When I was in 3rd grade a girl accused me and my best friend of purposefully stepping on her. We were forced to sit in a room, no parents, no lunch, until we confessed. Eventually I was told I could go to violin lessons if I admitted to my wrong. So I lied to get out of the room I had been left in for 5 hours.
My friend never lied. He got in a lot of trouble because I did lie. He left school the next year after being dogged by the administration for every wrong that could be piled on him. Last I heard he was in jail.
I am utterly ashamed of that lie. Probably the worst lie I ever told.

I’m sorry that happened, but almost no third graders would be able to successfully deal with such a classic “prisoner’s dilemma.” All I’m saying is, try not to blame yourself, anyone would have acted the same in that situation. The system is to blame, not you. :/
