Everyone in life has secrets. People hide things that embarrass them, make them feel ashamed, or even just that they don't want people to know.
Many times, some will reveal their secrets to close individuals and those that they trust, but there are those who don't trust anyone and those who keep things closed off forever. Some people keep their secrets for life, that they're going to take to the grave. But, there's nothing quite like sharing them with total strangers online.
koushakandystore said that as a kid, his parents were starting a new business and worked day and night, leaving him alone at home a lot. Sick and tired of it, he decided to "break into" his own house, trashing their home office and breaking lamps, windows, desks, and doors. He called his mom and said someone broke into the house. The cops stormed the house with guns and detectives and eventually, he told them the truth.
Luckily he was too young for criminal charges to be pressed.

"When I was about 8 I was in a supermarket with my mum and she had to use the bathroom. I was sitting on the bench outside waiting and there was one of those “press to break glass” fire alarms on the wall. I wanted to know how hard you had to press it… not very hard as it turns out.
The whole store had to leave their shopping and go outside, well over 100 people. Not sure what happened after that because we just went home," said General-Ad-9753.
IntergalacticPopTart said that when he was younger, his mom took away his favorite computer game after he was punished for bad grades.

Wick3d3nd3r said when he was 9, his dad took him to a lumber store to grab some stuff. He had to go to the bathroom really bad but couldn't find the bathroom (or his dad). So, he wandered off and found a secluded corner of the store and just took a whole piss in the corner.
BBQinFool said in 7th grade, they were supposed to write a science paper that they never wrote. When the teacher asked if they turned it in, they said "yes, they did."

"In senior year of HS, I put a milk carton in the ceiling of a portable building right before spring break. When we came back from spring break, the classroom smelled like a rotting corpse. Some other kid that was a known prankster somehow got blamed and was suspended," said carpetgazer.
AlessiaRS18 shared that when they were 15, they were in an abusive relationship where her partner would make her feel terrible if she didn't have money to pay when they went out.

Now, she's an adult in therapy and she puts part of her paycheck into her grandma's money box.

"When I was a kid (17) I worked at a Greyhound station. I accidentally sent a woman to Salmo instead of Salmon Arm because I thought it just ran out of print space on the ticket/screen. I had never heard of Salmo back then. That woman had to spend an entire night in hells half acres, and lost an entire day of travel. My boss chalked it up to a "glitch" in their antiquated machine," said I_Like_Ginger.
SKatieRo said she is a "therapeutic foster parent," and temporarily parents children in the foster system before they are reunited with their bio families or adoptive families.

El_Werm said he slept with his mom's friend, who was a bit younger than his mom. She was 32 and he was 20 at the time. She asked for "help with her WiFi" and asked him to come over. She then pulled out a bottle of tequila and some shot glasses. The two did the deed.
