forget it or tell her?
My mom gave me a pair of earrings a while ago. I wore them all the time and I loved them. The problem is, I lost one of them somewhere in school. It was a total accident and it must have came off while I was running/playing sports. I have still have one of them, but I don't know whether to tell my mom. I have alot of other earrings and the lost earring is probably already stolen. Should I just let it go or fess up to my mom? If they were expensive, I would be in deep trouble. Also, my mom would think I was very irresponsible and wouldn't trust me with anything anymore.

Things like that happen. It wasn't your fault or anything. You can tell her if you want to. If they were yours though, it probably really doesn't matter if you keep it to yourself. :)

Well until she asks... don't tell, fiRst of all. Then, simply tell heR what you said above... it must have fallen off duRing spoRts pRactice. You might also want to include the paRt of how you've appReciated them so much, and you definitely got youR good use out of them while they lasted. I doubt she'd be mad oveR this - that would just seem a little silly of heR. AfteRall, theRe aRe faR moRe impoRtant things to devote negative eneRgy and fRustRation to otheR than the loss of an eaRing whose puRposed was seRved. Best wishes, and hopefully I've been of some help heRe!! =D

Go to the office first, and see if anyone turned it in. No one steals just one earring-- why would they want to wear it? Chacnes are though it got swept up after school, but I know some janitors are good about turning stuff like that in. SO first, check and see if it got turned in.
Second, if it hasn't been turned in, tell your mom. Yeah, she will be upset, but at least she will know that you are being truthful and it may come in handy down the road. Building a big trust issue with your parents is good and by telling them little things like a lost earring is a good place to start.
Third, your mother wont be too upset if she is at all. She probably wont think your irresponsible because you took the credit for what you did and you 'fessed up. Dont make up lame excuses if you are going to tell her though. Just say, it fell out, I didnt notice it and by the time I did, it was too late. I covered my tracks and will continue to look for it, but I know these were a gift from you and I wanted to let you know what happened to them.
Earrings fall out all the time. They just werent designed to stay on your ears, (ive lost alot of earrings and I came to that conclusion)and I am sure your mother realizes this. She knows that accidents happen and I'm sure she doesn't think that you delibratley pulled it off your ear and dropped it.
SO after this long thing of advice, to sum it all up: tell your mother. The damage wont be as bad as you are imagining it will be. She may even respect you more for it
Good luck with that and I hope it works out for you

You should tell her. You may get in trouble but if she finds out that you lost it and didn't tell her about it then you could get into even more trouble. Explain to her what happened and apologize for it. She may be angry but she will be even angrier and trust you even less if she finds out that you lost it and didn't tell her about it.
Good luck

Don't be afraid to tell her..if you tell her she might buy you knew ones..it wasn't exactly your fault that you lost it and she should understand that..everyone loses something every now n then..

well honestly i avoid it all together until she asks where they are...then i postpone it a bit and say theyre "in my drawer" or "a friend borrowed them". it might not be the most honest thing but shell never know WHEN you lost them. or you could just 'fess up and be sad about it and shell get the idea. <3

tell her

well from a mothers point of view i think it would be best to tell her as soon as possible.because she might get upset that you didnt tell her sooner! if she gets annoyed then just say "its not the materail possesions that matter".or "ive looked everywhere", just so shes knows you havnt just not botherd to look! hope i helped! xx

You weren't being irresponsible, it was just an accident. Your mother is probably going to realize that you aren't wearing them anymore and will probably question it, so you'll have to fess up sooner or later. You might as well do it on your own, so she'll realize that you feel bad about it, and that you were being honest.

hey girl well i think you should tell her the truth because 1st that would be the best thing and 2nd it would make you feel better...why? do you ask its cause she will know that your responsible for tellin her the truth and not lying to her and that she can trust you much more well yeah one time i lost this really nice exs[ensive real diamond earrings a school and so i told my mom and she was just mad a little bit but she got over it its okay but hope i helped!

Well, okay, truth is always best. But, in your situation it's kind of hard to decide on what to do. First off, will your mom remember your earrings in the long run? Do you think she'll ask you why you haven't worn them in awhile/where they are? If yes, then <b>tell her the truth.</b> She also might admire the fact that you came out and just said it, rather than hid it from her, and you may not get in as much trouble as you suspected. If no, then you're safe just keeping it a secret. But honestly, I'd tell her the truth either way, because as I said, she'd probably feel better knowing you told her the truth, even if it means getting in trouble. Maybe, try telling her you'll pay half/all the money she spent on them back to her, so she knows you feel just as bad that you lost such a great gift. Lol, I'm sorry this happened. Good luck! :)

Loosing your earring was an accident. I would hope you mother would not punish you for that. Hiding something shows you did something wrong, which in this case you didn't. Tell her what happened and how upset you are for loosing something you loved. I think you will be suprized how supportive she'll be.
