    The simple answer to your question? Don't do anything else that you know your mom wouldn't approve of! Imagine that you were your mom & came home to find your daughter had snuck a boy in. Would you not feel that she'd completely violated your trust and be furious?

    It's a difficult time for both of you because your mom is angry and disappointed and you are feeling remorse for what you did. Honestly, your family just wants to protect you and help you mature and become a successful young woman without having anything like STDs or pregnancy or juvenile detention, etc. get in the way of your goals and dreams. That's perfectly logical and reasonable for a family to want!

    Knowing what it's like to be you (yes, I did this too & got caught by my mom) I really truly recommend that you do *everything* she asks & expects you to do for a lonnnnnng time. Make sure you are polite and courteous, only talk to and hang out with friends you know she likes & approves of, make sure your grades are good, and just don't do anything else that you know will upset her, okay? Show her you can be a responsible, dependable teenager, and that you've learned from your mistake.

    Good luck with this. You messed up big time, but she's your mom & I promise that she still loves you. :)

    your mom is being a mom

    she is afraid of you getting hurt. boys you age all they want is to get in your pants and your mom knows that. besides getting in your pants they will talk bad about you after they dump you.

    by bringing a boy in let your mom now that you are immature and that you not only put yourself at risk but also your home, you cant trust people now a days

    to earn your moms trust back tell her that you understand why she is so upset and that you realize that you made a wrong decision and that you will try your hardest to not do it ever again.

    You have to earn her trust - simple as that. She's your mom and she obviously cares very much about you, so do what you can to let her know that you want to be trusted again. It'll take some time, but things will get better....

    trust is something that is earned over time, not something people just give out...you have to earn the trust of your mother overtime, it's not going to come overnight.

    High school ... time, deeds & actions ... you blew it (so to speak) and it will take showing you can make good decisions to over shadow the poor one you made.

    So ... had composition class yet .... look into it . . . .

    well first talk to her about. the previous response is right you will have to earn it. it most likely will take awhile though, longer than you want. you will have to start doing what she asks when she gives a responsibility.
