i just dont know what to do!
im lost and upset..

And rightly so. I mean: if you found out a friend of yours lied to you, you'd still care about her and want to be her friend (depending on what she lied to you about, I suppose), but you'd probably find yourself hesitating to believe her again when similar situations came up. She'd have to do something to regain your trust. And depending on the nature and size of the lie, she might have to do a LOT to regain your trust!
Show your parents they can trust you. Be the kind of daughter and person you yourself would trust. Let them see that you have it in you to be responsible and that you understand the value of honesty and integrity. Let them see that you appreciate their trust and respect and that the idea of losing either is worth the sacrifice of having to fess up from now on.
And yeah, maybe they'll get suspicious at the sudden turn around in your behavior, but if they can compare two lies to a mountain of mature, loving, respectful behavior, then hopefully they'll see that the lies were the exception to the rule when it comes to who you are, and not the norm.

You say you dont want people to tell you to just tell them the truth, but telling your parents the truth can help things. Did you have sex or something? You wont keep on lying more and more because you learned that from lying this time and how awful it made you feel. Just relax, maybe the time will come when you do feel you should tell them the truth about whatever you did. Good Luck hun.

good luck

I try hard not to lie but i do it to save my butt. coming clean always seems to help me. i'll lie at first but the only way that i can lift the lying burden off my shoulders is to tell them. I hope that this helps, every one lies once in a while so dont be hatin, u'll come through
