Help I cracked my phone

[ramen.jpg]

As the title says I cracked my phone and I'm freaking out because I don't know what to do because if I tell my parents then they're gonna be SO angry at me and probably yell at me and freak out but I feel like if I don't tell them and they ask to borrow my phone or something then they'll probably get even more angry and I just don't know what to do

Tell them, either way they will know about it soon or later

How did you crack your phone?

Yeah you should just tell them, like Taiko said, and get it over with.

Hide it, always keep the phone in ur pocket, don't take it out around your parents.

You could try calling child protective services on the house phone.

Um I don't think it's that bad I just think my dad is going to hit me or something

there are lots of places that fix phone screens other than your cell phone provider, at least where i live, so see if you can find out about one and get it fixed yourself if it's really serious
if not, see if you can ask another family member like maybe an older sibling who's an adult or another adult relative to help you get it fixed?
if you need to tell them you could also see how much money you have or borrow enough money and bring it up casually like ask for a ride to go get it fixed because you'll pay for it, it usually makes them less mad if you take responsibility right away. i'm really clumsy so i used this tactic a lot haha

remember that it was just an accident and a piece of glass, everyone breaks things from time to time. it can be easily fixed so don't panic

It was an accident. If your dad hits you because you accidentally broke your phone, you need to tell someone, like a teacher or call a help line.

It was an accident bean. :c they shouldn't hit you and if they do its very wrong and you need to tell someone you trust about it. Tell them about it sooner rather than later, and if you're scared about them being mad, maybe negotiate with them about you doing excess chores or maybe paying half if they get the phone fixed.

Whether you believe it or not, if your dad hits you because you accidentally cracked your phone, sorry, that's abusive. No regular person would hit someone over an accident like that, let alone their own kid.

you should tell them, or at least your mom, if shes less abusive than your dad is. and that's not healthy to be hit by someone, accident or not. good luck

 

[ellsieotter]

omg he shouldn't hit you over an accident, or for any reason really. how old are you? :/ that is definitely the definition of abusive and you should tell someone if he does that

idk about your area, but in mine there are several cell phone repair shops (mostly for iPhone but they fix other phones too). there is usually one in the mall. you could either get it fixed, or come clean about it and say it was truly an accident. I hope it all works out

 

[HungryForCereal]

only way is to tell them if you want to get it fixed. they'll be the one providing the money to have it fixed not you soo...

Hide it. I managed to hide mine for 6 years until I eventually needed it to take to school and went to this dangerous part of town to get it fixed. But if it's really bad like one time my friend broke this really old iPad and it had the insides of a drawing tablet. It looked like metal bars and I saw the glass part that came off. His parents didn't care weirdly.

Is your phone under warranty?
I think at times we have all been scared of our parents. It depends to what extent as to whether it is abusive or not.
Whether people agree or disagree, a lot of parents use physical discipline with their kids. Has your dad ever hit you before? Is it that he gets really angry when you've done something? My mom would get very angry at me at times as a kid, I was definitely scared of stepping out of line and that wasn't a bad thing. I remember breaking my new touch screen phone when I was 16 and she wasn't best pleased having to get me another.
Only you know your situation, would he normally get so mad at you over something that was an accident?
If your mom is the calmer of the two, could you maybe talk to her on your own?

Oh and I was saying about the warranty, with things like Apple phones I know they come with 12 months free and you can take your phone to them. Not sure how it works with accidents and things like that. I took my phone to them when the headphone thing broke and they just replaced the phone. That's assuming you've got an Apple phone. But I'm sure other models would also carry a warranty, maybe worth having a look?

I don't think hiding is going to solve this issue. You should just come clean and say that you are coming clean because you only get into more trouble trying to hide it. Once it gets fixed I recommend getting a bulky case for your phone. I cannot tell you how many times I have dropped this phone and it's 100% fine because of the case.

If your dad attempts to hit you say: "Are you going to hurt me over an accident? They happen to everyone." And if an accident hasn't happened to you in a while add that as well.

Remember that bad times, are just times that are bad. Good luck soldier

^ lol. I agree a good case like otter box will be good. Otter box is the best actually. My friend at school said he dropped his phone 2 stories at a mall inTo the Starbucks his sister works at and she gave it back to him later with no damage. But I used to not have an otter box. If you're good at hiding then that's a good idea to use. But if you're not then just don't... I bought a fake iPhone online and I left it out and I was fine. Once my mom tried looking something up on it and I said my phone was dead.
