No matter how good your relationship with your parents is, you just can't tell them everything. And if your relationship with your parents is rocky to begin with, you sometimes end up feeling like you can't tell them anything.
From sweet and relatable to dark and unfortunate, these folks recently went online to share the secrets that they will never tell their parents as long as they live. Take it to the grave.
35. And a happy new year
34. Dad takes the fall
He knew it wasn’t him, but I also have two other brothers. For all he knew it could have been one of them. He never said anything to any of us as far as I know.
33. I hope it was a really good movie...

19. No love lost
18. Meet me new girlfriend... quickly
17. You do you
I don’t need to pull in 6 figures. I’m content with where I’m at. I live comfortably, travel 2-3 times a year, and I even just recently payed off my car.
16. She's been planning this since you were... In Utero
15. A lifetime in the closet
14. That cop must have been really bad at his job...
13. Two family secrets for the price of one
When I was in the 7th grade I started to get into adult stuff online and my favorite, for some reason, was guy-on-guy stuff even though I’m a girl. Anyways, I didn’t know how anything but YouTube worked so I ended up downloading like 3 guy videos on my phone. I had an Android so when I deleted the videos the download history was still in my phone.
For some reason my mom took my phone and went through it and sat me down and asked me about the stuff she had found on it. But for some more context I had to keep my phone in the living room at night and could only have it during the day.
Now I’m not proud of this but I’m a good liar. In this situation I didn’t have to do much lying because as soon as I started crying and saying I didn’t do it she immediately believed me and blamed it on my step-dad, saying that she had a suspicion that he was gay through their whole relationship and all that.
After that she never confronted him and just continued to stay with him even though she thought he was gay. That’s when I realized my mom was a gold digger.
12. How dare you take care of your body?!
11. Well, that was a freebie!

8. If you want a relationship with your kids...
7. Not just a theory, a real conspiracy
6. One last gift
5. Maury Povich
I’m not upset by it or super keen on finding my biological dad, as I have a dad who raised me (who also doesn’t know I did this). It was more of a curiosity thing and he wanted to know if he had another kid. I’m more curious cause I would wanna know backgrounds or if there is any illness I could be prone too.
4. The secret nap room
3. This is what happens when you do the right thing
2. Two strikes
First time was on a night out in Central London with bunch of my friends, stepped out of the club for a second to grab some cash, then bouncers refused to let me in until I got some water from the shop across the road. Did that and they refused me, told me to have more water, then still wouldn't let me in. So spent the rest of the night arguing with bouncers and getting carried out after running in whilst they were distracted.
Was adamant about getting my £10 entry fee back. Ended up having an argument with the manager until I got the money, then as I was walking away Police were blocking me. Tried pushing them out the way cos I was desperate for a kebab at that point, ended up getting taken to the station and was in a cell for a night and hit with an £80 fine.
Second time was out with my dad after going to the football game and having some drinks. Late in the night, we were in a pub with a narrow corridor at the entrance, and whilst my dad was there texting his missus, some fella bumped into him and started on him, so I waded in to break it up and the 3 of us spilled into the street.
I ended up getting cuffed in the middle of the road and carted off to the station. My old man was dragged in behind me whilst I was getting processed. Next morning a copper (who actually went to school with my dad) had to ring my grandma to pick us up. She was worried and asked them if they knew where I was, and got a bit of a shock when they said I was there as well. Luckily the incident was caught on CCTV so no fine that time.
1. Too much information
