car crash
this weekend i was with my brother and some of his friends and we were all driving around in my new car a 2007 escalade. I was driving adn it was raining and late at night and i have only had my license for about 3 months. we were coming around the corner and hit another car totaling mine and theirs. right away my brother took the blame for it and told me not to worry about it since he has been driving for a few eyars now and wouldnt get in as much trouble as i would. since the other car didnt see i was driving it worked out fine but now i feel awful that he took the blame for this but i know that if i came forward my parents would kill me. they are making him pay for a new car and he is grounded for like a month and i keep telling him that i will tell them but he wont listen to me what should i do

I think you need to tell your parents. Not only is it the right thing to do, but you won't feel the guilt of keeping it a secret. But if your brother absolutley won't let you tell, than just help him pay for the new car. Well you shud help him pay for it weather you tell your parents or not. Hope i've helped!!!

Well if your brother dosnt care then just don't worry about it. thats all i have to say. Just tell him you will help pay for a new car. Idk, if you don't want to tell your parents then theres nothing else to do. Don't tell your parents, and just don't worry about it

your brother is verrry nice to take all the blame for this. I would do one of these:
:Tell him that you are very thankful and ask him what you can do to return the favor
:Help him get the money to buy the new car secretly
:Tell your parents.
You just have to think about what you think is best. Because he is grounded for a month, to make him feel better, instead of going out on friday night with all your friends, stay home with him and watch movies once in a while, just to let him know that you feel really bad.

i think that, going by my morals, you should fess up.
it might get you in alot of trouble. but it would clear your conscience, and you would feel alot better.
your parents might 'kill you' now, but in the end they will know they can have mroe trust in you to tell the truth.
trust is a big thing with parent relationships.
if i were in your situation, i would tell my mom or dad when your brother is there and tell your brother beforehand what youre going to say.
also make sure to tell them that none of it was your brothers fault. you will probably be in trouble for a while, but it will turn out for the better in the end.
because if you dont tell them now, they will find out later, its pretty much how parents are.
good luck, hope i helped (:

Your brother taking the blame for you, was very nice of him, but you shouldn't let him do that. You didn't hit the other car on purpose. I'm sure you parents will be angry, but I think they'll understand. After all, like I said, it wasn't on purpose. I think you should just sit your parents down, and explain to them, that you panicked, and allowed him to take the blame, I'm sure you'll be punished, but I think they'll be proud that you didn't let you brother take the blame. That he may have at first, but you decided to take responsibilty for your actions.
Hope I've helped. Let me know if you need anything else. :]

If he honestly doesn't want you to tell them, then don't. But you should talk to him about paying him back for the car your parents are making him pay for. Set up a payment plan with him. If you have a job, give him some percent of your paycheck. He may not accept your offer to tell your parents the truth, but he may accept your offer to pay him back for the car you totalled.
Hope this helped!
