you white kids get off easy... tell your parents, what happens? grounded? insulted? you feel like shit??? being indian, it was all of the above plus a beating.. yes.. even in high school... i would kill to get in trouble with white parents....get caught drinking and my punishment?? mommy's gonna go buy a breathalyzer and every night you come home, we're gonna test...
if you can get away without telling your parents, fine... but if it's something serious, keep in mind the doctor could tell you it's serious and call an ambulance on the spot and send you to a hospital... then imagine how random it'll be for your parents...
