me and my dad: How do I tell my dad I had an accident that he is going to have to pay for because I am a minor?
Question Posted Saturday October 6 2012, 8:29 pm
So i went over my friends laura house, and we went to with these boys on their mopeds. Even though we wearnt supposed to. While we were on the mopeds we had stopped at this car wash. One of the cars that were getting washed had their car door open, the boy i was with had told me to hang out to the break, but i had already told him i dont know how to drive a moped but he didnt listen and he let me take control and that's when i recked the car door.
They called the police, and since im a miner they told me my parents will have to pay for it. Im not as worried about the money as i am about my dads dissapointment in me. I want to tell him i just dont know how, and how i should take it.. im 13 years old.

He'll be much, much more disappointed in you if he hears about what happened from the police or someone else. Take that angle with it when you talk to him. Start out by saying that you didn't want him to hear it from someone else. Tell him how terrible you feel. Tell him you'll pay him back. Tell him how hard it was to tell him about it and that you've learned your lesson, but if wants to give you a punishment that you'll take it, whatever it is. Coming off as completely sad and sorry like this should help you in the long run. It's going to be very, very hard to approach him and tell him these things, but it's something that you just have to do. There's no way around it. Good luck.

He can't be disappointed in you forever, you know. He'll eventually get over it.
