TIFU by damaging the ceiling at my school

Well, two days ago, after school, my friend and I were walking around school bored, and I asked him questions like, Should I do this? Should I do that? A few moments later, I asked him if I should try to cling to the false ceiling, he said yes, and without thinking, I immediately jumped and broke a bit of the ceiling, it did not come off, but it broke, and there was debris on the floor. I ran immediately, and he followed slowly behind me. I knew I was screwed, but I hoped I would not be caught for what I just did. We walked away that day without telling a teacher or anyone. The day after, during lunch, we were called into the office and had to apologize. They showed us footage of what happened and it looked really dumb. They then talked about the damages because I had to pay for it and that my parents were also going to be notified. The teacher also told me that if I were honest and told them when I broke the ceiling on the same day, I would not have had to pay for the damages? ? They could not reach my mom's number and I said I would tell her when I went home. It's been 2 days and I still don't know how to tell my mom because of how absurdly dumb it sounds to break the ceiling. They also have not told me how much I would need to pay to fix the ceiling, I hope it's not much, and that they won't have to replace the whole false ceiling because it was like 2x1 foot. Thanks for reading, I don't know how I will tell my mom or how much it would be to fix it.

sorry if it's not easy to read it's 2am here

TL;DR I broke the ceiling at my school and I don't know how to tell my mum.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
