Lately, I've been getting really popular, after my first year of high school (I'll be a sophomore now). Anyways, basically, throughout middle school, not a SINGLE guy liked me. Now, I have like a lot of guys wanting me, but thats a different story. So basically, my family doesn't think that I'm popular because of the way I was in middle school (but I wasn't like a loser...). Anyways, I hang out with all these popular guys that want me AND theire ppopular friends like every day now, but my family doesn't know about it. Should I tell my mom that I'm hanging around boys, because she knows them: I went to elementary school with them and she thinks theyre all "sweet." What she DOESN't know is that together, we drink, and occasionally get high. So if I told her, she'd probably suspect that we're drinking, and then forbid me to hang out with them.

So if I were you, I wouldn't bring it up. But tell the truth if she asks who you were with, if she forbids you hang out with them, then hey, hang out with anyway and lie. But she probably wont mind.
Don't be afraid of having them round either. You're mum might say, 'I didn't know you were friends with them!'. Just say, 'Yeah, we're friends now. They're really nice/fun'.

Never give her details if she doesn't ask for them, and if she starts to suspect, [honestly] tell her what you're doing-- especially if it's just, "Mom, we're going to the movies, then so-and-so's house. They're parents are home, for goodness sakes. Chill out."
