What teens really want to ask their own Moms, but are afraid to ask.

Our friends at CosmoGirl asked their readers: What's the one question you'd like to ask Moms? We promised to deliver real, honest answers as only Mom•Logic can. Check out the following question from Samantha, then share your Mom Logic.

"My mom doesn't trust me. I had problems in the past where I lied a lot, but now that I'm trying to change, she won't give me the space to do so. How can I show her that I really do want to tell the truth if she won't even give me the opportunity?"
- Samantha, 17

"What really works for me and my daughters, is for us to be honest about how we feel and admit when we make mistakes. I think it could be good for you, first of all, to tell your mom that you feel hurt and frustrated that you’ve lost her trust. Tell her that you realize you screwed up by lying to her in the past—and you regret that now. And then communicate to her that you hope she’ll give you a chance to prove that you can change. As time goes by, I’m confident you’ll restore her trust in you!" - Jill, Mom of two

"You have to earn your mom's trust again. And that might take some
time. I know it's frustrating to pay for your past mistakes, but it's
got to be done. Don't break curfew. Don't sneak out. Don't lie. Once
your mom sees that you are on the straight and narrow (and are
genuinely remorseful about your past actions), she'll probably loosen
the reins." - Kim, Mom of three

"You really have to stop lying COMPLETELY—it's going to take time, but she will start trusting you again. Just know that if you slip and lie again, you may never get her to trust you again." - Lisa, Mom of two
