Thanks I’ll let my two older ones know that.Yes, im a parent of a teen. You told her to “blame her parents”... when her parents are not the issue—-> therefore lying
As an AllStar coach & high school coach...I don’t ever condone dishonesty. Kids these days need to learn to openly and honestly confront issues in appropriate ways... not skirt them.
The individual did the CORRECT thing in telling her coach what REALLY was going on, therefore being open with an adult who invested just as much time in her as she invested in them.
When she’s an adult and works a job or is in college she will deal with things that she will need to confront. “Mom and Dad” won’t be a viable excuse when you’re 30.
She handled it well and I’m glad it worked out for her.
I’ve seen too many coaches react negatively to kids being honest. Kudos to you for not being that way.
