Do you tell your parents when you have just mass debated? No? It's still important though isn't it, especially when you're young.

Lower-case "s". Well done 😵


But, you didn't need to write 'or not' because of the implication of the word 'whether'.

I tried to tell my parents when I had mass debated once. But they were too busy w**king to listen.
