That sounds really tough. It can be hard to share that you’ve been using substances with other people, especially adults, and at the same time, it sounds like you are feeling scared and could benefit from some support. Please reach out to a trusted adult, like your parent/guardian, a school counselor, or your health care provider. They will be happy you told them and can help you get the help you need to feel better.
