I didn't tell my parents what happened because they would've freaked and gone straight to Dusty Muleman, or maybe even the police, which was not how I wanted to handle it.
I chose not to share what happened with my parents because I knew they would overreact. They might have immediately contacted Dusty Muleman or called the police, and I didn't want that to happen. My goal was to avoid causing unnecessary trouble or making the situation worse.
I felt that keeping things to myself was the best option at the time, even though it was difficult. I believed that handling things quietly was a better way to protect myself and control the situation without involving others who might escalate it.
