car crash
My brother and i were in a car accident recently and i was driving and totaled my brand new escalade. he told the police and our parents that he was the one driving so i wouldnt get in trouble since i only had my license for a few months and he has had his for about 6 years. i feel horrible about the whole thing tho and i cant figure out what to do. should i tell my parents the truth of just let it be?

i recently went through a similar problem but it wasn't a car crash. When my brother went to camp for a weekend I went in his room and played with his video games. (which I never get to play cuz we don't get along so great) I left without any evidence that I was in there. But my sister was in there with me and left my bath robe in his room. So he immediatley told my parents I went in his room. I did go in but I really couldn't get grounded I had a party that weekend. Anyway it ended up I lied to my parents about ever going in there and amazingly they said that maybe he purposly put it in there to get back at me. So I was off the hook and afterward I felt so guilty. So then I couldn't stand it anymore, I came clean. Sure I missed the party but it felt like some giant weights hanging me down just came lose. To feel as I did and in your heart knowing you did the right thing- tell your parents the truth, they should leave the grouding up to them and not the police so I think it's best if it goes on his record instead of yours just because you got your licence. But if you feel guilty for that then confess to the police as well. Sorry I wrote so much but I think this is the only way I can give you the best advice I can give.

Yes telling the truth is the right thing to do seeing as your letting someone els take resonsibility for YOUR actions. If your redy to face the concequences then you should tell the truth.
Hope this helps!

If this were me, I would tell my parents the truth. I know a lot of people would not, but I hate feeling guilty. I don't know your parents, however, my guess is that if you did tell them, they will punish you in some way (maybe taking away driving privleges, etc.). In my opinion though, I think it is better to face your problems; there are worse tings in life that could have happened. I am sure your parents are thankful that you & your brother did not get hurt and I think you should be happy you are alright too. I know it will suck if they punish you, but always remebr things could be worse. I think if you tell them, all though it may not seem like it when you do, they will realize how responsible you are for admitting it. I also don't think it's right to let your brother be blamed for something he didn't do...if my sister totaled a car & maded me take the blame I would not be a happy camper. In the end, it's up to you to do what feels right, but if it wereme I would tell them. GOOD LUCK.

well if it's still bothering you, you should tell them. Because just think about it...sooner or later they will end up finding out. If you just let it be you will constantly just keep thinking about it and be feeling guilty for the rest of your life. Just get it over with and tell them...try to handle the consequences the best that you can...be strong.
Hope I helped!

you should tell your parents. sure you'll get in trouble but its better than goin on the rest of your life knowing that you were the one who recked the car and not your brother. you will feel a lot better about yourself if you tell them the truth than if you kept lieing. sorry about you accident by the way. are you and your brother okay?
