Parents caught me on tinder?

[Anonymous]

So my friend told me to join tinder. She made it sound like some fun game so I though why not. I signed up and my brother found out and told my parents. I told them that friend created the account for me and its on her phone. They said my brother wants to talk to her when he sees her tomorrow about it.

She didn't actually create it for me, she just told me to do it. What do I do? If he confront her shell probably say "she did it on her own"
Do I tell my friend to go along with it? Or do I tell my brother to not talk to her about it? I stopped using the app, I deleted the account and I feel so bad I won't do it ever again. But what do I do so my parents and brother dont find out I joined myself?

Please dont tell me to tell the truth that I joined myself. My family is abusive and will scream and potentially hurt me for lying to them. I just panicked and lied

Tell the truth instead of just making a friend take the blame for you. And then just get rid of it. Tinder isn't a good site to be on.

My parents are already mad at her, because she still did influence me and tell me multiple times to do it. After a lot of persuasion I did it. So technically, it is her fault so saying she made it isn't a far stretch, they'd be mad no matter what. I deleted tinder and I'm never trying it again

Not really, you could have chosen to just not do it. You gave in. It's not as if she forced you to do it.

I told my parents that I let her sign me up, but its on her phone. I said she asked and asked and I gave in and gave her he information to put enter. I said I'm so sorry I gave into peer pressure and I dont know why I did it. I said I won't do it again, which is true

So the only lie is that she physically signed me up. How doI ask her this?

Who do you trust more your friend or brother? Pick one to cover for you.

[Asker]

Good idea, my friend. But how do I ask her to cover for me? "Hey, I accidentally told my parents and brother you made the tinder account because my parents were so angry and disappointed, if Austin asks can you say that to him?"

[Alyssa1111]

Yup exactly. She can say it was a joke or something.

[Asker]

Okay thank you!

[Asker]

But would you mind giving me a sentence saying how I should tell her? Because she is understanding, but I dont wanna seem as though I lied to get off the hook. I still saidit was my fault I gave her my iinformation and let her sign me up.
