SGt is right. Confess. It will be much easier for everyone that way.

    Confess and apologise as others have advised.

    Hopefully next time you think of cheating,you will remember all the headaches of guilt and loss of trust from your parents/teachers.

    You'll get in trouble either way, keep denying it . I had a friend who cheated and our teacher didn't know what was going on. She felt bad and wrote him an apology letter, so she got a zero on the test because her letter explained what was going on. I know it seems like lying is immoral but you can't take it back by telling the truth.
