😃Hello friends and my fellow Advisors🤗

Welcome to another fantastic week with the

Hot Topic of the Week!!!😃


The Development Team is changing the previous concept. According to the new concept, the Development Team will give a situation which most of us can relate to and we shall discuss about it HERE only😃

The person who posts the best advice here, will be made the Advisor of the Week ,which basically Member of the Week😃

Hope you got the new concept😳 If not, please feel free to post your questions here and I will answer them😊

So wasting no time further...................

This week's situation is -

Telling your parents about the bad marks you got in your exam

Suppose, a girl named Neha flunked in maths, which is an important subject to pursue Economic Honours. She knows that her parents will be very dissappointed and angry. She doesnt know what to do, she doesnt know how to tell her parents about her marks. Should she lie about her marks? Should she exaggerate to make it passable but still not that great? Or should she tell her parents the truth, ready to bare the anger and dissapointment they will feel towards her failure?

So my fellow advisors, what advice will you give to Neha? Please post your advice in this thread itself. The best advisor will be made the "Advisor of the Week"😃

So what are you waiting for???Start advising😃

Loads of love😃

I don't think she should lie because her parents will try to help her...

But when i've done bad... I tell my marks truthfully... I change the highest marks in the class sometimes though 😳

Should she lie about her marks? absolutely not if she does sooner or later her parents are gonna find out right? she'll be in more troble then.. (well that's what my mom's always saying to me) Should she exaggerate to make it passable but still not that great? Well, she can try.. but it's kindof not gonna be worth it. Or should she tell her parents the truth, yes tell them d truth. although she wont be able to say it right up maybe after a while like 'uhh.. remember that exam.. blah blah blah. ready to bare the anger and dissapointment they will feel towards her failure? yes that's d best thing that she can do. just try harder next time 😳

this is d advide i would give neha..! cuz i go through this A LOT!! and i just tell them d truth.. maybe after a couple of days or so.. and i say i'll try harder next time

Never Lie, it will just get harder if you lie and keep on Lying.

Parents will always be theor to support you, no matter what.

If you fail once, doesnt matter, try again.

TBH not been in this situation, as i usually am the one that beats every1 else 😆 but people around me have been in this situation, and best thing is to be honest.

At least that way your parents dont expect you to get top always, they will know you struggles a lil bit and when you do get top they will be extra proud as they know you are not so string in that subject.

So always tell the truth, 😊 but maybe like sammy, tell a lil white lie about the top result in the class, lolsss 😆

Lieing makes the situation 10 times worse...If you lie once, you have to continue to lie in order to conceal the truth...so its better to say the truth. She shouldn't lie to her parents, because parents are always with you, in the bad and good times...If she has received a bad mark, she should have the courage to explain to her parents why she received bad marks, because what ever you put in, thats what you receive out of it...she must have not studies hard in order to receive those good marks...so, therefore, she should explain to her parents in a truthful manner. Parents usually forgive, so she should try harder for next time...because improvement always makes a difference!

Well, i would try to exaggerate, to make it not sound bad but i wouldn't add any lies to it...It may work, depending on how parents feel...

So she should tell her parents the truth, ready to face all the consequences and try harder for next time!

I think that Neha should tell her Parents the truth, first off its the rite thing to do, and You should never lie to your parents

Also because, she will feel guilty about not telling them, which usually makes things worse!

Her parents will support her, they will be a little angry, but they are you parents after all, they will tell her to work harder and will support her through out!

She should tell the truth. Lieing wont help her anyhow because her parents are bound to find out when they find out she cant pursue her career as a Economic Honours. After she tells the truth Im sure they will be mad for a day or two, but sooner the problem will be solved. You could tell them that you are willing to take the class again and will do alot better.

I think that Neha should tell her parents the truth because lying is just going to make the matter worse and not better at all.

If she is a good student and just bombed one test, then her parents should be able to understand. I mean we all have our bad days. Even the best of students go through the worst of situations. I am rank 1 in my class but I have received a couple 70s on my Pre-Calc quizzes. And that's ok, as soon as I tried my best and never repeated the same mistakes. I covered them up with 95's on the tests.

Coming back to the point, Neha didn't do it purposely. Maybe she was tired, didn't get the problems, or her mind just blanked out at the moment. So what? It was just one test and I think parents would be able to understand.

She should tell them the truth and explain the reason why she did so horribly. Then she should assure her parents that this will never happen again and she will give her 200% to the forthcoming quizzes and tests and make up for it.

No exaggeration is needed. Just telling the truth will do. Maybe her parents will still be angry but they'll be fine soon since they are parents. But if Neha lies then the lie will definitely come back again to haunt her. That happens all the time. Either she'll have to say another 100 more lies to cover up this lie or someone from school will call/send reports or something and she'll get caught. Then her parents will be 100 times madder. So it's best in her interest to tell the truth.
