False confession

Sometimes, people say things that aren't true. Sometimes people say things that they didn't really do. This is called a false confession.

Imagine playing a game of hide and seek, but you didn't really hide because you wanted to stay in one spot the whole time. That would be like giving a false confession. You're saying something that isn't true to make things different for some reason.

Sometimes people will say that they did something they didn't really do because they think it will help them or make them look good. Other times, people might say they did something because they are being pressured or threatened by someone else. But no matter the reason, giving a false confession can lead to big problems for the person who says them and even innocent people can get in trouble because of a false confession. That's why it's important to be honest and truthful.
