Journal Question #2

Students tell me that they don't tell their parents everything - for instance, a student won't say he's sick to mom and dad because he doesn't want his parents to worry about him.  In other words, students keep secrets from their parents.  We all keep secrets, and not only from parents; we also keep secrets from roommates, friends, classmates, teachers, you name it.  Do you keep secrets?  From whom?  Why?  Also, can you keep a secret that someone tells you?
