well first you should tell your mom how sorry u r and that u knoe she didn't raise u to do things like this...see when kids do silly things that are frowned upon it is a reflection of the parents...also please keep this in mind anything that u post online NEVER goes away u can delete it all u want it can ALWAYS be found again...so be very careful what u post

First this should be a lesson to you that what you post online can have very real consequences. Some can be very serious indeed since Justin Carter got into very serious trouble with the law when he posted about school shootings. So you really do need to be careful. If you wouldn't say it in everyday life or around your parents then you probably shouldn't be posting it either, saying it's 'just a joke,' doesn't excuse what you say and even harmless things can be taken with offense in context.

It's good that you feel sorry and you should definitely tell your mum how sorry you are. There's nothing you can really do though since you've already made the mistake, all you can do now is serve your punishment and learn from it and try not to do it again. It might be hard at the start because your mum will obviously feel hurt about what you've done, but she still loves you and knows that sometimes kids just mess up, it's all about being a parent after all. Just show her that your sorry and that she can still trust you by behaving as best as you can.

Hope everything works out.
