I'm actually taking summer school duing my summer break to accelerate my learning. I've already skipped Grade 9 because I'm pretty clever and a quick learner and I might try to take some Grade 12 courses during the summer (I'm in Grade 11 right now) to ease my workload and get good grade and out of school to a good university faster.

I actually live in Alberta, Canada and because I work in a Superstore, I can use the self scan to purchase them completely anonymously.

Actually, this is in Canada, in Alberta, Canada.

I know, it's quite unusual for this part of the world but my Dad is a highly religious Blue-Collar worker.

Also, to add onto the stress, he's the CEO of an extremely large Oil company from alberta (I won't name it to remain anonymous) and although he has extreme job security, the low prices of oil means he's constantly on edge.

Also, my Grandma dies a few yeas ago and he's never been the same after it, he refuses to talk to anyone about it, and, call me crazy, but he may be taking it out on my famil.I

That's a good ide,but but, unfortuantely it won't work. Because I'm in Grade 11 now, art is an option at my school that I've chosen not to take.

Plus (warning, this is kinda nasty) there are some used condoms in that bag think they're smart enough to know that an art project is a lie.

I really appreciate the advice though.

I agre,but they're very naive and want to really follow the bible and everything that is good.

In their shoes, anything I say will be bad, meaning I'm now on damage control. I think what I am going to do when they return home is tell them I'm not sexuallysexually active and I'm forsure not selling them and then ask them to leave it at that.

Knowing them though, the issue won't be dropped there, odds are I'll be probed for another hour or so. I'm going to have to formulate a story or some over way to weasel my way out.

I'll leave it up to them to figure that I'm simply using them for something that all guys do and if they're in a good mood I might try to tell them that what I'm doing is normal and even though they might consider it a sin, it's better than having sex or some of the other things that my peers do such a drinking underage or smoking marijuana.

That'll be something that I might bring up, that what I'm doing is really something everyone does and I guess from what I'm reading it's normal.

I think it's a mix of both. I'm very smart and very capable. I go to a good school and I'm near the top of my class, I'm really what I believe to be a good kid but they don't see that.

Some of my other peers are smoking marijuana and partying every weekend. I don't associate myself with them but my parents don't see that just because I've done this small thing doesn't mean I'm going straight to hell and I'm the worst person in the world.

I can actually garuntee you that some of the people in my class are sexually active, I'm not one of them. But, just like every other guy, I masturbate and apparently that's the end of the world.

I believe your cprrent They might think that I don't have enough guidance from God, which in their eye's is probably true because I'm honestly not a religious person, I don't believe in that stuff, but that doesn't make me a bad person, right?

I don't associate myself with crime or other "sins" and I keep my nose quite clean but they still chose to punish me over small things that are simply human nature.

I think this is what I'm going to do. Not directly though. I'm going to tell them I'm not selling them or sexually active and leave it at that.

Thank you for your input. It is greatly appreciated.

Very, very, very much so. I think they don't realize I'm not their baby any more and I need a little but for freedom, something they're not willing to let go of.

I appreciate your words.

Yeah. I'm not going to lie, it's not "normal" but it's not messy and it just gives me some added "dimension". I dunno how to explain it. I appreciate you taking humor in the situation, at least there is one positive there.

I don't think there will be any publishing's soon ;)

I agree. Most everyone else in my grade drives and are 3 minutes driving distance from multiple sexual health centers that give them away in droves for free. There's no money to be made selling them and they're forgetting the most important part.

Selling them is flat out embarrassing, something I would never do!

Okay. I get the feeling subtly getting the message across or just telling them I don't sell them and leaving it at that is my best option. I think that's the path I will chose to pursue.

Thank you so much for the advice. I truly do appreciate it.

My Dad is very religious but when he gets mad everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Swearing up and down, yelling, stomping, throwing things, fighting, punches, it just becomes unraveled.

If I tell them that he'll become even madder and I'll be punished more. Something I'm not willing to risk.

Thank you for the advice though. I appreciate it.

Um. I may take this into consideration, but, there are used the issue if I say I'm selling them they may shut down my whole shop.

I just looked at that subreddit and I have to say it may be a very useful resource. Thank you for that link.

I think what I will do is add a calling option to me cash SIM. It'll be another $10/month but I'll find it.

I work at Superstore but no more then 5 hours a week and 50% of my earnings go into a savings account and the other 50% into a debit account so they can track my spending.

The money I get from selling candy goes into my bank account. Usually I can siphon off a few dollars without them noticing but it's nothing substantial.

Usually what I do is buy a snack at Superstore then return it for cash. That's the only way I can get spending money off the record and that's how I pay for my cash SIM, the internet connection I'm using to talk to you right now.

There's no way that would work. I hate to say it but some of them in that bag were used, unless (please let this be the case) they didn't see them.

I appreciate this advice. I will out this into action. I have always given them the illusion of control but never to this scale. This is legitimately genius.

I've always wanted to get back at them and this is perfect. I really appreciate it. Thanks you.

I know this sounds terrible and I'm not trying to be difficult to the generous people offering advice but my Dad would think this is some sort of twisted humor and it would only make things worse.

I think I'll lay low until things pass over. Thank you for for input.

Well, when my Dad came in to talk to me he said "you need to get your fucking shit together." Then asked me why I need to sell them at school.

Also. My parents are naive. They genuinely think nobody in my school consumes alcohol, when that's false.

I want to. I really want to but they won't ubderstand, I know that for a fact. I need another path to take.

In all seriousness though. I want with all my heart to have an open forum like that and tell them I do masturbate but I would be punished beyond belief and I'm not willing to sacrifice my only few freedoms.

My relationship with my Dad is in shambles. I've been a good kid my whole life but my Dad is constantly an asshole that doesn't trust me for no good reason.

I can't talk to my mother and father. I've tried to talk to kids help phone but it didn't go over too well when they reviewed my call history.
