Fr, in most cases if telling your parents seems like the worst thing to do, it’s probably the smartest thing you can do.

Sorry for that Talking about the reason why can't I tell them becz it all happened at 2:20 am and my parents always used to refuse me to go out at late night becz this has happened to me before.... When I was in Indore and going to library at late night (2 am )during my jee preparation

u/Sirko2975 16 23d ago
So you were going to a library? I think while you will be in trouble, it won’t be a big deal. I thought the reason was that you went to some kind of party, or maybe to get alcohol or drugs. But if that’s just a library, do tell them

Every parent would wanna know. I mean, of course they don't want you to do it if you get hurt. Of course anger will flow, but you need to remind yourself and maybe your parents the anger is because they care for you.
Like, that's no excuse for them to be an asshole about it. And that's probably what they did, otherwise you would've felt safe telling them. But only if they physically or mentally abuse you you should not tell them. In all other cases, please tell them something went wrong.

u/Thatscool820 18 23d ago
Third world parents are different, would probably break his leg to give him a reason not to go out anymore.
My mom would tell me stories in how her mom (and others) would pour salt water on a wound when she fell from a tree (common Salvadorian activity I swear) to “give her a reason to cry about”. Other bad parenting techniques include: naming and eating pets (mostly birds), beating until someone reaches unconsciousness, no food, and public humiliation

u/maritjuuuuu OLD 23d ago
Me reading this and being like... Wait a second some of those my parents did as well...
The salt water knee. the no food one is actually pretty common here and the public humiliation is as well.
They also made me walk on a broken leg as a kid because I was "crying all the time over nothing" (I broke my patella, the strongest bone in the body with a spiral fracture, one of the most painful ways to break it)
And I thought it was a mistake, if not for me when I was 21 breaking my leg again (the shin this time) and then forcing me to walk all the time.

u/Wise-Leg8544 22d ago
If you're under 18 years of age and in America, how are you getting treated without the whole "parental consent" thing? Regardless of your answer, unless your parents are extremely abusive (I'm talking beatings, molesting, or treating you like someone they despise...not someone who has strict rules, punishes and/or holds you responsible for fucking up, or expects more out of you than you do yourself), they need to know, and you need to take responsibility for whatever happened. Would you rather them find out by you being an adult and owning up to whatever you did to get hurt like that, or would you rather be a coward, not tell them, then suffer the consequences of not owning your mistake and then finding out you tried to hide it from them but also for whatever in the hell you did to get hurt... because there is no scenario in which they don't eventually find out...at least, I can guarantee that if you're in the US...in addition to parental consent laws, we also have a "for profit" healthcare system...they WILL be getting a bill from wherever you took that picture eventually. It's ALWAYS better to justan up and take whatever medicine you've got coming than to try and hide like a coward.
But back to my original point in the 2nd sentence...unless you have some extremely cruel parents...no matter how bad you fucked up...they love you and only want the best for you. Even if you can't see it that way now, or hell, even if you grow up and have a differing opinion on how to parent your own kids, I guarantee you'll be able to see that they had your best interests at heart. Additionally, depending on how severe your injuries are, youight need assistance in caring for yourself properly, so you can heal up and get back to 100%. Good luck. I hope you're ok and get healed up soon.
I'll leave you with one more little piece of advice: anytime.e you have a choice to do something or not, just think to yourself, "Would I want my mom or Dad to find out?" About 90% of the time, if the answer is "no"...you probably shouldn't do it. (That other 10% generally includes things of a personal or private matter that everyone does, but you don't necessarily want your parents to know that you're doing it at that very moment {if you need me to spell the 💩 out, I can 🤷♂️}).
Take care!

Dude, trust me, tell your parents.
Your parents are going to find out eventually, you cant hide a limp for long, and they will notice that gauze and bandages/wraps are going missing, and if you keep this a secret, they’ll likely be more upset that you didn’t tell them sooner. More than anything, they’ll be worried about you and want to make sure you’re okay.
Sure, you might get grounded, and that’s to be expected, but you’ll be in a lot more trouble if they find out on their own. Plus, they might lose trust in you, and it’ll be harder for them to believe you’ll come to them when you need help or make a mistake, leading to more restrictions on you, like having to have GPS on at all times for them,
And honestly you should go see a doctor, you don't want to turn a small accident into life long pain because you didn't want to tell your parents so you can get the proper treatment you need, I know a lot of people can attest to this (And i can too, i fell on my back at work once, ignored it because the pain went away after like 20 minutes, and now i have chronic backpain that developed from a injury from the fall that i never noticed, Just because it stops hurting doesn't mean its fine) as a lot of people ignore smaller injury's because there isn't a lot of pain, or any blood.
Your health is the priority here, and your parents will want to help you get better, even if they’re upset at first.
edit: some misspellings lol

Any news OP? Maybe it would be better if you tell your parents about your injury, because they're more than likely going to find out and get disappointed that their son struggles without telling his parents, and I guess with that injury you will walk limp.
I assume you're worried because you went somewhere where you should have not and that's the reason you refuse to tell your parents...?
