Since your mom feels the way she does about seeing the yearbook, see if she will bargin with you. Tell her that she has to agree that you still get to go to the prom eventhough she is insulted by the entries in your yearbook. By the same token you will probably have to listen to her comments that you may not appreciate but you'll understand it better when you are the mom.
If you tell your mom about this you can tell her that I am a mom with high school children so I do understand her position too.
God Bless~~I hope that all goes well for you

First what is the point in being dishonest to your mother at this point she will not only be upset for the things you did that it says in the year book but she has now had time to sit and think about it. You should have just handed her the year book and said just to warn you mom you might not like some things it says. I'm not saying it's okay but try to make it til after prom then show her the year book, and a little advice for the future, the way you write I'm sure you are young, stop doing stupid stuff, whether you want to believe it or not it isn't that your mother is strict she really knows what is the difference between right and wrong and trys to keep you from making those mistakes. I suggest if you do end up doing something you wouldn't want your mom to find out don't let people write it in your year book, because technically I'm sure your mother was the one who paid for it and she has every right to look at it, also because she is your mother. And believe it or not your mom probably would understand more of what is in your year book then you might think, give her some credit if it isn't horrible things she might not be so upset. Good Luck!

If your mom paid for the yearbook, then she has every right to see it. She's probably more interested in looking at the pictures than in reading what your friends wrote. It isn't a diary. You shouldn't write things in your yearbook that you don't want others to read. She's just worried now because you have made such a big deal about it that she knows there is stuff in there that you are ashamed of. If you want too go to the prom, then your best bet is to just be honest with your mom.

It's one thing if she wants to read your personal journal or diary--you have every right to refuse that. However, if it's a school yearbook, she should be able to look at that. If you don't want stuff you've done getting back to your mom, then don't do them--think before you do something: "what will happen when mom finds out? Is it worth her dissapointment in me?" However at this point, the best thing you can do is come clean with mom about all you've done--she'd rather hear it from you than read it in your yearbook.

First of all you shouldn't lie to mom and mom should respect you private things But at the same time you have let mom know that there is something you are ashamed of or that you don't want her to know about. Mom is worried about you and wants what is best for you . The open and honest relationship is the best. If you both have that you will get along great.

Lying is not good. Doing wrong in the first place was not good.But kids will be kids in school. Im sure your mom did a lot of wrong things too. Ask her. Ask her sisters if she has any. If you can get the dirt on her you can use it. She just may be trying to protect you from what she did. Wants you to be better than her. Go for it. and then let her see your book. Good luck

OO-cute-01 - see if you can borrow (or buy) a yearbook that is not written in and let your mother see it. It will make her happy and get you to the prom.
She's interested in you and wants to know about your life at school. It's hard for her, as a mother, to understand that you consider it an invasion of your privacy.

It is kind of funny you say your yearbook is personal...What is more personal than your Mom? Be honest with her and let her see it. I bet she had a yearbook when she was young. I am sure she knows that we can't control what others write in our yearbook. Trust your Mom, and I am sure she will trust you.
