I once in ninth grade was throwing away my trash after lunch and accidentally yeeted the entire lunch tray into the garbage silverware and all. I pretended it didn't happen and walked away. It haunts me to this day.
Why did you pretend you didn't throw everything away?
Because at the time I didn't think anyone saw me.
No one expects kids to be perfect. Its okay to make a mistake when you're young. Use that opportunity to grow and move on.
It is just some cheap silverware. Why make a big deal about it?
Making a mistake isn't the issue. Everyone, especially kids, makes mistakes. The issue is you not owning up to the mistake and doing what you can to rectify it.
