Authority figures will be especially helpful to you now: but it won't seem that way at first. In fact, you probably won't know what they're talking about when they first bring up the issue, no matter how hard they try to explain it to you. The good news is that if you force them to go over the situation with you, they'll be able to see the problems and what's confusing about it. Go ahead and ask. Don't hesitate to keep digging until they're clear.
