... party. i knew there were going to be drinking, and i even got my self a bottle of something. i was really looking forward to it, and it turned out to be a really fun night and i had the time of my life. i wouldnt exactly say i was completely drunk, but i was not sober, so on a scale of 1-10 i would say i was a 5-6 maybe. but idk, i remember everything and it was so much fun! ive been to 3 other kind-of partys, but i never drank as much as i did this night, i just tasted. my mom never found out about this because i wasnt too nervous because i knew i werent going to get drunk or anything so i wasnt afraid to get busted. but this time i was, and i think she suspected it aswell as my brother were sure that i was going to drink. (my mom always says i can say things to her and that i should instead of keeping it a secret, but i never feel like she would understand. ps pls dont say "shes ur mom she'll understand blah blah cuz" cause she wont..) and i KNOW my brother drank when he was 16 (i am 16 aswell) and my mom never found out, and when we argued yesterday, i said he drank when he was 16 and that it was unfair that she trusted him more than me, and she doesnt believe that he drank. (i never said anything about me drinking, we argued bc she was all up in my buisness, although i called her twice that night and she called me alot and i answered all the text and did everything i was supposed to do.) what im saying is, i think i might have to tell her, bc i dont want her to find out. but i really want to to parties and stuff, but im afraid she wont let me. btw im acctually a really responsible girl, i know how to take care of myself. and all my friends drink. (i do not drink bc of group pressure, i want to drink). my mom is super overprotective . (im not allowed to stay home alone over night lol). ok now: i think i might tell her soon idk, what should i say? ive told u about my situation, pls come up with something so she will see my point of view and not be too dissapoined and never let me out again!! AND i KNOW she were like me when she was young so i think its kinda hypocrite of her to get so angry. ( I KNOW ITS BC SHE CARES BUT ITS NORMAL FOR TEENS TO GO OUT OK?) please help and thanks for your time:):):):)
Please help!! would appriciate if u read the whole thing!!! this weekend, I was invited to a?

You have to realise that if you live with her she does have the right to punish you and not understand why you had to do it. Personally I drank at your age and my mum punished me alot for it. But i weighed up each night out based on if it was worth being in trouble later that night. I'm sure it would have been worth it to you for this night out and so I suggest telling her bearing that in mind "it was worth it"-though dont tell her that whatever you do.
Just say I know I did wrong mum and please don't be angry but I feel you should know i went out drinking the other night, it was so much fun and i never drink too much to not be in control, and i never give into peer pressure, i just wanted to have a nice night.
Honestly I think she might be mad regardless what you say, but this anger will pass it is just in the moment, but she will get over it. It isn't like she will kick you out since your not legal age to drink or be on your own, so if she blows a casket she could get arrested if you were caught drinking. Now, advice on what to tell your mom?
I would recommend sitting down with her and saying that you know the consequences on drinking, but understand that you have a social life , and are aware that sometimes there are others who drink to much, but you at responsible and do not have more than a drink or two. (Don't go blabbering hoe you chugged a 24case lol) but seriously she is your mom and she will get over it if she gets angry. If you have drank before then say you have, that way she can remember how you acted, trust me there are some teens out there that go home with biggest attitude on earth just remember to be respectful and if she gets angry simply say "I know mother, I greatly apologize if I have burden you, but understand that I am responsible and can handle it." ... Don't start yelling at her remember she is the parent and even though it may sometimes not seem like it she loves you and even though you might hurt her she will forgive you. She is your mother after all. All moms have to deal with heartaches from there children, but I am sure she rather hear it from you then someone else.
