Hello everyone. I am pokedragonS8, or more preferably, Poke'. Recently, I've just turned 16 years old. I'm also female, but I doubt that matters. There are more important things to discuss.

Just a few weeks ago, I was told my dad was diagnosed with cancer. What kind, they still haven't told me. Most likely I'll have to find out myself. During this time, I had considered signing up for this site, but decided against it, as I was told constantly that he would get better.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as the doctors had planned. When my mother returned home about 10 minutes ago from the hospital, and spoke the famous words "We need to talk" I instantly knew what she meant. And sadly, I was right. Why is it I'm always right in bad situations...?

My dad is going to die. He's had all the treatments possible, and none have worked. Tomorrow, I'll be allowed to skip school to see him for possibly the final time. Now, here's the problem: He doesn't know he's dying. Yet. I've been told not to say anything, but I feel like I know him more than my mother does. They are divorced, after all. Me and my dad prefer honesty over false happiness, so what I'm asking is, should I tell him?

I suspect that even if I don't, he'll figure it out eventually. He's a smart man, and discover things quicker than the average person. He could've become a detective, if he wanted too.

I also need advice on a more... Personal matter. Forgive me if any of the following sounds a bit selfish.
It's my final year of school, and I have exams only a few month away. I can't help but believe that my dads death will affect my performance at said exams, after all, when my cat died, it took over a month to get over him, but at least it wasn't near any life changing tests.

With my dad... I'll never get over him. He's the person I love the most in this world. Yes, even more so than my mother. That may sound horrible, but it's true. The amount he's done for me is endless. 
I need to know a way to cope with his death while also under the pressure of exams. Unlike in the past, if you fail these, that's it. You can't retake them. My dad is the one who kept me going through life, and I don't want to fail him now. I'd never forgive myself.

I thinks that's all I have to say at the moment. I'll be saying this now: I'm not an active person. I've got a very busy life, so you probably won't see me much on here.
Goodbye, and thanks for reading. :)
