what da hell...you dont even know for sure if she knows so just walk in like you usually do, straight to the bathroom, put on your pijama say godbye quickly and go to sleep. If tommorow she still acts weird, try to stay away from her as much as you can, anyways you will be on an airplane on your way to miami with your favorite couzin, ask her, she always knows what to do. always trust what older cousins tell you, they are the best.

Own up to the cigarettes. Lying to her now will only compound the problem and create an even bigger lack of trust.
Cigarettes are addictive but it IS possible to quit.
I would try and make a deal with her. Tell her you'll own up to everything if she promises not to freak out while you are on vacation. Tell her you know she's angry and she has every right to be, but you want to salvage the vacation if you can. Ask her to at least think about it. You don't want the vacation ruined for yourself or her either.
If she agrees, keep your promise at all costs and tell her what you've been doing and why. Tell her EVERYTHING. I think if you own up to it all she'll feel a little more relaxed and she'll be able to keep her side of the bargain... not to freak out until AFTER the vacation.
When you get home, suck up your punishment. I'm sure you already knew it was only a matter of time.
If she freaks out on your vacation well... who's really to blame here? She's scared for you ya know... since cigarettes cause cancer, heart disease and a bunch of other not so attractive diseases.
Stop smoking... when have you heard anything good about smoking????
I hope all goes as well as can be expected for you.

well.. a shitload of folks are going to write ya 'quit smoking.' I think as you are on a trip you should make an effort first to 'calm down..' Don't jump to the conclusion you did (about the cigarettes.) I wouldn't say they weren't yours... (you'll get punished worse for lying about it.) I'd try and act a bit sorry about it but don't go overboard.. you're mainly sorry you got caught, right? right. Did you like promise you wouldn't do it again? This will make you nervous as it sounds like you are really tripping here. She/Mom sounds a bit out of control here. I mean acting hysteric and screaming isn't doing both her or you any good, right? Is she raising you alone? She sounds like she's doing the best she can (you got to be mature and keep all this in mind here) and it's threatening to her to find cigarettes. (Oh boy, don't put anything 'worse' around she can find.. she'll have a true heartattack if a pack makes her act like a wildwoman, huh?) Maybe you should call her back (well, don't do it if you don't feel right or because I told ya to.. decide this yourself..) and act a bit contrite and 'serious' about it.. Ask her if this is what is wrong and if you are COMfortable with it (I mean if you know, and you will, that the 'jig is up'/she caught on) you might say "I admit it.. I did it. I screwed up again. I hope you will forgive me as I don't want you to be upset and I want to be calm for the rest of this trip. Can we discuss this when I get home?" All that adult acting stuff might freak her out enough, she won't 'hysterical' out on ya. (YOU are the one that knows her the best.. I'm just tossing out ideas.) How old are ya, anyway? I didn't catch it (guessing about l5.) You know, when I was your age I imagined up **** a lot worse than what actually was 'going down' at home (good imagination a l5 year old has.. heh) you'll be o.k.....

I hope that you are not asking us for lies to cover your bad habit. If I were you, I would confess to the cigarette and make a promise to you and your parents - NEVER SMOKE AGAIN!!!!
You should also plan a trip to some convalescent hospitals and hospices to see those suffering from cancer, emphysema and bronchitis. Emphysema is very interesting when they have to cut a hole in your throat and insert a breathing hole so you don't suffocate!
You can also think about how much money you can save when you don't buy cigarettes. You can see more movies, buy more clothes, eat out more often and avoid cigarette-related illnesses as well as cigarette-related doctors bills.
Take your lumps now and prove responsibility to them and you will gain their trust and respect. Lie to them and you will lose it.
If you do get grounded, do research on cigarette related illnesses and write a long, heartfelt essay. Give it to them and explain what you have learned. Then stay away from cigarettes for good!
By the way, smoking is not cool. More and more people resent smokers because a non-smoker has no way to escape the smell of cigarettes in the air, on the smokers clothes and in the smokers cars and homes.
Good luck!

Be honest...mostly. :) Okay I'm an adult giving bad advice... someone slap my wrist! Tell her you're really sorry. (Keep a very serious face and look her right in the eyes, don't cry... maybe tear up just a bit)... she's your mom, you know what she'll believe... if she'll buy it that it was a friend's then tell her your friend stuck the cigarettes in your purse, or that someone gave them to you but you haven't smoked them yet... you were gonna get rid of them you just hadn't yet... you could follow up with, "mom, after last time don't you think I'd learn my lesson?"
If she buys all that... then I'd seriously suggest quitting... only cause it sounds like your mom is one tough lady and I wouldn't test her again or she might not fall for it. Not to mention, it's a gross habit and makes you stink!
Good luck!

Hey you knew what you where doing was wrong. If your big enough to be smoking then your big enough to take your punishment. Be honest with her! She knows best,she is only trying to protect you. HER JOB! Until you are the age of 18 you should not be smoking but you know that. Was this worth getting in trouble? I mean you say you where grounded for a year. You know you deserve it. You didn't learn the last time? You are hurting your Mother! STOP IT! You did this to yourself!
Good Luck!

Well if they are English cigarettes you can tell your Mom that you were bringing them home to a friend. Being Imported and all that. Its a pretty weak one but you need to cover your tracks better girl. Don't leave smokes in your purse or anywhere else your snooping Mom knows where to check for stuff like that.

Sorry kiddo, but you shouldn't be smoking. You're going to have to face the music on this one. If you come clean about it, assuming that is what she found, she will realize that you're growing up and maturing enough to admit when you were wrong. It's always hard to admit when you're wrong, but it's part of being a responsible adult. I doubt she's going to ruin your trip if she's on it with you, as that ruins her trip too. If this is in fact what she's upset about, level with her about it and if she gets really upset, tell her you understand why she's mad and disappointed in you and you will honor whatever punishment she doles out on you when you get back home.

Bite the bullet, skool.
We've all been in your shoes at least once in our lives. You do the crime, you do the time. Tell her the truth. You smoke. Tell her you know the health risks. As a parent of teenage kids, I can't stop my kids from smoking. They're just going to go behind my back and do it. But, if I catch them, that's a different story. Then, they have to suffer through my long lectures. LOL
Good luck.

If she found them, then well there is nothing you can do. You apologize and let her get out her anger. Take the reprecussions for your actions like an adult and then follow the rules like an adult. Kick the cigs until you are of age of course...hopefully you dont go back (ICK) Sorry you are so afraid, but you just have to go through these things, if you insist on breaking the rules there is nothing you can do to change the consequences laid out for you. Ill pray she does not kill you. best of luck and KICK THE CIGS!!! ITS NOT CUTE!

if you know the consequences and still disobey the rules you deserve to be grounded. perhaps you should have thought about whether your behaviour would ruin her trip. it's supposed to be fun for her too you know. whatever you do, don't make it worse by lying. she already knows you smoke so don't treat her as if you think she's some kind of fool. apologise, promise not to do it again and then keep your promise.
