When I need to tell my mum something really serious that is a secret, I tell her that I have to talk to her but it is something she might be mad about. Then I tell her that if she gets mad about it then I'm not going to be able to tell her stuff anymore and I remind her that she should be happier that I am coming to her instead of going to someone else. Then after I tell her she doesn't get mad she just tries to talk to me about whatever it is.

"Secrets," is such strange way to put it. First of all, if you are having to keep "secrets," lie or sneak around you are probably doing or have done things that you shouldn't be. So my first advise is don't do things that you have to hide.
Lastly, trust me, parents do eventually find out. As a parent I would be much more upset and angry if I had to find out about it from someone else, than my own child. I would also be more upset if my child lied to me or had lied to me, than if they just told the truth in the first place.
So if you make a mistake or if you do something wrong, then don't make it worse by lying about it and trying to cover it up. Own up to it, be mature and take whatever punishment comes and then don't do it again. Parents understand, you're a kid and you're going to make mistakes and do some stupid stuff. That's why you're a kid and not an adult.
So that's my advise now. Own up to it, apologize for it, admit it was wrong, promise to never do it again (and meant it) and take whatever punishment you get without any complaint.
Good Luck!

Ha! That one is never gonna be easy. No matter who it is no one likes their secrets to get out. If it is really important and needs to be told for the greater good then someday they will understand after the hurt and anger has left them. But if it's not important then you should give them your trust.

do you understand the word secret? it means something that is maintained in confidence...how would you feel if someone went about telling YOUR most confidential secrets? In other words....butt out. Keep your yap shut.... let your parents work out their own issues.
