This is long but like crucial in my life: Okay one of my friends broke into the popular jock's house and had a party while their whole family was on vacation (my friend and Mr. Popularity used to be friends a while ago, so my friend knew where the key is). So somebody spilled my name, but the truth was I went to Mr. Popularity's house without knowing he was gone! My friend called me and said "There's a party at [Mr. Popularity's Name Here]'s house." So me and my boyfriend went. But when we found out Mr. Popularity wasn't there we left. Well my mom was pissed at that already. Now my friend left his jacket with his name in it at Mr. Popularity's house. Before he confessed, he was lying about everything. So he said I had taken it at breakfast and that's how it ended up there. So now my mom thinks I shouldn't trust him and everything. Well how do I get my mom to see I didn't know Mr. Popular Jock wasn't home AND to trust my friend now? Opinions welcomed. I'll rate fives, no joke.

I think the only thing you could do is tell her that you didn't know that the kid wasn't home and be really honest with her. If somebody doesn't trust someone however, it's usually pretty difficult to get them to by just simply telling them that they can. your friend doesn't sound like too good of a friend either, if he is spreading lies about you and getting you in trouble. just talk to your mom about it, she should understand! and as for that "friend" of yours..you might wanna think about getting better ones. no offense!

Your mom is going think what she thinks, I find that it works better to just drop the matter and just ease the friendship back to her attention slowly. She may think that things have changed since the incident and that your friend is worth giving a 2nd chance.
