how shall i tell my parents i lost my phone? (they are not the nicest and understanding parents, and theyre quite violent) so im rlly scared to tell em
if you guys have personal experience plz halp
Tell them. If they are abuse level violent: run.
@GrinningBobcat Tell them. If they are abuse level violent: run.
unfortunately i live in an apartment so not dat easy
Think about it this way
Option a) tell them and get in trouble for losing your phone
Option b) wait until they find out and get in trouble for lying(hiding it) AND losing it
Which do you think they'd be more annoyed by
Say your dog ate it!
Serious answer, just say it was stolen. If you think that'd be worse, just tell the truth I guess.
Admiting your mistake is usully best but as grinning said run if needed. Have you explore other options for finding it? Retracing your steps, find my phone apps maybe
Do you use Google maps get on a pc log in to your google account depending on settings it may have a lit of the places your phone has gone and then go to the last place on list
Tell them when you are outside. Don't trust them till they calm down and even then be cautious. If we are talking about latina mom ass whooping with the flip flop then just embrace it. If it's child abuse level of whooping where you are bleeding then there's an issue
When I was a kid, I lost my dad's really nice military flashlight while riding my bike. My dad isn't abusive at all but it was a really nice flashlight that I had lost. I would recommend going to a well trusted friend's house after school (without telling your parents if you think they will recognize you are missing quickly) and call them. tell them that you lost it and that you love them, and then tell them who you are with and where. Hopefully they will calm down before they com to get you, or if you doubt they will, call them from a friend's phone at school and tell a teacher if you think you will get beaten for it. This is a sucky situation but I hope you get out of it.
Ok, check your phone plan, was it scheduled to get upgraded? What kind of phone was it? When did you get it? How long have you had a phone?
say that you dropped it down the drain
Show you parents this thread as proof of your struggles with them
find it!
@Pimpcy Show you parents this thread as proof of your struggles with them
I agree with pimpcy on this one
I'm an old man with 3 kids so I know s thing or 2...
Venetorem had it right, better to own up to it than to be in trouble for multiple problems all at once. Personally I forgive my kids for more than they expect if they save me the time of playing detective. Plus they may not appreciate you putting yourself at risk by being out of touch without their knowledge.
If you want to try to soften the blow, tell them you have something important you need to talk with them about and then give them time to worry about all the horrible things you may have done like burglary, arson, unwanted pregnancy, etc. then break the news that it's a lost phone.
It wouldn't hurt to offer to be extra helpful around the house and work off your debt.
Good luck.
@TheMightyDrex find it!
haha yeah i went to school early that day(band excuses) (how do you know ur gonna lose a bet if you dont bet at all) and betted on finding it b4 my parents know, and i found it!

@Pimpcy Show you parents this thread as proof of your struggles with them
Why did I find this funny. I am horrible.
I agree you need to tell them, If you are really scared tell them somewhere in public or with other parents or grandparents around to curb physical violence.

congrats I hope you learned something from all this. Like you have friends here you can talk to. take better care of your phone.
@humfrydog am I a bad person for laughing at that?
If you didn't find your phone, should just tell them you got jumped
Since no one else is addressing this:
If your parents are actually that violent towards you, tell someone NOW. Whether or not you're okay with it or used to it, that is not okay in the slightest and beyond illegal. I understand you not wanting your parents to get in trouble but they're shit parents if they fucking beat and abuse you.

I assumed he was exaggerating.

im not sure of the difference between abuse and discipline.I feel like if I do something bad and I get beaten OK, but if I was a total accident I rlly don't feel like it.
What state are you in the laws aren't hidden can look them up online

Flip flop or belting ones with moderated strength is discipline I woul consider, much better than getting grounded

whats grounding? ive never been "grounded"
Grounding is when your parents take your electronics/other privileges.
@humfrydog I agree you need to tell them, If you are really scared tell them somewhere in public or with other parents or grandparents around to curb physical violence.
"Tell them somewhere in public"
My parents would have still beat my ass. Actually, they did it once in public.
@OtherGreenGamer Say your dog ate it!
I don't think @iDogeTwinkie will appreciate being blamed for something he didn't do.
