Children are the parents' pride and joy. And we love our parents. Whenever we have difficulties or troubles, they are the people we turn to. They offer us everything — life, love, courage and support. In return, we not only try our best to love and respect them, but also want them to take part in our lives.
However, that doesn't mean that we are going to share every moment with them. It is normal to have some things you don't want them to know or something that you think is better to be kept secret from them.
Here are some netizens' secrets hidden from their parents:
"My parents always told me not to fall in love in high school, otherwise I would fail in my studies. But now I'm dating a guy and I have no idea if I should tell them the truth."
"They are concerned about my studies and also afraid that I am being picked on in a puppy love. Yet I know they love me so much, but I don't want them to worry about me. So keeping this secret might be the best way."
"Last year, I was fired several times. The real world is not easy, and it took a long time for me to find another job that I really loved. During that time, I was penniless for months. However, whenever my parents asked me if everything was ok, I told a lie. I should have been strong enough to make them not worry about me, I endured a frustrating time."
"My parents spent thousands on my college education. They paid for where I wanted to live, to travel and even gave extra money for my leisure activities. However, I am not doing well in school and failed my classes last semester."
