Currently I'm living at my parents house. I have a teenage sister, who is in high school. We have a good relationship although we aren't siblings who play or chat with eachother often.
This afternoon she came home from, with a slightly pink nose, and I asked if she had a cold. She just went to her room. It hadn't occured to me at all that she had been crying.
Later when my dad returned, she said she had something to tell him, before immediately breaking into tears. He said quickly said sure and went into her room to talk with her. I was shocked because my sister had always been a snotty kid at home.
I respected that she wanted to talk to our dad first; while I was sitting outside, I was considering possibilities. I suspected she was either raped or had gotten herself pregnant. They were having a pretty long conversation, which lasted about 3 hours. I was already making plans to find out anyone who mistreated her and teach them a lesson.
It turns out what happened was that she failed her economics test, with a score of 6/30. I now feel like a jackass.

That's a definite relief given the alternatives you were considering, but I've always been a straight-A student and I remember the first time I failed a test too... pretty much the same reaction as your sister.

It's funny how encouraged men are to think of that as the most likely possibility, to always think of women (even family) in terms of their sexuality. If it were a boy who came home like that, you'd think maybe he got beat up or something, emphasizing the stereotypical male role in conflicts.
Probably it's pop fiction / TV's fault

imagine if you talked to her first.
you: who hurt you?!
sister: ...economics

Rewatching The Secret Life of the American Teenager right now, this is a twist I did not see coming.
Though, 3 hours...maybe they just made something up they would tell other people while she is getting an abortion or something, stay suspicious.

If you were that dedicated to protecting your sister, you would have knocked the teacher out. Coward.

If really from Hong Kong, stereotype 10/10

Saw you are from Hong Kong, everything makes sense now
