Youcould start the conversation by asking her how many detentions she got... if any. And if she says no, ask her if your dad got any.. and... yeah.. you get the picture. She will figure out why you're asking. It's not the end of the world.

well just walk up to her and say "hey mom guess what...I got detention" *yay*!!!"

No just kidding LOL! Well tell her that today at school *blah blah blah* and then I got detention. I really didn't mean to (let's hope so) *blah blah blah* I'm really sorry *blah blah blah* then maybe she will understand!!

Great luck!!

Dear gates,
I run a detention program so I know you got a detention for something that you have done that was against the school rules. So, start by telling your mother how you have learned a new lesson. Explain what you got the detention for and how you now know what the proper behaviours are. Adults love when kids have leaned from their mistakes.
Sue...good luck

I am a mom of a 15 year old boy who has gotten dentention a few times over the last 3 years. I have never been pleased that he got detention because I wasnt happy that he had made a poor choice in his behavior. But, the worst thing was the time he tried to hide it from me...with the cooperation of his pricipal! Show your mom that you are growing up. just as Sue said above, let her know what you did and the lesson you have learned. then understand she may still be angry. but taking responsibility for your actions and accepting any additional punishment your mom may give you without freaking out will show her you truly did learn your lesson and you are growing up! that is something she will see and in the long run it can have a really positive effect on how she relates to you. just dont deceive her...it will only cause harm to your relationship, and will have the opposite effect that you are looking for...in the long run. good luck !
