How to tell my dad that I scaratched my car?

Honesty is always the best option. When you drive a car you are exercising an adult privilege and have adult responsibilities. Act like that adult and tell your father what you've done, and accept whatever happens. If you lie and your father finds out (which he will), the consequences will be much worse.

He who lies needs a good memory. Man up and tell your dad the truth, he can only kill you once but at least you won't spend the rest of your (and his) being untrustworthy in his eyes.

just come out and tell him.

When in doubt, get out and look. Almost and I thought does not work when driving. Tell him you messed up, accept the responsibility for your error. Change your habits to improve your skill.

It is unfortunate that lies and misleading statements and information is so common today. We have one thing of value more than anything else, and that is personal integrity, and the second most important is self-esteem. Although a "white lie" can be said to make someone feel better such as "you'll be OK", or "help is coming", and maybe the "You look fine" lie to ease anxiety, most lies we tell take away a piece of us that we can't get back. To tell your dad exactly what happened and accept whatever the consequences, it shows a sense of responibility and is something to feel good about. To tell some kind of story is more of a weight on you and that is what you should feel bad about. Also, when something happens that you describe, it's not your things to be concerned about and is instead what damage is done to other people's possessions. We own things. They break, wear out, obsolete, and can be fixed or replaced, or maybe they should not have been owned. The thing you should be concerned about is WHY you are afraid to tell your dad what happened. What is it about you or your dad that is wrong with your relationship? If things are a they should be, he loves you and cares about you, and if he gets annoyed, it shouldn't last long. He should only be looking to give you guidance. What is your plan to avoid it in the future? Tell him what happened, and try to get the issue about your neighbor fixed, and drive with more care.

Everyone is always afraid of how their parents will react to what they've done wrong. I'm sure he'll understand. If you come out and tell him the clean truth he'll be happier than if you lied and got caught. It'll also feel a lot better than carrying a lie on your shoulders.

You need to just tell him. Especially if our mom already knows. Telling him a lie puts your mom in a very awkward position. Besides as I parent I would appreciate hearing the truth from my kids first than from a neighbour, if the neighbour saw it.....
