Yeah sorry but you did FU. No way out but to admit that 9 years ago you were seeking attention and wanted to be special. I don’t know how or why you haven’t owned up to it sooner. It’s a lot easier as a young youth to admit you fibbed and retain less drastic consequences. Now that you and your friends are coming into more mature ages it’s only going to hit harder and there’s nothing to do to mitigate that unless you move away and make all new friends. That’s almost a decade of a lie and you’re not even an adult yet. I’m not sure how you’ve gone this long (bravo I guess?) but unless you want to live this lie out until you either die or lose contact with these friends then you should probably come clean.

Side note: don’t let your teenage friends spend what little money they may have on a kind gesture for you that is completely unnecessary and not even legitimate.

This might sound harsh, and I’m sorry. However, that is the consequences for your actions and I hope this situation sheds a valuable lesson on your life.

I lost an entire friend group over a false accusation from someone else in the friend group who was the actual culprit. They believed him instead of me. Yes it was very traumatic but I’m glad I don’t hangout with those people anymore. They’re all shitty people going nowhere in life anyway. You’ll get over it eventually if you lose them.

Just tell them you don't want the glasses. Tell them your case is not considered to be that bad. You only have a few more years of this then you'll likely never see 99% of these people for the rest of your life. At 16 it's been so long that you honestly should just commit at this point. We all tell stupid lies as kids but I think very rarely do they have this lifespan and you'd get a lot of shit for revealing it now. Not saying they wouldn't be friends with you anymore but as I'm sure you know kids your age can be dickheads.
