Well sweety, don't lie. It will make things work. Tell her your totally sorry, and you know what you did was wrong. In a matter of time she'll trust you again knowing that you know what you did was completely wrong. Hope this helps.

Tell the truth. You can't always win a fight you know. Your dig your own grave, don't mess up. She already saw the pictures, why lie about the things you did? Besides, you shouldn't have posted the pictures on. You'll feel guilty if you lie, and have a burden on your shoulders. Sure, you'll get punished, but that's your mom's way of trying to protect you and communicate with you about how to run your life and not get wasted. But don't worry, she won't run your life forever.

tell her the truth,if you do drink smoke and all that shit,why are you afraid of saying you do?Your mom needs to know what you do and now that shes already seen the pics,you cant possibley say it wasnt me.She knows now,dont lie.Just answer her questions honestly and tell her why and what you think about what you do.

Just say the truth.
And tell her the circumstances you were under.
It depends on if your parents are really strict or not.
Most of the time they will understand if you are completely honest.
:D
Hope I helped.
Rate me please?

She's well within her rights to ground you. You live in her house, and have to abide by her rules.
Tell the truth, whatever the truth might be. It's generally apparent when someone is being honest and that is the most likely thing to get you leniency. I suspect grounding you has a lot more to do with wanting you to be safe than it does with punishment. If she grounds you, she'll know where you are at all times and will therefore know that you're not doing anything dangerous.
I realise teenagers experiment, and maybe I'll lose all credibility for saying it, but I don't think experimentation is necessary. You're playing with fire. Also, why put those pictures on myspace? It won't be cool anymore when your teachers and future employers see them. And as you've seen, it's not cool when people who aren't your friends (as in, your family) see them. I don't see the necessity to publicise your particular exploits.
Be honest. Be honest with yourself, too. Do you have a problem? Is it just experimentation? I can't answer that and I won't try to. But I think it's important that you often make sure the answers are proper ones. It's easy to get into trouble and get in over your head.
Be safe.

Unfortunately, this situation just sucks. I had a similar thing happen to me, my mom read all my text messages and found a lot harder stuff than that on there. She thought I was completely straight-edge at the time, so I was in some trouble (she threatened to send me to rehab, the whole nine yards) The reality of it is, you were caught re-handed and there's nothing you can do at this point. You just need to be really apologetic. Tell her that you had experimented a few times but that you regret it and learned your lesson and that you would never do it again. All teenagers do at some point or another, so I'm sure that, yes, she will be upset at first, but she will get over it. As for the one month, right now, in the heat of things, you ust need to accept it. For the next few weeks you need to stay out of trouble and be really nice. Then, when things die down, you can talk to her about it and tell her that it's your summer and you really want to see your friends. Start small, like asking to go to a movie with some people, and work your way up to going to parties and such. It really didn't take but 2 weeks for me. I'm sure your mom will understand.
Good Luck!
