This can't be happening

It's frozen. My BRAND NEW iPod TOUCH IS FROZEN ON THE SHUTDOWN SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am practically hyperventaling here, because if my stepmom finds out, she'll blame it on me and I will DIE. SHE WILL HANG ME BY MY TOES FROM THE 2ND STORY WINDOW AND TELL ME WHAT A BAD CHILD I AM AND HOW UNGREATFUL I AM!!!!!!

help me please.
