You should tell your mom that you tried it and that you won't do it again. I have 3 boys and would appreciate the honesty. If you tell her you wanted to know what it was like and now that you do, it's not for you. You may even earn some points with her by showing her that you respect her enough to tell her yourself. Good luck and don't do it again, you'll regret later!

Well look, the way i see it, is that lets say he does tell your mom. The only thing you can do at that point is admit that you've tried one, but that you weren't interest. I know that it could be hard to tell your parents stuff like that but if she alreadyis going to know because of your brother, at least you can give her the real story. So after you tell her that you've tried it,and didn't like it, if she asks you about smelling of smoke, if possible,, maybe you can just tell her that you have some friends who do smoke, but that she has nothing to worry about with you. AND if that is a problem for her and it looks like she is mad about that. Then you can tell her that just because you have friends that smoke, doesn't mean that you will be smoking too, and that you have no intention of not being someone's friend just because of their choice to smoke, now if it were drugs or alcohol, maybe you would think twice about being there friend, considering that you are under age? But you're just saying all that only if she brings that up, and only to make her feel better about the situation. wHEN MY DAD CAUGHT ME, trying one, i told him that he was getting all excited about the wrong thing. I am a good kid, i study, and make my own dinners, and it's not like i am doing drugs or anything. I told him that he was lucky to have a daughter like me. to this day i don't smoke. It's just not for me.

Tell her before he does and tell her your curiosity got to the best of you and you tried one but didn't like it and won't do it again. She may put you on restriction for a bit or discourage you from being friends with the person who gave you the cigarette but you should respect that because she's doing it out of love. If you go to her first, before your brother, it's going to make it easier on you and she'll know she can trust you to come to her when you get into certain situations like this. Best of luck!

tell your mother now and maybe put on some perfume so you dont smell like smoke and give a good strong reason why you will never ever do it again.SUCH AS:cigarettes are made with things that are in rat poisin and jet fuel.and you know what it can do to you and your life span and you want to outlive smokers and not waste your life in a hospital suffering from lung cancer

Tell your Mum Before He Does! Be Honest with her....She will love that you are being honest! If you truly feel sorry and only wanted to try it, then tell your Mum exactly that, and that you are really sorry, and you will NEVER do it again....If you don't tell her then you may ruin the trust she has for you...
Please always be honest with your parents! It will get you MUCH further in life than if you try lying....

Just tell her the truth. The same thing happened to me when i was a kid. I was so eat up with guilt for doing what i did i could not sleep at night. I ended up telling my mom and she forgave me and appreciate me telling the truth about it. Trust me, it will be much better if she hears it from you then your brother.

Show yourr brother a thing or two. Tell your mom that you just tried it and have no plans to start because it is a stupid thing to start and a hard to stop. Good Luck!!

I would defiantly tell her before he does. You still may get in trouble but not as much as if he beats you to it. Also if you explain to her that you were curious and discovered that you did not like it and will never do it again, she should be relatively understanding. Good luck and I hope all goes well.

Tell the truth quickly before he does. It will be much easier on you if you tell her you only tried one and absolutely hated it and will never try another ever!! Now go! hurry.

Tell her the truth before it gets to her from ur bro. It may be hard but tell the truth. Get online and show her ur question on hear. Maybe that would show her how much this is bothering you.
