I'm a lot closer to being a teenage girl than to being a mom, so take what I say with a grain of salt (rjwood can give you the parent's perspective). If your parents really are that strict, I think it would do more harm than good for you to tell her. You've learned a tough lesson, and it sounds like you've taken enough punishment. Your parents have to realize at some point that you are mature enough to make your own decisions and solve your own problems, and if they are the type to not allow you the freedom to do this with their permission, then it might be the appropriate decision to take matters into your own hands. Perhaps if you break off contact and show that you are strong enough to resist his charms and friendship, you can eventually tell your mom at a point where she will recognize your maturity and commend your decision, rather than freak out at the thought of her baby getting hurt and punish you.
