Greetings from the US! Good Question!
To admit something is usually used when you've done something wrong! This is also true for confess. The two are generally interchangeable.
To concede is typically used in an arguments (not necessarily fights!
) To concede is to allow the other person a point. This is also known
as making a consession. To describe it better, it is agreeing that
something is common knowledge, a point that you are not arguing. For
example:
Jack: "Tests shouldn't be given because they make students nervous!"
Jill: "I concede that tests make students nervous, but results show that students who are regularly tested do better."
May I borrow your question for an entry in my blog? Others would benefit from this being explained!

All the best,
