How to tell a secret?
So I am 14 years old and I write poetry. I have like a thousand notebooks full of my poems. I don't know why but I can't show them to anyone, I'm shy and embarrassed. It's like a secret, no one knows that I write them. So my problem is that I recently won a poetry contest and the prize is 500 dollars and I'll be published in a magazine but I don't know how to tell my parents. I know they will be proud but I like my poetry being a secret (ill be published under the name "unknown") so how do i tell them?

Well you already know they'll be proud of you so it's not like you have to fear them getting angry or something.
Just come out and tell them. Say something like, "Mom, dad, I like to write poetry and I submitted one of them in a contest and I won."
Just bring it up when you're with them like in the car, eating at the dinner table, sitting on the couch watching tv, anytime really.

That's great you write poetry. it is nothing you should be ashamed about, are you afraid that you might not be good enough? If that is why; you won a contest!! Yes you should tell your parents. I honestly think you should just sit them down and tell them that you have been writing poetry and entered a contest and that you won. :) I hope this helped!!
