Since you are a minor most likely nothing terribly bad will happen to you if you tell the truth. I suggest that you confide with a neutral adult such a a teacher at school that you need a child's advocate and even a lawyer to represent you before you sit down with the officer assigned your case to discuss what you have written above.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
