Answer 1

First of all, you should not be sneaking around behind your mother's back. How can she trust you if you do this? Hopefully she will ground you for what you did. Why should you get "out of trouble?" You did the wrong thing, now take your punishment.

Answer 2

Hi
your best bet in this situation? Come clean, tell your mom the truth. If she found out you went and that you did some things she preferred you did not do then she may very well find out the other stuff. If you confess, and take your punishment you will be better off in the long run. Your mom will not trust you again if you lie to try to get out of trouble. I did that once and I had restriction for 4 weeks, no car for 3 months and it took a solid year of good behavior for my mom to trust me again. It was so severe because I did not tell her all and she found out later that I lied when I did tell her. And not telling her is still lying!
Our moms just want to know where we are in case we turn up missing they know where to start. We don't think it can happen to us but it is all over the news everyday. Just treat mom like you want her to treat you and all will be ok!

Answer 3

You should be more respectful of your parents, first of all... but everyone makes mistakes as a teenager. Do you feel bad about, or would you do it again? If you regret it, be honest with your parents and tell them you regret it. If you don't regret it, there is nothing we can help you with. Don't get yourself pregnant and on welfare...

Realize that you are trying to rush into adulthood, and believe me, most people would LOVE to be back in the carefree days before the "real world." Don't rush those things, and enjoy the opportunities you DO have now.

Every teenager wants to spend every waking moment with their boyfriend, but later in life you could regret some things, so try to keep that in mind.

Being rebellious is going to get you NOWHERE in life, except into more trouble. Follow your parents' guidelines and make something great out of yourself!

Answer 4

Theres no getting out of things when your parents know. The best thing to do is not to try to make excuses, that just sounds cowardly and manipulative and makes people angrier. When I was in your boat, I just came right out and admitted it to my mom right away. She yelled at me and punished me, but at least it was over with sooner than it would have been if I waited on her to make the first move. Also, it helped to establish trust between us so that as I got older she had no problems giving me more rights and less restrictions. She knew if I did something wrong I was going to own up to it.

Answer 5

Here is what you do, you take responsibility for YOUR actions and deal with the consequences. Your mom has every right to be angry with you, and in fact you could be accused of theft (she probably should press charges). You must learn that in life does not always go as you wish and that you can not always get your way. There are consequences to your actions and you must realize that life is not a free ride. Good for your mom for getting mad at you and hopefully you have learned something, but unfortunately I do not think you have.

Answer 6

Accept the responsibility of your actions, dump the chump, and be glad you have a mom who cares about you, and try not to disobey or disappoint her (intentionally) in the future!

Ephesians 6:1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Colossians 3:20
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Written to Christians (primarily) but the principles apply to all.

The whole tone of your question sounds like you are sorry only that you got caught, which is not [truly] sorry at all.

Look up the word repentence in the dictionary and Bible, it will be an eye-opener to you, of that I am sure.

Answer 7

Crying about it might make it all better. Lay on your bed, kick and scream and yell and cry. Pout and whine and declare "It's not fair" and "I hate you!" Repeat as desired.

Then when you feel like acting like an adult, apologize to your mother, and I'm not even going to say that you should listen to her all the time no matter what, (I still don't listen to my mother all the time.) but think about what you're doing and take a moment to assess how stupid it is. Oh, and mom's ALWAYS know. There are forces that you can't predict, and they are close personal; friends with your mother.

Answer 8

well first apologize and tell that you will accept any punishment she gives you, then tell her why you did it, try to make her understand your side of the story but don't yell at her or whine. If she has something to say, listen also, if you act nice when she is punishing you it could be a lighter punishment, and make sure you don't do it again because if she does go easy on you this time she deffenetly wont next time

Answer 9

What a load of moody bitches above me.

Don't worry girl, i've done similar things for boys.
Okay, now, first determine if your mom is a push over?
Is it possible you can try and make her remember when she was your age and get her to sympathise or anything?

OR

You could just lay low for a while and then just do some serious butt kissing.
You know....cups of tea, breakfast in bed, that kindof crap.

I wouldn't take the advice of the (clearly grouchy) people above me.

I mean, if there is no way you can get round a punishment then take it, but honestly, whats the worst she can do?

Best of Luck Sweet Pea.

Answer 10

You should apologize as much as possible, and express how strongly you feel towards your boyfriend and then I would ask her if she ever had a feeling that was that strong where she did what was wrong to feel good, or do what she thought was right. Or you can always try by sucking up by doing some extra work around the house, things that you just wouldn't normally do.

Answer 11

You should own up to your mistake, and take your punishment . You could have gotten in a wreck or worse ! I don't blame your mom at all..If my son's did that they'd lose everything for the whole Summer.... No cell phone,no computer, no friends no TV nothing ! You deserve what ever your Mom hands out.
