Help me! I'm a good kid turned bad seed.?

Question

I am 13 years old, and I got an ipod touch last september. I got the 2.0 upddate, which means I have new applications and I can buy more if I want. I started by getting, about, 10 free ones, but then I see a solitare game for 1.99. Then I thought, "Hmm. I have that money, I'll just buy it on his credit card and pay him back when he gets home. Well that 1.99 quickly turned to 19.99. I still had the money though, there was nothing to worry about, until my dad gets the bill. $70 I somehow spent! Somehow, I let it get the best of me! He's not trusting me now, and I have always been the perfectly trustworthy kid. I'm not exaggerating! I want him to know that I made a mistake and I won't do it again. What do I say? What do I do?

P.S. He's not really a pushover.

Answer 1

I think the best thing you can do is earn the money to pay him back. Mow lawns, rake leaves, babysit, or see what elderly neighbors need errands run. An apology and a promise to not do it again is great. But working hard to pay off the debt will show him that you can be responsible and trustworthy again.

Answer 2

tell him you're sorry and pay him back.

don't feel too bad though. i mean gee, i thought you did something bad. i do worse stuff then that and i always manage to make things right :/

Answer 3

you suck.

you blew it.

great job.

Answer 4

it may take a while but you will win back your dads trust.  you said you have always been a good kid so this being the case,  your dad will see you made a mistake and see you for what you are.  the good trustworthy kid that he raised you to be.  in the meantime,  if you haven't already, go to him with a sincere apology and tell him that you just got a littke carried away.  good luck...

Answer 5

Sounds like you are addicted. At least you were for that day. Trust is something NO RELATIONSHIP can do without. Children often unwillingly will do things to cause parents to mistrust them. Yes it even happens to the GOOD ONES TOO ! Does it make you untrustworthy ? Not necessarily, your Dad needs to remember your track record. If this is the First time you have done this, then he should think about the fact that your only human. We make mistakes. I could understand if you were always doing things like this. Then he would have a reason to mistrust you. Don't get excited yet I am not saying that your in the right. You must understand that having done this you will need to prove yourself to your parents. You will need to regain their trust in you again. While it's NOT going to be easy , and it will take a bit of work on your part. It's a long road , but that should be a lesson learned and hopefully you will once again be that trusted kid that was honest. Also next time you want to buy something using his CREDIT CARD , ASK FIRST ! Don't just assume it to be alright with him !

Good luck and I hope things work out for you !
