Take it in to a professional. Tell your mom this: "Would you rather spend a couple of bucks to repair it now, or would you rather it break later, and have to replace it?" Never try to repair instruments yourself, unless you are fully trained to do so. (Especially oboes)

Oboeguy is right if you have not had training on how to make key adjustments and how to make pads seal you should take it to a pro. Otherwise you could acctualy break a key of you flute if you try to rebend it back if you don't know what you are doning.

Exactly. If you don't know how to fix it, you'll probably end up screwing it up. Get help.

like I said, take it to a professional! Let them fix it now, before it's too late.
