I'm sure your mum doesn't hate you, she's just dissapointed. I did something like this when i was your age and i didn't learn from it, so it got worse. Mum and i eventually had no relationship at all till i was 22! Do what you say your going to do and let her know where you are and text her when you get there and leave. It sounds crappy but for her to trust you and let you enjoy being young your gonna have to put that hat on. Afterall she doesn't need to know what your up to, just that you do what you say your gonna do and be where you say your gonna be. It's only a couple years till you can go to uni or college and beleive me you'll go to some crazy parties then.x

 Ahh we all do it. I'm sure your mum even did it once or twice herself. We all say things in the heat of the moment that we dont mean, she doesnt really hate you! My mums said that out of anger a few times and always taken it back. You have to try and empathise, it will upset your mum knowing that you feel you cant be honest with her and you had to lie. Just tell her the reasons why you felt you had to lie and accept the punishment, help her out around the house, make her a cuppa and dont make an argument out of it. It should make things easier for you in the long run and saves you both extra hassle! And in future just be honest!!
