  • "Hi mom I have detention."
  • Just tell her the truth; if you don't it can make her lose trust in you.
  • You could just say like: "Mom, I got detention today and I don't really know why. My friend was talking to me and I answered back and it just happened. I am really sorry I didn't know it would happen."
  • In many ways, it does depend on what you did. However, no matter what you did, the best thing to do is tell the truth. The school can easily contact your parents about your detention, and it is better that you tell them as opposed to the school. If you want your mother to be happy, make sure you are polite and seem genuinely apologetic. Say something like "Hey mom, I'm really sorry, but I got a detention today for ________ . I know what I did wrong, and I will never do it again. I've learned my lesson, and I thought that you should know how truly sorry I am for doing it." Accompany this with a hug. Although it is a bit dramatic, it usually works if done correctly.
  • Write it on a note if you don't feel you can do it face-to-face. Just be honest; she'll appreciate it.
  • YOU: Hey mom.

    MOM: Hey honey.

    YOU: Mom, I'm a bad kid.

    MOM: What, no you're not!

    YOU: Yes I am; everyone hates me.

    MOM: Don't say that!

    YOU: No, it's true! My friends hate me, you hate me and even my teachers hate me!

    MOM: Why in the world do you think I hate you?

    YOU: Because you judge me and get mad at me every time I do something even if I didn't mean to or even if it wasn't my fault!

    MOM: Honey, you know that's not true...

    YOU: YES IT IS!

    MOM: Okay then why do your teachers and friends hate you? Can you answer that?

    YOU: My friends aren't talking to me because they think I'm a freak since the teachers gave me detention and obviously the detention is how the teachers hate me!

    MOM: Why did you get detention?!

    YOU: SEE?! I TOLD YOU YOU'D GET MAD AND JUDGE ME! You just don't understand... (then start to cry)
