I’m in first year Highschool, I’ve got a lot on my plate. Projects, exams, time, I’ve got a lot to manage. Today I accidentally hit myself in the nose with my knee, really damn hard, trying to do a joke during class. I was excused to go to the nurse’s clinic, nothing serious, just put an ice pack. Got home, placed another ice pack from the freezer to help with the swelling. When parents came home, dad realised I had an ice pack on my desk, he asked why. I lied and said “Oh, I got hit by a volleyball while playing. I’ve already learnt my mistake, I don’t need a long talk.” (Context : my dad can literally spend hours talking on a subject on “self improvement” and they’re really obvious and can be remembered with common sense, he always does this talk that lasts way too long ever since I was young, a handful of years back) Dad replies with “oh okay, you should’ve just blocked the ball with your face using your arms, like this.” *holds arms infront of face* I interrupted him and said “please I really don’t want this talk, it’s almost for me to go to sleep.” I let my dad get out of the room and close the door. A few seconds later, he continues his lecture on how I could’ve defended myself better. Now I’m here typing this in the sub. I’ve had talks with him before on how he needs to keep it short with his “lectures.” MANY times before. Even though I lied about my situation, it is my fault and he’s trying to help, but I wanna hear your guys’ opinions.
