my school starts soon. Luckily my mothers case is not a big one so it wasn't on the news or anything. I told one of my friends but haven't told two others. If I invite them over they will probably notice my mom not there. Do you think if people find out they will be all cruel or teasing like you usually see on television shows or understandable and just mind their own business? I am optimistic and believe they will be understandable and won't act in the way you usually see like on TV
It really depends, every kid is different. The good ones will mind their own business but teenage girls love drama and love to gossip.
Honestly, if I was you, I'd keep it to yourself. If your friends come over and they notice then you can just ask them to keep it to themselves because it's really no ones business but your family. If it gets around, they weren't good friends.
With my own personal experience, my dad was stabbed by a man and was almost killed a couple months ago. It was on the news but the victim (my dad) remained nameless.
I could just go around and tell all my friends that my dad was almost killed, but what's the point? I only told a couple of my friends and it didn't get around anywhere else. I only asked everyone else to just pray for my dad, and that's it, no other explanations.
There is reasons why I don't want to spread it around. That man had motive to hurt my dad and then it just makes your family look bad when really, my family is all good people.

If they ask you where your mom is you can just avoid the question or tell them "she's not here right now". If they are your true friends they'll understand regardless of whether or not you tell them. If they push the subject and you feel uncomfortable just politely tell them that you would prefer not to talk about it and change the topic. They won't be cruel if they are your true friends, just make sure you don't say anything insulting about your mom and I'm sure they won't feel enticed to say anything back about her either. Just stay positive it's okay you can still have fun with your friends and not have to worry about that. [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]
