Warning: Read at your own risk!
I've been hearing this from many people these days that I'm a very good person etc etc. This post would hopefully help you somewhat:
In small places like my hometown, a person who consumes alcohol is treated as if he has done one of the biggest crime of this world. Of course, there can be many other activities too, apart from just drinking. And in such a condition, a boy’s parents are also seen as culprits. So the reputation is always at stack. Since the society at such a place takes a lot of interest into other peoples’ lives, therefore, once the reputation is lost, it becomes really very hard to gain it back.

Somebody asked my Papa some days back, “Your son has not been living with you for such a long period now. How can you believe that he has not got himself addicted to bad habits and does not do anything wrong?”
Papa replied, “I trust my son completely. I don’t believe he is like any other son of this town, who would indulge in those wrong deeds.”
When my Ma was explaining this incident to me, I could not feel anything, but guilt. I suddenly found myself falling into a place, where there was a serious dearth of the respect of my parents. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. Of course, I drank for a very less number of times. Of course, they do not know about this yet. But breaking somebody’s trust can result into a punishment for the whole of lifetime. And they are my parents!
Now since you’ve read this post upto this point, that means you seem to bekind of interested in me. I’d like to tell you one thing. Apart from this what I mentioned above, in the past five years, I’ve said a lot of lies to them for a countless number of times, for friends, for many things that I wanted to get etc. They don’t know this, but I’ve broken their trust many times. Something similar can happen with you as well, in fact it might already have happened. I’d really not like this to happen again. So, I request you not to trust me or whatever.
Whatever decision you take, it won’t hurt me now.
