I was practicing soccer and was kicking it against their fence and i kicked it too hard and high and it broke a little of the criss cross parts along the top. Should i just leave it? do you think they will notice or think it was me?

Own up to and offer to repair or replace the broken section. They will respect you for your honesty and taking responsibility for your actions.

Well, what you probably SHOULD do, is tell them you broke it, and tell them how you broke it (so they know it was really just accidental) and offer to fix it. They may not even accept the offer, but at least you will have been honest with them. That way, if someone else happened to see you do it and tells the neighbor...you won't look like a schmuck.

Be a man about it. It was an accident. Respect is something that has to be earned . By being honest and respectful (amongst other things ) towards others..

Tell your parents first then go to them and own up to it. Apologize and ask them what you can do to make it up. Offer to fix it, et cetera. Maybe in the end they won't care and will just accept your apology and they will just get it fixed themselves or let it go. If they are ****** neighbors then forget everything I just said.

Tell your parents first so they will know what is going on. Then, go tell the neigbors that you broke their fence, and offer to make it right.

Hehehe.
This is that classic american antic of breaking a window with a baseball. Do the right thing and offer to replace it!

alright heres what you do... you blame it on an inside job done by the government, that was done to check the durability of random fenses. and tell them that their fense was complete crap and they have to get a new one or move it to the england where people dont really care how sturdy your fense it... if they dont buy it then go to mexico, buy a sombraro so you dont get sun burn. eat tons of clam chowder (b/c you need your strength while in mexico) and start a life down there as Jose Pinero...... oh and btw be sure not to drink any water down there, you'll have horrible indesgestion

Admit to it and offer to pay to get it fixed. Remember, you have to live next to these people. It is better to live peaceable rather than with strife.
Also offering to pay will clear your conscience. It is already bugging you enough to admit it to anyone on yahoo answers to see.

Tell them the truth. Your life will be much easier with a carefree conscience. After you tell them, offer to help them repair it.
Good luck!
