Unhealthy Confession

 I used to live in Canada when I was 17. One day, when I was in health class and the teacher was talking about confessions. "Healthy or unhealthy, we need to talk about our problems." Everybody was talking about a "weird" fetish they had. I just stood quiet and listened. If only you knew my unhealthy confession, I thought.  the teacher didn't seem to notice that I hadn't spoken at all. the bell was about to ring when she checked her grade book. "Uh, Tessa, you haven't told the class one of your confessions." 

" Am I in a confessional or something?" Everyone chuckled.

" Now Tessa, do you want your participation points?"

" Yea sure, Whatever. I had sex with a twenty-seven year old." 

Everyone was silent. The teacher told me to take a seat. Once the bell rung, I had people come up to me and ask, "Did you really?", "Did it hurt?", "Was it rape?", etc. The thing is that wasn't the worst part.
