Someone help :(

It's hard to say until you get someone to look at it. Whatever you did, it's something that will need to be fixed.

Like I said, I would definitely not tell him you punched it. There is no doubt that you need to tell him you broke it, but saying you punched it is the worst thing you can possibly say. Punching a tv really isn't an accident at all and he definitely won't see it as one. I wouldn't blame him for getting pissed about it either considering you could have punched anything else and it would have been a million times better than a tv. Tell him ANYTHING else but that. Say you tripped and fell into it or something. I remember I punched a hole in my parent's bedroom wall once. My dad was more pissed then I had ever seen him before and he's a very relaxed and laid back person.

 

You permanently damaged it, The pixels in your TV are dead.

You should just tell your dad honestly and apologize but don't tell him that you smacked the TV because you were mad at your mom.

Just say it was an accident, Lying is bad but telling the truth and getting a beating from your dad will get him arrested.

 

Aw man.. So if I perm damaged this TV, then I'm forced to buy a new one.

Ha, I guess karma is a bitch

Isn't this just a great way to start the 16th year of my life? Yeah me...

 

Personally, I think if you just be honest with him, you'll be golden.

Question: How did you break it?

 

I would offer to buy him a new one and say you're fully prepared to do so, and hopefully he'll say "No. I'm not going to make you pay for it. It was an accident and accidents happen." then you'll get a big hug and some ice cream yay ice cream!

 

You got 2 options here >_<

1 : Pay your dad and Apologize.

2 : RUN

 

My opinion is.. Be honest to him and offer him to buy him a new tv, he'll either ask you to buy his new tv or yell at you and forgive you. I mean we all make mistakes.

 

Update!

So, I didn't find the balls to personally confront my dad, so, I decided on sending him a email. And well, I haven't gotten a response back at all.. My dad is still acting normal and all, however, I know that he has read my email. He hasn't even checked the TV to see what is wrong...

What in the world is going on? I'm literally confused. This is a $1000 TV and my dad is acting as if nothing happened. Someone help? >_< :huh:

 

Where is your dad when all this happened? Also no harm would be done in taking it to a TV repair man just incase he can fix it. Saves you $900+.

 

My dad is currently working on a new house for us; so he's quite busy 24/7, literally.

I think my dad knows what happened since I'm pretty sure he's read my email, but I just don't know :/

 

He's probably acting normal because he is disappointed that you EMAILED him about it. He's your dad dude, not a random Walmart employee or your teacher that you can email telling her you forgot to do your homework. His semen brought you into the world!

 

lol is he going to beat you?
no
so just ell him
Email ? lol thats sad

 

You don't know how it broke.

 

If I were him, I'd beat you just for sending an email. You should have at least called him. Did you tell him you punched it?

 

Ah fml... I've broken other things too such as a window in my house, punching a hole through a wall, etc... Please don't say I have anger issues b/c I do realize I do have some anger issues.. However though, what in the world do I do now? It seems like from you guys, sending the email was a bad idea..

 

Go up to him and tell him straight up what you did. If you wait to long the pressure is just going to build up on you and make you feel worse and worse. Get it of your chest now while you can, and he will more than likely be glad for your honesty about the issue. Have you ever heard the old saying honesty is the less policy? If you fess up to it he will respect you for your honesty, and the consequences will probably come out to be considerably less.

Since you did break his T.V. I would say that it is only right for you to at least offer to pay for a new one, or maybe even half of the cost or something along those lines. More than likely in the end he won't actually make you pay for it considering you are still a kid, so really I wouldn't worry about it too much.

If you need any more help with the issue feel free to send me a pm. Best of luck!

 

Of course sending an email was a bad idea. Put yourself in your dad's position. Telling him in person, calling him, or even a text for that matter would have been much better than an email. Windows and walls are one thing, but a tv is a whole different story. There isn't anything else you can do now besides wait. Did you tell him that you punched it? Has he not been home yet?

 

How did you break it?

If you broke it by messing around the settings, tell me the details of your TV or go to customer support from wherever you bought it and they could help you fix it - not sure if it's free, but better than buying a new TV, or going on YouTube and searching it.

If you broke it phisically, then it's better getting the professionals to do it. Make sure it's not broke just because you pulled out some cables by accident.

Best wishes,

As others have said be honest. Not many ways for a TV to break. If you're an only child then it would be dumb to even try to lie your way out.

Is the TV new? Never know, might be covered by a warranty.

Also are you sure you broke something? When you say you can't hear or see anything, may just be something simple. Have you checked all the wiring and what not... could just be loose.

 

Be honest with him and pray to all the gods that he forgives you and doesn't throw you out the window lol
