'It was all built on lies': After secretly being suspended from school, a girl lied to her family about attending a study program in Edinburgh, used the money to travel instead, when family discovers the truth, her sister struggles to forgive her

You know, when you hear a crazy story, and it seems like that's exactly all it could be…some unrealistic, fictional tale. Well, this story seems like it could've been ripped out of the pages of a family drama novel, yet it shockingly seems to be true…This college student was too scared to tell her parents that she had been suspended, so instead she pretends to be in an exchange program in Edinburgh, whilst actually spending all that time and money travelling. Her parents believe all their money is going towards an education, yet it's being spent on flights and hotels right under their noses! This girl must have an emotional off button, because we couldn't last a day with this kind of guilt…

Her sister back home is struggling to come to terms with her sister's manipulation and dishonesty, elements that have been the foundation of their relationship for the past few months. When this student finally returns home, she admits to what she has done and begs forgiveness, but their whole family is unable to wrap their minds around the amount of time, money, and effort she has purposely wasted out of fear of taking responsibility for her reckless actions.

How can you forgive someone who has been so deceitful, especially at the expense of those you love and respect? Maybe forgiveness comes with time, but does living a double life mean longer sentencing…? For all we know, she may never have even attended college in the first place. If someone can lie about such big things in their lives, we worry about what else they’ve been dishonest about.
