Just sit down and talk to her. Be straightforward and honest and ask her to let you talk and not to interrupt you.

Depends on the subject matter. If it is something like pregnancy which will affect the entire family, then it won't be easy, no matter how well you approach her....but, you could invite her to some coffe shop and then tell her there...she'll have time to cool down on the way home.
If it is something like an illness which only affects you(even though it also will affect the family), then you might take the opportunity at supper or lunch and honestly come out with it.
If it is something in direction of drugs/alcohol/cops/school---make a point of it that you need half an hour or so of her time and then tell her.....but for any scenario it won't be easy, because as children we do not want to disappoint our moms...Good Luck

Sit down and look her in the eye. It's soooo hard but it works the best. Make sure you tell her in person and maybe before you talk to her plan something else for after like a dinner out or something to do together.

My mom...? Just use words... Your mom...? Well, if you had to even ask THAT, you'd probably be best off writing a letter... That way, you're able to get everything out without getting side-tracked... And, if it's something that is simply a misunderstanding, it's that much more easily fixed...

Just tell her you have a situation you want to discuss with her. Depending on the severity of it, forewarn her not to freak out. Start the conversation with Mom, I need your valuable opinion on something. Parents always want to help their children.

depends on what your telling her. If it's something simple, then just flat out and say it. If it's something extremely complicated, give her a little feedback about whatevers wrong, and then tell her. (Expect some anger if it's really bad.)
If there is yelling, give her time, don't yell back.

I think I know what your talking about. And if I'm right, I would tell and dont be very emotional. Of coruse if this is about your ummm..... sexualty, be very strong. I am Catholic, however, unlike I normally do, I shove anything thing down your throught about my faith.

Move far away...let her miss you for a while...and then tell her. Or just tell her and just hope that she loves you enough to deal with it....they do have that amazing power...mothers.

This might sound stupid, but when I was a teenager, I wrote her notes and at the end, I told her to come to my room so we could discuss it. I don't know why, but it just made it easier.

Well, I'm a Mom, so just go up to her, when she isn't busy with something, & say Mom?, can we talk in private? I'm sure she'll want to listen.
