Well I got in a car accident for the first time and i'm sixteen. The story is I slowed down instead of a complete stop at a four way stop. I took a sharp left turn and it had rain all day...When my wheels got into mud I lost control and hit the cement block railing to the right of the rode. Both my airbags went off in the car. No one else was in the car, thankfully. I was scared but I seriously thought I had died. But I didnt cause well i'm writing this question. I called my dad telling him i wrecked the car and it was my fault. He said to call the police and that "I was on my own!" I bawled my eyes out. I know he was angry but seriously he might of responded the wrong way...sooo the cops showed up in 5 minutes or so and a very nice lady pulled up and told me I was lucky to be alive and that my parents will forget about it and that my life was more important than a car. When the cops came. the guy was more of a douche of all douches in the land...For real now he was giving me crap about wrecking my car and how nice it was...blah blah blah, so i waas like okay im going to ignore all those comment and well just let you do the papers and that stuff. Long story short... i'm a good teenager, I don't do drugs, drink...etc anything in that general area...i'm a happy person and a good student with good grades. And for this to happen I feel like I've messed up big time and i'm not use to anything in this situation. So this is when my question comes into play, how do I overcome my emotions of feeling like a failure??? And i;m worried about my parents insurance spiking up and my ability to be able to drive my car ever again. Our insurance is already high cause of my mother who has a past of many speeding tickest and accidents with hitting other cars.
And please don't tell me I deserved it. It was my fault....I know...and please don't make fun...cause if you were ever in a car accident you would be shaken up as well.
I've learned my lesson and i've said sorrry so much. when I got home my mom was scared for me and was worried but glad nothing was wrong with me..and she did not care about the car. The speech was "We can always pay for our vehicle, but we cannot pay for your life...if you died I would never be able to have another you and thats all it matters."
