Tell Us About A Deep, Dark, Or Shocking Secret You've Kept From Your Parents For Years

Taking this one to the grave...

We've all got secrets. Sometimes, we come to terms with them, but there are still certain people we'll never tell.

Like, for example, our parents. Maybe it's something we did when we were really little that we blamed on someone else — like our sibling.

Or maybe it's something we know about their spouse or parents (our grandparents) that you've sworn to never tell them.

"When I was 12, my bio-mum suddenly started going for a lot of coffee with friends ... she admitted to me that she had a boyfriend and not to tell my dad. She left not long after. That was nearly 20 years ago and my dad has no idea"

Maybe it has nothing to do with our parents, but you know it's the kind of thing they should know about you — but there's no way you'll ever tell them.

"I never graduated from high school. I was a smart student and got very good grades but lost all my academic ambition ... [my parents' trusted me and knew I was a strong student. ... I don't think I'll ever share this"

Whatever the secret is that you're keeping from a parent, we want to know what it is. Let us know in the comments below or submit it via this anonymous form, and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
