I want to go to Confession so badly. I just want to feel more clean and worthy of God, but I don't know how I can go. I'm Catholic and so is my family, I'm a very strict Catholic but not to a huge level. The only time I EVER go to Confession is when my school goes. My school is a Catholic School so we go like once every school year. I would feel embarassed to go up to my mom and just say "Can we go to Confession?". I don't know why. I'm not embarassed about my faith at all, in fact I'm proud. In fact I'd love to just wear a necklace with a cross to advertise my faith in school because my friends aren't very faithful. Or at least they don't act like they care about God which bothers me SO MUCH! And then one of them just says "Since when do you care about giving things up for Lent?" I'VE ALWAYS CARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT JUST GETS ME SO MAD I'M SORRY. Anyways, how do I go to Confession without asking my parents? Is there something I could do? I want to go to one Priest in particular. How can I do that?
Thanks. (link)

You don't have to go to a priest to confess. A priest can of course listen, and talking things out can temporarily make you feel better, but it sounds to me like you're looking for something deeper. It sounds like you want to be washed clean completely.
What you need to do to feel clean and worthy of God is to cry out directly to God. Confess your sins in a heartfelt prayer. The Bible says in Psalm 32:5 (David is praying to God) "So I confessed my sins and told them all to you. I said, 'I'll tell the LORD each one of my sins.' Then you forgave me and took away my guilt." (CEV)
Jesus died for you so you can have access to the Father directly. If you believe Jesus died for your sins, you have just as much access to God as a priest does. Do you believe Jesus died for your sins? If so, give them to Him.
