You must confess mortal (very serious) sins.
For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present:
There must be grave matter (some thing that is seriously, gravely wrong)
You must have full knowledge (you must be aware that it is seriously wrong)
You must have complete consent (you must freely and voluntarily commit the sin)
If one, two, or all of these conditions are not present in a sin, the sin is venial (not as serious). Although confessing venial sins is not required, it is highly reccomended because doing this can help you to avoid sin in the future.
