Hey /adv/, I'm in a bit of a pickle of my own pickling. I've been suspended from my university for a semester, but my parents think I'm doing fine and are asking for my fall schedule. I know I should come clean and accept whatever punishment there is and work this fall, but I'm nearly a robot with crippling self-esteem issues and need you all to tell me what to do.

If you can lie and be fairly certain it won't backfire, go.
If you can't, well, weigh your options and find that it's most likely better to come clean now.
But really, if there's a way to avoid the punishment and letting your parents down, well, take it. Most people here will tell you that you owe them and that you should come clean and blah blah but that's bullshit. Works worse for everyone, so if you can get away with it, lie.
