Camera
I don't know what to do. My camera slipped out of my hands. And obviously the lens broke.
My dad will kill me and yell at me. Because it was $300. He's going to make me feel like an worthless idiot who isn't responsible for a stupid little camera.
I've had the camera for like a year it was one little accident.
And I dont know what to do.
Should I try to get money and buy a new one?
Should I hide it? My dad wants to use the camera but I'm afraid he will bite my head off.
I dont know.
I'm scared of him.
Any help?

Hey-
Even though you may not like this.. you should just confront your dad and tell him that you accientally dropped your camera and that you are really sorry (which I'm sure you are..)
He shouldn't get very mad- but if he does- tell him that you'll pay to repair it by doing extra chores around the house (what parent doesn't like to see kids do chores.. lol)
When you make the money- repair it.. (obviously)
just keep telling your dad it was an accident- he'll eventually forgive you
Hope I helped
Let me know how it goes!

Even though you're scared, I would suggest telling him cause believe me, if you wait a long time and he finds the camera, you'll probably be in even bigger trouble.
Just wait till he's sitting at home [ and not in a bad mood or anything ] and be like,"Dad, I accidentally dropped the camera and I know, you're going to think I'm irresponsible but I'll work doing chores or whatever you need me to do to pay it off. I'm sorry." [ or something like that ]
I don't think you need to go get a new one, though. I was taking pictures with my grandmother's camera and I dropped it and I made the little zoomer thing crooked and it was all screwy but I went and told my grandma right away and she was like,"It's ok. I'm glad you told me." And she went to some store [ I think it was just an electronics store ] and they took it and fixed it. Now, I don't know if we broke the same thing or what, but you can try taking it to an electronics store or something and seeing if they can do anything about it before you just go and get rid of it. It might save you some money. I hope I helped! <3

Well he willfind out sooner or later so just go up and tell him. Im sure it will make him more happy that you tell him and dont let him find out yourself (but he will probably still me wayy mad). Mistakes happen you just have to deal with them. Maybe tell him that you will save up so you can buy a new one or something.

ummm you know what i would do??? i would just come straight out and tell him!!! so what if he gets mad just tell him your sorry for being so irresponsible and say that i will work off the $300 if you don't wanna work off the $300 dollars for the camara then tell him you will by a new 1 with ur own money if that doesn't work for you or him well then i guess you in big trouble thats my advice it's up too you to take it!!!

I think every kid has gone through something similar to this.
Believe me though, it is much better to just tell your dad about it. If you try to hide it he will eventually find it or find out and you will get in more trouble.
Try to make a deal with him about getting a new one, maybe grades, chores, a job, money, anything with one of those?
Well goodluck! I hope it works out for you.

You need to tell your dad. Yes he will probly yell && scream && give you the "your not responsible lecture" But the yelling youll get for just telling him will be alot but if he finds out that youve been hiding it for a while he will yell && scream ten times more.
Tell him that it was a accident & tell him that you will work to pay to get it fixed. Either in the form of money or even chores around the house.
If you have the users manual or the paperwork that came with the camera. You may have a warranty on the camera && it still may be in taxt since you have only had the camera for a year. I would see if you do. if so they may be able to fix the lense. No it wont be free but its better then buying a brand new camera.
any more questions just leave one in my inbox.

now it depends on your warrenty and instructions in your cameras booklet, but trust me, they wont just give you a new camera BUT for a replacement fee of maybe $100 or more, you might be able to send it in to TRY and be fixed....but if they cant fix it youre pretty much screwed (my camera was beyond dead so i didnt bother) but im thinking that maybe they can replace the lense if thats all that broke...probably...so there is still hope ok..

Hey,
I have read your problem,and I understand how you feel and how you are probably really scared that your dad will know about it. But you should not lie or hide it or do anything of the sort, becuase lying just puts a person in more trouble. So what you should do is that you should take your money or savings or whatever quantity of money you have and then borrow from a friend or just collect the rest of the money from anywhere, and then buy your dad a new one.
And be honest, and go tell him " Dad i did something wrong, and i know that you would be so mad at me, thats why i collected money to buy you a new camera because i broke the lens of the other by accident." And believe me, being honest and saying the truth will really help you in this situation, and your father will most probably get mad and say that you are not responsible and stuff, but he will appreciate how you are making it up for him and buying him a new one from your own money.
So take care and goodluck:)
