Well, first you might want to confess to a public, anonymous forum like Dear Cupid. Test it out. Try it on for size. And get constructive feedback!! Practicing is always a good thing, it'll get you ready to hear the truth come out of your mouth.
Realize how much lighter you will feel once you tell the truth. You may have a lie, or you may be withholding information and maybe when you drop the bomb, people will be mad for a little while. But, think of the weight you're carrying around... it will be well worth a couple of days, weeks of drama. Then a lifetime of relief.
Most of the time, the longer that you keep the truth hidden, the worse the repercussions are. And keep reminding yourself of your strength, and when people get upset, just keep giving yourself a pep talk in your head, "I can get through this, I am strong. This too, shall pass."
Good luck, sweet!

Well it depends what it's about and who is effected by it... But usually the best thing you can do is to sit that person down and tell them that you need to get something off your chest. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to come out with it and the person will probably be more upset about the situation than they would have been if you'd come out with it straight away. Honestly, the sooner you get it over and done with the better.
Before you tell the person whatever is going on, think of what you're going to say. It's best to be prepared as you're likely to get nervous and might forget what you wanted to say so practise beforehand. Well and then all you can do is tell yourself that you will feel better once you have told the truth.
