I would guess that many teenagers out there have fudged about their age for one reason or another.
But we all recognize that feeling when we’re in over our heads and we’re not sure how to get out of a bad situation.
Check out the details here for yourself.
I lied about my age and now Im way past the point of no return.
So for a little bit of background, I am a 15 yo who is currently attending a high school in what we’ll call country A. My friend who we’ll call “George” is in country B and is 17, turning 18.
This all started around a year ago, I joined a Minecraft server for people of ages 16+.
I knew from the beginning that this was wring but I was bored enough at the time and didn’t think it would start anything. If anyone go suspicious I would simply detach myself and leave.
Of course, that’s not how things worked out.
This was working fine and what I planned to be a temporary thing quickly became my everyday life. I would continue to play more and more everyday, making new friends and moving about this server.
That was until I found another friend group.
I bonded with 1 person in this group really well. Many people evn thought we were dating at the time (Keep in mind they thought I was 16 and he was 17.)
Now she wants to meet him, but she doesn’t know how to come clean.
Time skip forward we got closer and are now very good friends. Even to the point where we started (fake??) flirting.
I have had a birthday since and now all my online friends think I am 17, while he is 17 turning 18.
Over time I have 100% fallen for him as he has with me and yesterday, he asked me if we wanted to be offical. I, stupidly, said yes.
While I love him dearly I know how wrong this really is. I don’t know what I’m meant to do from here on. I can’t just leave now that we have a real connection and I feel like coming clean could ruin everything.
What should I do?
There’s only one right answer here.
Let’s find out if Reddit gave her good advice.
This person gave a reality check.

But this commenter says it’s not that big a deal.

And this person agrees.

It’s alway a good time for sarcasm.

They speak from experience.

She can still fix this.
Even if it’s not easy.
