Hi there!

Welcome to TeenHelp! This is the place to be if you want some advice, want to rant, or anything in between!

So I am going to mostly second what Emma has already said. Sometimes we end up lying, it just happens. You were really young back then, and you would've had your reasons. It's in the past now, so don't beat yourself over that

Like Emma said, you can come clean about your age to your friend now, and explain why you lied about your age 4 years ago. Try to seek their understanding. Yes, they might be upset for some time, but if they truly valued your friendship, they will not let this matter break your ties.

It's always laudable to be honest when we made a mistake, it's not too late to rectify it

Take care, and feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions!
