A grown-up you know asked you to keep a secret from your parents. Maybe it was wrapped up as something fun — "this'll be our little secret" — or maybe it came with a reason that sounded almost sensible. Either way, you're now holding something an adult told you not to tell your mum or dad. It's sitting uneasily. You like this grown-up, and part of you feels special being trusted with a secret. But another part feels a low, uncomfortable buzz — a sense that secrets from your own parents aren't supposed to feel like this. You're not sure if it's a fun secret or a wrong one, and you don't know how to tell the difference.
