ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

A Confession

A confession is when you admit to doing something wrong. It could be something small like lying to your parents or something bigger like stealing money. It can also be admitting to something that was an accident. By confessing, you are admitting that you did something wrong and that you are sorry for it. It can be difficult to admit you did something wrong, but it can help to make things right and move forward.
