Do you understand why she was so upset? Think about what would make her feel secure with you online. Perhaps you could promise to only use the computer when one of them is in the room. Or perhaps you could agree to give her the password to your myspace account, and give her free reign to check it anytime she wanted to. Good luck.

Having done something really stupid and dangerous, the only chance you have to get your computer privileges back is to prove you've learned your lesson. If you were my DD, you would have more of a chance if you came to me with a plan. A plan to set up a MySpace and IM account that I could monitor. As I saw that you could be trusted I would cut back some monitoring but never all the way.
Some monitoring techniques: Set mom up with a MySpace and add her to your friends. Set your page to private. Discuss the rule of not adding anyone who you haven't met IRL. Show mom how to read your IM history. Ask to have access on a computer that is in a "family" area rather than one in your room.
It will be a bummer to have to watch your conversations with friends but getting trust back takes time and you need to build that if you want computer privileges again.

Trust is earn. If you truly been off IMing and my space this long then just maybe you earned your trust. It's really up to your mom. In my opinion you earned your trust if you been truly been off IMing and my space, but then again it's up to your mom. I don't think it going to hurt to ask. In when you ask before sure you know what your going to say first before you tell her. Maybe you can write it down like a s-say paper, outline it, then make it into a letter. But you really need to keep to your own promise. It's not going to hurt.
