You're in eighth grade...your mom knows what's best for you so do what she asks and don't give her a hard time. You'll be glad you did.

OK, I'm not going to just tell you the same things everyone else told you. I was like you, my grades weren't the best, but they weren't the worst either. I think you are smarter than both you and your mom realize. I think maybe you are bored with your classes and work at school. In high school there will be more options for you to take classes that interest you. Until then, unfortunately you are stuck with what you have. Try to make the best of it. I know your mom is probably driving you nuts right now, but she does care and just wants what is best for you. You might want to approach her and tell her you will try really hard to bring your grades up, but if you do get them up you would also like a little more freedom. It is true, the better grades you get in school, the more options you will have when it comes to maybe going to college and possibly getting scholarships. Trust me, if you are planning on college or professional schools of any kind, scholarships are a must have. You do not want to get stuck paying for school for the rest of your life. For now, show some initiative, go to your teachers and ask them for something extra you can do to bring your grades up, or ask them if there is a study group you can join with other kids. I don't know what kind of life you have or what your mom may have gone through, but it sounds like maybe she missed out on college or some other opportunity that she doesn't want you to miss out on. I'm sure she does want the best for you. Remember though, as long as you try really hard, even if you don't get perfect grades all the time all the way through school, there are still opportunites for college and careers. Don't put too much pressure on yourself; that will only make things harder for you.

I don't know where you are in school, but here a 75% would be barely passing. You are almost at the point in your academic career that will be recorded in the permanent file. If your grades are still marginal, you will not be able to go to college and make something of your life.
Your mother wants you to have all the choices and chances in the world, and not have your future options limited by your poor grades and lack of motivation. MIND YOUR MOTHER AND CRACK THE BOOKS!!!

She's only looking out for your best interest. It's tough out there in the real world. You will be going to high school pretty soon, where it gets harder. All she's doing is preparing you for a great future. Appreciate her and thank her everyday for watching over you. Not to many mothers care, as least yours does. Be patient. If it bothers you so much, talk to her and come to some come of agreement for study time.

the 8th grade might not be a big deal to you now ... but further down the line, to do well, you will need a solid foundation, which you are building now. Your mother just wants the best for you, and just follow her advice - you'll be glad you did :) Studying harder now will give you more options in life, particularly in the area of picking universities and careers.
take care :)

WELL...give yourself time... try to study all you can..especially when she is around...and find ways to rest and relax when she is not around. Don't lie to her.. but take it easy....don't stress about it..just be smart and create your own little system.. YES... the 8th grade IS..a big deal.. She loves you and doesn't want to see you fail...and this is the only way she knows how to do it. Don't hate her...at least she cares.. My mother never made me study and I did fail... I was pregnant by the age of 16. I wish my mom made me study.. YOU will thank her one day! Good Luck!

I understand her saying this if you are failing but otherwise she
should back down and let you have some fun.
