My mum doesn't know about my Instagram account?

My mum doesn't know about my Instagram account?
My mum doesn't really like social media. I'm not allowed Facebook or Twitter etc as she thinks its unnecessary.
But I made an Instagram account in secret.
I have a personal account, which I follow my friends on and a few youtubers and celebrities. People I don't know are following me as I have set it public.
I have 99 followers, and I am thinking of setting it to private when I reach 100.
I also recently made second account, just for quotes etc. That is also on public.

She nags me about spending too much time on my iPod, and she blames my dad for buying it for me (divorced).
One of my friend's mum's had discovered I have it, and she asked me about it a few days ago. I really don't want a parent to accidently tell her about it.
I kinda want to tell her about it as I feel guilty, but I'm worried she'll get angry. She would probably confiscate my iPod and tell my dad, which I DO NOT want to happen.

Then again, I could just delete both accounts and ask to have one with her permission (answer would probably be no)
Or just delete the accounts and not get a new one.

Opinions on what I could do would be great!
Thanks!
Also, she is currently considering me getting a GoodReads account and Pinterest, as it would help my sister with her business (author).
Don't know if that would make any impact?

Telling the truth is the right thing to do. If you lie to her, at some point you may start stuttering or she may know your lying and get even angrier than before. I think you should tell her the truth and just say that you wanted to check it out or something. Good lucK!!!

I think you should go to her and tell her the truth. Just show her what Instagram is (if she doesn't know) and tell her there's nothing wrong with it, if she's still abit iffy then give her your password or something so she knows you're safe, not doing something stupid. If you sit her down and explain to her, chances are she'll understand you and might let you continue using Instagram. Good luck

There is nothing wrong with having an Instagram account, you can use it to communicate with your friends. But if your worried about your mom finding out then you should probably shut it down, maybe ask for her opinion first. I know you said she will probably say no, but tell her all your friends have accounts. Convince her that nothing wrong could possibly happen if you owned an account, but then again if she says no then you should probably respect her opinion and just not use it. Because if she finds out about it she may not trust you again.
