First tell your mom you want to see a psychologist. Be completely honest tell her everything! How you feel, what you are doing and why. Also let her know that you want to get help. Don't get angry either stay calm, even if your mom gets angry. Then hopefully she will understand and get you help. This way your mom knows what's going on and will know that you are not hiding anything from her. When you see the psychologist he/she must keep your conversation private unless they feel that your life is in danger, like extreme suicidal thoughts. I would tell her right away. Yes it's Christmas eve but doing this may make your relationship better and you may actually have a better Christmas.
Good Luck, Merry Christmas.

Well I'm 14 and I was doing Heroin intravenously for about a year or so. My mom finally caught me high with a syringe beside me after I had been using for about 4 months. She took me to the Dr. I stayed clean for about 2 and a half months. I did go through bad withdrawals and I could not take it anymore! So I started using again. One day about two weeks after I started using again my older cousin seen my arms I begged her not to tell my mom. She didn't and then I quite again. So I said to myself. If my mom catches me again she'll put me in detox. If my cousin finds out again she'll tell my mom and I'll still end up in detox. So thats when I kicked it for good! What I did was I started going to a teens activity center, and took up other hobbies. If I had the urge to use *and still sometimes do* I'll pick up a book, or start a craft or something like that. I know this is just about what everyone else says but it really does work. I'm from NY and it is really hard when you live somewhere like that, with a lot of crime and drugs. I also did pills too. Like, Xanax and Vicodin. I know it's not easy at all, It's like you love the high but you hate it at the same time. I come to the conclusion that you can't have your cake and eat it too. People always say set you mind to something and you can do it. But sometimes that doesn't always seem so true, especially for a addiction when you can't function right without the addictive. But seriously take up a new hobby, or go to activity center, I really helped me a lot. And no one wants to be in rehab. But if you need to talk I know what it's like and you can E-mail me if you would like. Good luck. Hope it goes well <3!

I applaud you - you are a bright young woman. You know this is a problem and you have the strength to seek guidance.
I encourage you to talk with your mom and ask for professional help.
A therapist or psychologist will keep the specifics of the session confidential unless you give permission otherwise, or present as danger to yourself or others. Depending on where you live - at 15 yrs old, you may be able to consent for treatment without adults.
Again, good for you! You know what you need to do, have the strength to do what is right for you.
Be well.

You cannot stop on your own cold turkey honey, please seek out help. 12 Step Program are a good way to go, there have them for teens. Contact a counselor at school, they can give you information and then sit down with your mom and tell her you need help.
A psychologist will keep your conversations private, they cannot give out that information unless you require medical attention. You can trust the adults that are they to help you, why do you say that?
Please talk to someone.

I believe that no matter what you do your parents will have to know. If they love you, they will help, and they do love you I'm sure. You can go to rehab and then go to Narcotics Anonymous. Rehab will have all kinds of answers. If one rehab doesn't work, it's either because you're being closed minded, or it's not a good rehab. I'm betting it's you, because that's how it was with me. This is the best answer I know of. Many will agree.
peace

you need to see that you're keeping yourself stuck - and you're the ONLY one with the power to change your situation but you have to really, really want to, otherwise you're just playing head games with yourself. Nothing is going to happen until you want it to - from the heart.
