Sounds like you are serious about restoring your relationship with your mom. You've made a good decision.
Here's where to start: Remember that relationships are built on trust. No doubt you would agree that the bad things you've done have caused your mother to lose trust in you. This will be very difficult, but if you want a good relationship with your mother, you must first tell her you are sorry for the things you've done (and mean it). Pick a time when you and your mom are alone and she is not tired. Tell her it's your fault for causing her so much misery and for destroying her trust in you. (If your mother or anyone else is partially to blame, this is not the time to bring it up.) Then you must ask her to forgive you. It's one thing to say sorry, but another thing to ask for forgiveness. Be prepared for your mother to say that she isn't ready to accept your apology or to forgive you. Do not get into an argument. Just tell her you understand. Do not give up. She simply needs to see for herself that you are serious about changing. Then, you must work hard at changing. If it means changing friends, or making new ones, do that. Hang around with people whose lives you look up to. If they go to church, join them. Whatever it takes, make up your mind to change your behaviours for the good. It's not too late. When your mother sees that you are serious, she will start to warm up. If you slip up, apologize again and ask her to be your accountability partner. Take care and good luck.

Well firstly I'm sorry if you're a cool person or whatever but don't do bad stuff anymore. The quickest way to achieve this is to do well in school and like or not become more or less a loser. This will make mom happy to some extent. Next is to say sorry that you haven't got a good relationship, she is after all a mom and loves to help her child when they are confused. Just ask for a fresh start and if she see's you mean it she'll adjust. Lastly tell her that you wrote this question because it will show that you are worried about it and are trying to get help. You must really love you're mom and you're a big enough person to share you're problems so just go for it!

You are truly not the first child to have strayed. In the Bible we have the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The story is found in Luke 15:11–32 of the New Testament.
First you go thru repentance and then you work on repairing the damage and changing your ways. You probably didn't destroy your relationship in one day, so expect the rebuilding to take an equal or longer period. Don't give up before you have begun the journey. It won't be easy, but the rewards will be far greater than you can imagine.

The first thing that you need to do, is to rekindle a new relationship with yourself. Once a sin is committed, and remember a sin can be anything that is unrighteous. (not right.) You must renew your way of life and, begin anew. Once you have proven to yourself that you have begun anew, then you can approach your mother, ask forgiveness for your actions and ask her to try again and start over. The best way to do all these things is to go to Christ and ask forgiveness and He will help you with the rest. Remember that Love can do many things.

Ask your Mom to forgive you. Then if you wwant her to be proud of you, do the right things. Like if someone askes you to do something wrong with them say NO. It will make you fill better and it will make your mom proud! If you keep this up you will have no problems with doing the right thing. I will pray for you(I am a Christian) and i promise that you will get better!

First off, apologize. Second treat her fairly, she is your mother, she birthed you, I assume raised you, at least well enough to realize your relationship has gone bad, and made you concerned enough to ask this question. Next if she has wronged you in a bad way, forgive her. She is your mother, I am sure she loves you very much.

first, stop disobeying her.
God's commandment to children is to obey their parents "in the Lord", meaning as long as they are asking you reasonable things.
He promises that if you do that, He will give you a long, prosperous life.
(Ephesians chapter 6)
