Answer 1

be a man and fess up you will probably get worse punishment if they find out the truth. plus tell them you wil do whatever it takes to make up for the mistake they will respect you more.

if i fessed up as a kid and admitted to making a mistake and that i wanted to make up for it my parents usually let me off

Answer 2

Do you have insurance? Haha, but yes, say you were parked somewhere and while you were gone someone must have crashed into your car.

Answer 3

Is it your car or your parents car?

If its yours who gives a fudge you payed for it...

If it's theirs I would just go right ahead and admit it, but don't say you banged the car into a gate, say you parked it somewhere, came back and found a huge gouge on it

Just tell them somebody must have scratched it..

Answer 4

First of all I will make some assumptions.  As  you have no money it sounds as if your parents gave you the car, loaned you the car or its theirs' and you have been given permission to use it responsibly.

No one would believe that you had no idea how it got there so lieing is not an option. If you try you will insult them and all you tell the lie to.  This will be a greater mis-deed then that mentioned above.

You will have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed because you probably have a deductable on your auto insurance, so turning it in to the insurance company will not make sense for the reason above and if you do, at your age your insurance premium will sky rocket.

Being honest with your parents is always a good idea.  They understand you are young and you are going to make mistakes.  Their concern right now is how you deal with your mistakes and failures. Now tell the whole story, even the part where you might have had a little beer?

Oh, your parents are going to be pissed about it, and they are going to be a little disapointed in you for disobeying them, but they sort of expect that sort of thing and are ready to impart great wisdom your way.  You will certainly be asked to "come to Jesus".  Your parents probably did the same things when they were growing up and are just looking for any reason to tell you what grandpa or grandma told them.

Part of being a man is takeing your punishments like a man and owening up to your responsibilities.  Nothing worse then a little coward skulking around the house hiding things from their parents and trying to decieve the only people in his life he will be able to count on for the rest of their lives.  They are truely your freinds and due the respect of you treating them as such.  

My recommendation is - get an estimate on the repair at a paint and/or body shop.  Find a job or find some sort of barter.  Go to your parents and say:  Mom, dad I broke your trust and for that I am truly sorry, I feel terrible and full of remorse and regret.  Because of my actions I now have to tell you how the scratch appeared on the car.  I was doing something I should not have been doing, something you told me not to do.  Of course tell the gate story.  Now I have gotten an estimate from the body shop and they say it will be about this much.  I intend on paying for it the best way I can, through work of some sort or maybe you have something I can do to make up for this.  Now at this point they will forgive you, but will expect you to atone - which means you have to make some promises.  When you do make these promises they are to be kept by you.  Again, a man keeps his word (if you want to understand more about the man thing you will have to understand the "code of chivalry" - google it).  These promises you never break, and if they are to great you may not be able to do so, so you will have to be carefull what you agree to or propose to them.

I don't want to preach and it all sounds like something you would see Wally say to his parents (Leave it to Beaver), but its an adult, mans world out there and to earn respect you have to man-up.  Its what seperates men from boys.  The role models just are not out there for you guys these days and I feel so sorry for you, but you need to put yourself in a position to be around good, honest straight shooting men type role models.  

OK, I hope this helps.  Its a long answer to a simple question but what you learn now and how you relate to your parents will benefit you years from now.  Of course you could go the other route and learn the hard way.  But, you will learn either in poverty or success.

Answer 5

That's why you should not take the car without their permission. The best way to deal with it is tell your parents exactly what happened and also tell them that now you took your lesson, you realize why you should follow their rules and that you won't do it again. A responsible behaviour like this will get you off the hook. (However, I know you are not responsible enought to do what I say, but just fake it in order to get off easy).

Answer 6

you can,t! sorry, but parents always seem to know. your best bet is to just tell them, they will find out sooner or later, then it will be worse on you.
