HELP ME PLEASE Should I be honest with my mom?
So I was chatting online with my friend about drinking and stuff cause I was getting red spots after getting drunk. We were talking about vodka and stuff then I went to the bathroom. When I came back, my mom was in front of the laptop. When I was trying to say "wait", she just had a straight face. I think she read our chat. So now I'm really scared. I don't know what to do. Should I tell her? HELP ME PLEASE.:(
xoxo,

yes tell your mother if its one thing you dont want to do is lose your relationship with your family talk it over it may be hard but it will all pay off in the end.

well i wouldnt because if she didnt read it then your ratting yourself out and starting with did you read my chat would be sketchy and she can just ask questions like yah y what were you saying stuff like that. if she did she probally would of said something then and there. if you ask to go out or something and she tells you no for no good reason then i would ask her.

Good morning!
If your mom did read your chat she is giving you the opportunity to come to her to talk about it, which in turn indicates how patient your mom can be.
If she has not read your chat and not only are you stressed about her finding out but also the spots you should still talk to her about it.
The reason that you have parents is so that you can be protected and guided as best you can. If something should happen and she's aware that alcohol might've been involved she knows how to better protect you and keep you safe. If your parents don't have all the important information it's hard for them to do their job.
Alcohol IS kind of a big deal, it's more lethal than all other drugs except tobacco.
I know that it's scary when you're so young, but my mom always said that the truth is your protection. Besides who wants all that stress of hiding something (also just generally a bad habit to get into).
Good luck,
Jaime :-)
P.S. If you decide to tell her you might think about sharing this, your question and my (possibly others') response, with her. This can help illustrate that you are a thoughtful person and not just wreckless and without consideration of your responsibilities to yourself and your parents.
P.P.S. Teenagers are supposed to make mistakes, often. It's how they learn about and prepare for adulthood!

If you want to keep a good relationship with your mom, and you want to keep her trust, i suggest talking to her about it. She'll respect you for being honest and mature about it and telling her, rather than keeping it a secret from her. Just tell her what you did, that you're sorry and convince her it wont happen again because it was a mistake (or something like that). Good luck!
:)
