Please Tell Me I Didn't Ruin My Car...

All right, I drove ten miles one day and realized I had my parking break up. My car had whined a little, so I caught it.

Well, the today I was nervous about driving at night and when I did, I accidently left it up for the second time. I've been good with it since that first time, but I'm so upset I did this again. I drove 15 miles and my car never whined, so I didn't know until I got to where I was going. The break was on low, not high... so that may be why.

What could this have done? Are my breaks shot? Is my car dangerous to drive? It's brand new... and any answers would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Worste thing that could have happend is you wore out the rear drums and or pads when you break can you feel grinding or rough feeling in the peddle ?
