excuse to avoid embarressment


Question Posted Sunday October 1 2006, 2:47 pm

ok i lied to my teacher! we were supposed to give in a homework, and i was like "my printer cashed so i sent it to your email!" and she was like "stephany, i checked my email this morning there was nothing from you!" so i panicked and said "ehh.. well i sent it to you just right now, during lunch, from the library!" (i knoww, wrong! but i got scared!) and then during the lesson she was like "everyone who forgot the homework will have to send it to me through email at by the latest tonight..otherwise it will be marked late!" now its been two days since that.. so obviously im not gonna get a full grade for it, because it was late.. but i still need an excuse to avoid being embarressed when she tells me "howcome it wasn't in my inbox when you prmoised me you had sent it?" (she'll probably ask infront of the whole class, that will be so embarrising!) so what do i say? do i just lie? say "but i sent it to you!" ?

heelp me please!

Well, if you don't feel like doing the homework, no ones going to talk you into it.
So just lie again.
It's very wrong but it's not a big deal.
It's just one homework assignment.
Tell your teacher that the server couldnt connect or some internet error bullshit.

Just be like "Well maybe it just didnt send the email". Because a lot of times, emails dont send for whatever reasons. I know thats lying again, but you still want SOME credit for the assignment you know? If you tell her..she might just give you a zero.

But next time just tell the truth, because if not..you'll have to keep lying to cover up.

Hopefully this helps.

Well here is a lesson learned, first of all. Don't lie to your teachers! Especially if it's something that can really catch you for!

But sometimes whenever I try to email people, it either didn't send properlly or the internet's not working very good so just tell her it must've not sent all the way and maybe your interent wasn't working whenever you sent it in.

Then just type it up to her and send it to her with the date of two days ago so it looked like you had just opened up a word document and copied and pasted it in there or something, possbily.

So whenever she asks you, just be like,"I'm not sure, maybe my internet was acting up again. Sometimes the page doesn't fully load and it won't tell me if it sent or not. But I did send it to you, I know I won't get full credit, but can I send it again?"

And trust me, it shouldn't be THAT embarassing. Kids try to lie their way out of doing homework all teh time, so if you get caught in the act I'm sure they'll understand. I mean a few kids might chuckle, but most'll forget about it the next period.

I hope I helped.

oh maaann... next time, don't lie!
you could stick to your story and depending on what email service you use, you could pull it off. my school has gaggle and that acts up all the time so thats an easy one but for yahoo you could just say that it was an attatchment and that it just wouldnt go because of your virus firewall program. I'd send her an email with the assignment as a WORD file attachment like "dear whoever, here is my assignement. i realize it is late but when i rechecked my email account, it showed that the files i tried to attatch could not be read by the service provider." something liek that should work so you dont have to straight up lie in front of the class. lemme know if i can help you anymore. <3
