I did very poorly in school for 9 years, really good for 1, and really bad my soph year. now im a junior and i want more than anything to get As and Bs. I am busting my ass in all of my classes. Over the summer i took an online geometry class and I failed it. I didn't tell my mom becuase I knew she wouldn't believe me when i told her why, and I knew she would come up with a completely unreasonable punishment, and considering it was an accident i failed. So she found out today and like i guessed went psycho on me. She told me that I could only see my boyfriend one time a week and could talk to him for 15 minutes a day tops. This and I would be grounded to my room. This punishment was for 9 weeks. Which means I miss the football games, and homecoming. She says she cant trust me, that i am lying about doing well in school, and that I am being lazy. None of which I am doing. I am so upset I can feel the teers pushing behind my eyes, the blood pulsing in my neck and ears, and my fingers and shoulders are shaking. I broke out in tears. I dont know what to do. I have hated my mom for years and years but never so much as now. She took away the one person that is always there for me, that always wants to talk and listen to me, and that I love more than anything and anyone in the world. He will understand and he will be there for me but I hate not being there for him cause hes going through about the same thing. I want to leave but I cant. I tried talking to my mom, but she refuses to listen and its been that way for years. what do i do!!!

Moving out from your parents is not always the answer. she has to try to get a good relationship with her mom eventually. jamesshadowwolf Posted at 1:35 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from shorty 22 at 1:27 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 i am actually doing amazing in my courses. my mom doesn't believe me and she didnt' believe me when the teachers told her. she is mad at me for what i did in the past and for not breaking up with my boyfriend cause she doesnt like him (i gave him a chance when i shouldn't have) No effence to your mother but she can only control so much of your life. tell her your growing up that there is not much she can do for who and who you are not with. jamesshadowwolf Posted at 1:33 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 first of all try talking to your teachers for help in class. Second talk to your mom and try getting a good relationship between the both of you. if that can't work then try showing her your really trying in school. Third tell you mother how much your boyfriend means to you. Fourth tell you boyfriend of whats going on. try not to break your moms punishment yet becuase you wanna try to get a good relationship. lastly tell your mom your not doing so great and mabye she will be able to help you to. tell her your trying really hard and gettign help by everyone that you are. and if she won't belive you show this entire topic to her. renosj Posted at 1:31 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 i know exactly how ur feeling.. i'm 15, same things happen to me all you have to do, is in the middle of the 9 weeks, or whenever the tears stop being pushed, calm down, and go talk to her. easy, and calm.. u need to tell her exactly how you feel, exactly what you think of her. show her this post, it will do fine. you dont need to stick around for a reply, just say what u have to say, and go back to ur room. she'll come to you later RubberTrees Posted at 1:31 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Does your boyfriend have access to the internet? Perhaps try talking to him from there from not on.   As for school, it seems that you're having difficulties learning what they're teaching if you continue to fail. This is not your fault, but the school's. Try talking to your counselor about it, and telling them if you can change your classes (what type of classes are you talking, btw? Honors, advance, regular, remedial?) As for your mother, I suppose she's trying to do the best she can to make you have a better education. All you can really do is try to talk to her about it, and she if she can get you a tutor to help you after school/weekends. Or see if she can help you get your classes changed. All you can do is stay calm, remember that your mother is just trying to do this for your own good - even if you don't agree with her - and don't get too down about being punished. edit; i reread it. Okay, tell your mother to talk to your counselor so she can see your grades.  That should convince her that you're doing good in school. kristajoe2009 Posted at 1:27 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 run away or move out. shorty 22 Posted at 1:27 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 i am actually doing amazing in my courses. my mom doesn't believe me and she didnt' believe me when the teachers told her. she is mad at me for what i did in the past and for not breaking up with my boyfriend cause she doesnt like him (i gave him a chance when i shouldn't have) Natsy Posted at 1:26 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 talk to your teachers and ask for help with improving your grades All 8 previous replies displayed.
