I just lied to my mom to get out of going to school for the first time.
I hope your joking about this, is it because you think school is not good for you?
Yes, I think it is a complete waste of time and money.
I can understand how you are feeling about school. You shouldn't lie to your mother about it though. I think she would understand more if you were to talk to her and explain what you think.
What do you think are the odds that my mom would start to agree with me and all of a sudden, become the biggest opponent to education, just because I told her this? Haha.
You still should explain your views, maybe you can reach a compromise that works for you both. Lies are harmful to a relationship.
