scared of telling the truth
So I was cleaning out my room one day and I found my Nintendo Ds. I got it for one of my birthdays, from my parents. So I was on the phone with a guy I really like/love and so I offered it to him because I didn't want it anymore and I new he was looking gor one online. So I gave him it and a few games a few days after I found it. Now my dad keeps asking where it is. I keep lying and saying my friends are borrowing it. He says I need to get it back. When I asked if it would be ok with him if I gave it away as sombodys bday present he automatically said "No". He was like " If you arn't going to play it then give it back to me!" and that really got me mad because the only reason he wants it is so he can play it! I'm afraid to tell anybody. I am going to tell my mom but then I still have to tell my dad. How can I be less scared and tell him? I already know he will most likely ground me for it.

What we won't do for love...but would they do it back for us? Now I believe you knew it was a little sneaky and that your Dad would not approve when you did it...hence the secrecy. Lies only make it worse. Your Dad is not the selfish one here, you are. You used it to impress a guy...someone you will not even like a year from now..maybe a lot sooner. Be honest about your transgression with your Dad. He deserves it. Growing up is about learning to do the right thing even when it is scary. You will respect yourself a whole lot more when you tell the truth and live the truth. Overall this is a tiny boo-boo, but a good time to learn this valuable lesson. Make sure and tell your parents you finally get that and they will be more understanding.

I would tell him the truth and if he lets you let your boyfriend keep them, say thanks. If he dosen't he might help you get a way to get them back. Hope this helps!

I'd just tell him the truth. Avoiding it for as long as you can will probably just make it worse for yourself. Yeah, he'll be mad, I would too if I spent that money and you just gave it away, but if you wait, it's just going to make it worse. Just be honest with him.

My parents are the same exact way, which is why I think twice before giving stuff away. You gotta understand them though, even though your dad isn't a kid, it's his money, and it doesn't mean he can't appreciate it more than you would. There's really nothing to be done now, except to go ahead and tell them what you've done. It would be really rude to ask your crush to give it back, not to mention you'd probably get on his bad side, but for next time, it's never a good idea to try and win someone over by giving them things. Most people will just end up taking advantage of you. A grounding isn't really that bad. The hard part will probably be apologizing and trying to gain his trust back. But then again, they're parents; the only beings who'll always love you no matter what. Good luck <3.
