i cheated and im scared!
I did the dumbest thing and cheated on my exam and got caught, we were allowed to bring an outline of our essay for the exam but i also brought an extra piece of paper. When our teacher entered the class and checked our papers i hid mine and he didnt see it. After a while the substitute noticed me with an extra piece of paper and after the exam she said she wanted to hand in all my papers. I just lied to my father everything went well. I'm not scared to get suspended but im scared to disappoint my father..What should i do? I have 2 more days of school and then the whole summer with him until i go to boarding school! Help please..
P.S im in 8th grade

Your title says you cheated. So I am wondering if your extra sheet of paper had answers for the exam. If it did, then you are correct that you cheated. If it was blank, then you did not.
Parents understand that their pre teen and teen kids, no matter how grown up you feel you are, are just going to be still making bad choices and mistakes. Its not so much that you made a bad choice that would upset a parent, but if you make it and don't learn from it and thus repeat the bad choices.
It sounds to me like you feel remorseful in not wanting to disappoint your father. So let him know how you feel and what you did to feel this way. Good luck.

Honesty is the best policy. I suggest you tell you dad the truth so he can be prepared for whatever happens with school and your exam. I'm not sure what the problem is by having an extra sheet of paper would be, especially and hopefully if it was blank.
If you were my daughter and you were truthful with me to begin with. Then I could argue for you with the school for having an extra sheet of blank paper as seems to be a no harm no foul situation to me. If I'm not prepared and I'm blindsided by the school say by a phone call; how can I defend you.
Given what I have just written above. My suggestion is you go to your father and tell him the truth.
