Gonna keep my little bro's arrest on the down-low for now.
Why would you keep your brother's arrest a secret?
Because I'm scared how my parents would react.
You shouldn't do this. Your parent has a right to know if their son faces serious legal trouble.
Look if I was mugged, they would be upset, but they wouldn't make a big deal out of it.
I just think you ought to tell your parents right away. It's really important that they know what happened to your brother.
