I hate lying to you.

Especially when you tell me after I lie that although you’re not sure if what I said makes any sense at all, you still believe me.

I don’t know which is worse: that I doubt the things you say when a student is supposed to trust his teacher, or that you trust me completely even though we barely know each other and I am taking advantage of it.

It’s not like I want to do this. I want to treat you with the respect, honesty and deference that you deserve from me since you are my teacher and I am a principled student. If I didn’t have to care about anything else, I wouldn’t lie. Unfortunately, I’m not in that position.

I hate lying to you.

I’m sorry. :(
