Do things around the house to impress her, like if she says to do the dishes, do them, put them away, and clean the counters. Do everything! And, don't lie to her again. It will take time, but time does heal all wounds.

It's not going to happen quickly, it'll take time but it will be worth it.
Help round the house, when asked, or rather use your initiative and do things without being told what to do. (eg, if you think the ironing needs to be done, then do it without being told)
Also, tell her you love her every night before you go to bed, and make her life easier by sometimes cooking her dinner or lunch.
Go shopping with her at weekends and have a girly day out once in a while, spend more time with her rather than your friends, this way she'll realize that you really care for her.
This worked for me, so hope it helps you :)

You have to earn your mothers trust back. It is not always the easiest thing to do but the great thing about moms is that they will always love you in the end. You cant win back you moms trust you have to earn as i said before but start by making good choices in front of her and work your way up. The most important thing to realize is it will take time but deep down your mother loves you no matter what.
Hope that helps

Behave in a trustworthy manner, and she will begin to trust you again in a few months.
You're not going to get her trust back by next week, if that's what your asking.

It does just take time. Just behave well and help her out and don't get impatient. Me and my mum are the best of friends now but I let her down a good few times when I was a teenager.

Do what she asks, don't argue, offer help, be nice. You won't get it back quickly but it should happen eventually.
Don't act like a total kiss *** but act in a trustworthy and responsible manner.
Good luck, hope i helped.

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”
“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”
My Advice: Admit your wrongdoings, plead for forgiveness, and make your mother a part of the process in showing you how to earn her trust BACK.
Trust is a funny thing. For the most part it is freely given, but once it is lost, regaining it can be costly both emotionally and physically. Rebuilding trust once it has been damaged or lost is no easy task. It is not easy for the people who have been let down and it is certainly not easy (nor should it be) for the person who damaged it to begin with. When you factor in things like; respect, authority figures, love and disappointment, the struggle to rebuild can be even harder.
You say that it has been 2 months since you lost your parents trust. 2 months is not a lot of time and it isn't really reasonable for you to expect them to be "back to normal". You have destroyed a life time (yours) worth of trust and it is going to take time and sacrifice to earn it back. Lots of time and lots of sacrifice - on your part. It is hard to accept, but as the "trust breaker" you don't get to set the time line for fixing things. In fact, you don't get much say in anything that pertains to whether or not they will ever trust you again. Chances are that they will come to trust you again, but it won't be on your terms.
You don't say what you did to lose there trust. Are they justified? If they are, your best course of action is to "grin and bear it". If they have every good reason on earth to feel the way they do the very last thing that will regain their trust is YOU telling THEM when "enough is enough". When deciding if they are justified you need to take a big step back to look at what happened. Did you break rules you knew existed? Did you do something they specifically asked you not to? Did you lie, cheat or steal? Did you commit a crime? Did you harm another person or yourself? Did you do something you knew would disappoint or embarrass them? If you were a parent, would you be mad? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", all you can do is wait for them to hand you an olive branch. You have to sit back and do every thing you can think of to show them you are sorry and that you won't risk losing their trust again should they see fit to give it back to you. In short, you have to bend over backwards to be a better more trustworthy you.
Are they over reacting? Is what you did something that would better fall in to the category of "value differences"? Is the core of the current problem that you and your parents disagree over a fundamental issue; like having sex, maintaining privacy or going to college? Is what "lost their trust" actually you asserting your independence? Be honest here! It is not asserting independence to skip school, sneak out on a date, run away from home, or shop lift. Asserting independence would be more along the lines of saying, "College isn't for me!" over and over and then acting on it when the time came. If the issue at hand here is something you and your parents have come to heads over in the past with the only problem being that you stopped talking and started doing, maybe it would be worth it to revisit the issue. You can't make them trust you, you can't even make them "understand", but you can make your feelings known and in doing so you may feel a little better.
As to the core of your question - getting trust back - there are a few things you need to understand first. When trust is lost there are a variety of emotions to face in gaining it back. You will have to be prepared to deal with your parents; anger, resentment, disappointment, frustration and hurt. You will also have to address their legitimate feelings of being disrespected, of being taken for granted, and of being used. After all, they pay your bills and keep you safe and you owe them something for that - you owe it to them to honor their rules and wishes. If you can't honor their rules and wishes you owe it to them to open a dialogue about the problems and NOT sneak around doing whatever you please. What most parents can't handle is a child who tells them one thing and then does another. They tend to be able to handle a child who openly disagrees with them better than one who lies and makes them believe they are being listened to when in fact, they are not. The disappointment factor is much lower when your child makes their differing views known, and disappointment is a key component of lost trust.
To get things back on track with your parents the first thing you need to do is stop trying to control the healing process. As I said before, you don't get to set the terms. You need to accept their anger and fighting them on it is not accepting it. Even asking to go to a frie
