I'm scared to tell my parents I lost my brand new phone?

My iPhone 6s plus got stolen a few months ago from my bag at school and my dad went mental, after months of me begging he finally brought me a new phone, an iPhone 6s. Every time before id go out he would always say to me " don't lose it, don't get it stolen, don't put it in you back pocket and if you do your never getting a new one" Me, being stupid, put it in my back pocket when I got on the bus, as I stood up to get off the bus it must have slipped out of my pocket. I didn't realise until about 20 minutes after I got off the bus. I went to the bus depot and also called the police, they said they will try and track it but that can take months before they even start to look into it. I tried my best to get the phone back. Its been 2 days and i'm pretty sure someone has taken it. I've only had it for a couple months and my dad is going to go MENTAL. I have to tell him very soon as he needs to block the sim because some body could be using it. How do I tell my dad i've just lost my brand new phone on the bus because it was in my back pocket? Also, i'm not old enough to work or anything so its not like I can pay him back for it. I'm scared as when he's angry he is super scary and he gets a bad temper really easily.

Tell your mother first, now. Someone could be running up the bill.

It is your Dad's fault that he keeps buying you expensive phones. He should just get you a cheap one that will allow you to make calls only. You are not mature enough to have an expensive phone. Just tell him and take the consequences.

Tell him your gay, he will understand

Your dad is partly to blame, because he shouldn't have turned around and bought you another fairly new expensive phone. This just rewards bad behavior.

On the rest, there's just no way around it. You have to tell them. But I'm curious why you're worried about telling dad when you could tell mom. It's normal for a teen to be nervous about telling a parent when they do something this dumb, but no teen should ever have to worry about their dad's temper being "scary". That's not ok.

Your cell phone service might be able to track it and find it for you

Tellt hem you refused to leave it at home and showed it off at school and it was stolen since you are irresponsible with expensive things. You need to accept the consequences of being irrepressible and immature and your parents need to stop buying you things

Leave him a note, explain everything in it. Offer him a present to apologise. Also write "tell me when it is safe to come home" on the letter, and dash out of the house! Let him know that it could still possibly be found.

I would just apologize and tell your parents what happened, accidents happen and someone couldve stolen it
