My friend and I had a party at my friends house over the weekend and I guess you could say it got out of control! The house was a mess and a few things were broken and there were stains on the carpet and stuff. We thought we were clear because her parents didn’t notice anything when they got home, but last night my friend called me and was like my parents know! And now my parents are probably going to find out and then I’m going to be grounded for even longer than I am now! What should I do? Should I tell my parents before they hear it from someone else? I wish I could think of a good excuse to tell them! hah

my friend told her parents that i was spending the night at her house so they know that her and i both had the party together...and since her parents know that they will probably call my parents since parents r like that!

You might as well fess up, since they will find out anyways. It will be better coming from you than from someone else.
Next time, maybe you'll think before doing something like this.

Well they might give you some leniency by showing you are honest and guilty from not being honest from the start. Better to get it over with sooner then later. Also go see your friends parents and take part of the responsibility there as well. They will appreciate it. Maybe they have some work around the house you can do to make up for the trust you have broken.

Well, I know I should say that you should tell the truth. But if I was you, I would just wait until, or if they even find out. It is already Wednesday night, so them finding out now vs. a few days will not make a big difference.
I was in one like this. I skipped school, and when I was home, both of my neighbors who my parents talk to everyday knew I was home at noon. My parents never found out. So you can get lucky, but you might be screwed this time.

You really should tell them yourself! It will make things a lot worse if they hear it from someone else!
They will have one less reason to be cross with you!
Be prepared for 1001 questions on what went on at the party, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc!
Talk with them calmly and remember, they do have a right to be cross with you, as you did something you knew was wrong and it could have ended in disaster!
I'm sure that once they calm down, they'll appreciate the fact you told them about it, which could make them go easy on you, but you'll have your work cut out now trying to earn their trust back!
Good luck!

You need to tell them because it will be so so so much worse if they don't find out from you. Just tell them that you threw a party and it got a little crazy and you know it was wrong and your really sorry. Or if your like me and too cowardly to tell them in person - write a letter. But make sure to take total blame and not say its a teenager thing or its no big deal. they usually have more respect for youif you say you know it was wrong and it was totally your fault. Next time make better choices.
Good luck:)

I'm sorry about this incident--it wasn't your fault. I'm also sorry that so many answers state that it is your fault this happened. If I were you I would go up to your parents prepared for a punishment of some kind. Explain that you went to a out of control party and it turned out badly. Also apoligize for lying to them(if you did about going) and say this was a mistake that you made and have learned from it. Then tell them that it would be okay if they were dissapointed in you, and that you would understand. Apoligize again. Good luck, I'm sorry this happened.

Wow... you are in a deep one. Well, I guess you could them if you know they are gonna find out sometime. You can tell them how it wasnt suppose to go that way- become a mess but it did. They might be mad but they'll get over it. Good luck... Are your parents close to your friend's parents? Does her parents know you were involved?

Yes, definitely tell them yourself first. This will not only impress them with your maturity of being up front with them but will neutralize, to some degree, the inevitable phone call from your friend's parents.

Admit now, and take the punishment. They will respect you more if you don't wait until they bring it up, and may be a tad bit more lenient. This is the mature thing to do.

Just tell your parents. Its not only the right thing to do but it could get out of alot of trouble if you are truthful about it!
