I dented my first car and scared to tell parents?

Tell them what happened, why lie? Then tell them you've learnt from your mistake and will be a lot more careful in the future as you realise that could have been a small child behind your car.

You have just reached the stage which all new drivers go through where confidence exceeds ability. Every new driver has an incident which brings them up short and makes them realise they still have a lot to lean. Some are lucky (I was one) and get away with a near miss. Others not so lucky dent their pride and joy. The very unlucky ones either kill themselves, or worse, someone else.

You've got away relatively unscathed from yours. Learn from it and take more care next time. If a cell phone was involved; lock it in the trunk before you get behind the wheel.

Don't lie - you are too old for that. Auto parts stores sell paintless dent repair kits. They don't work well on creased dents but it sounds like yours ought to pull out pretty well. See the video in the source.

tell them the truth best thing my young son backed into mail box learning to drive i was in there with him i told both my sons when they started driving i knew they would have a wreck just not to drive fast and like a race car driver they both had minor wrecks i didnt yell it them knew it was going to happen tell your parents its part of the reponsibility of driving to be grown up and not to try and cover up your mistakes

Tell them. Or find a quick handy man.
