Just look at it like this.

If you care about getting an education, you will not rat on your sister. That's it and that's all.
As for you friend, that sucks that it had to happen to his car, but again, your education is on the line, so just suck it up.

After what your parents said, it shouldn't be a hard decision at all.

Taking a loan will take care of the education part. Your sister and parents have deep rooted problems. I say fscking turn in that dumbass of a sister. If you want a 2nd opinion, you could talk to an advisor.

I'll tell you what! Finish up all your schooling and then tell on your sister a few years later. She could still get busted right? Its like a 70 year old man murdering his pal back when he was 25 right?

I dunno about you, but asking for real advice on ATOT is like asking a bunch of school kids who should be president. I say he should he should talk to someone in a better position to give advice.

I like the hypocrisy here. All of you preaching to call the cops, if that was your family you would not be saying sh!t right now.

if it were your car, you'd be at the local pd right now filing a report.

that being said, his sister is not somebody who i would want be calling 'doctor.' if she does get convicted, she can kiss medical school goodbye. how many of you would want this girl operating on you 10 years from now?

I would guess the same number that would want a potsmoker and a (ex) cokehead to be our president.

Also, hell yes I would be at a local pd right now if it were my car. How does that relate? You're right, I don't give 2 sh!ts about his sister, so I would rat her out. Is she MY sister? NO. If it were, I WOULD keep my mouth shut in this case. (REMEMBER NOT ALL CASES ARE EQUAL)

i am pretty sure that statue limitation for the crime that she commited is less then 40 years. The statue is probably 7-8 years but for sure not 20,30 or 40

Wow, I can't believe you are thinking about ratting out your sister. You do realize who is going to pay for the damages to the 30 cars? YOUR PARENTS! Well good luck to them paying for your college after that. I still can't believe you would be such a rat, I mean family? Damn grow up.

you need to grow up, if my brother did something like that i would rat on him in a split second

I disagree... everyone does stupid things when they are young... if the sister is over 18... a charge like this on her record could ruin her life. It's just not worth it. Not to mention the permanent damage to the family relationships.... cars only last 10 years anyway. Your sister lasts a lifetime.

It's going to fvck up their life, so let's not administer justice!


:roll: I can't believe you.

anything you or anyone in your family does, is kept within your family and away from the gov't
Doesn't sound like his family does much to support him except to feed him and stuff.

Just say screw it man. Its not worth your time and effort. Your parents are idiots yes, but atleast get a decent education out of it. So what your sister got off this time. It sounds like she will keep doing stupid stuff and she'll eventually get hers. Your job isn't to be a cop, concentrate on school even if this really bothers you.. It sucks sometimes but just forget about it.

my thoughts exactly... the good old anonymous tip.

That won't work because then they'll rat her out to lessen the burden on themselves. The sh!t will still pile on Nick as far as his parents are concerned. Actually....I'm betting that when she does get turned in (you can probably count on it....it's not as if highschool gossip grapevines are very quiet) that the 'rents will blame Nick anyway.

Call the people whose cars she vandalized and ask them to call your parents. Especially the people she confessed to.

My mom threatens to stop paying for my college all the time, but the courts here make both of my parents pay. It's great.

Wow. That's some tough sh!t. I don't know if I'd rat on her (being an only child and all, I don't really have perspective). BUT, the way your parents handled it is WAY out of line. Mature adults, should not go around blackmailing each other. Especially family. I could understand if they'd asked you not to tell, because it would fvck up her life and they had promised to punish her themselves, but that reaction is uncalled for.

This reminds me of Theodore Kaczynski. His brother ratted him out.

Although this is no were near as big of deal as that, you have a choice to make. As someone already stated earlier, if your parents have to pay for the damage on all these cars, good luck on staying in college.
