['I feel like I have let my family down. I got into trouble with the law.', "Oh that's not good. What did you do?", "I lied to the cops about something I was questioned about. Truthfully, I didn't want other people to get into trouble. But instead, I was charged with making false statements to the police."]
I'm sorry you are going through that. Sometimes telling the truth is the best, even if other people might get in trouble.
Lately I feel like I have let my family down. I have gotten myself into trouble.
