well, you should help with the chores because that's how a family functions. and still have time to study. get up and do stuff around the house like washing dishes and taking care of tidying up, it'll be good exercise and make you feel better about yourself (and get your mom off your back too so you can in fact study more efficiently.)

That is great that you are into studying! It will help you get you where you want to go in life. I also hope that when you do "get there" it will be a clean place. *lol* Your mother just wants to raise a well adjusted kid that is not going to be a slob. Also if she hears about other kids cleaning/chores, she knows how much that helps on a household, and probably just wants to see the same in hers. Step up to the plate and take some responsibility and take on a task. Most chores/cleaning can be done within a reasonable amount of time, so you will always have time for your studying.
Besides.....once you start doing a chore, after a few weeks you can politely ask her to stop comparing you to these other kids. Mention to her that there are aspects within you that are probably better than these kids and that you would like those to be taken into account in the future. That will show your mother that you are turning into a adult. Good luck and get working on a chore.
Ps: If one of those kids are earning money for what they do around the house, then they are not truely doing it to "help". They are doing it for the money. You should do your chores without asking for money. If your parents are providing your a roof over your head, and clothes on your back........it's the least you can do for the house.

My mom was a housekeeper - my dad was the breadwinner. She did all of the more strenuous housework, even though she had us (her two daughters) help on weekends with pickup and sweeping and dusting.
As a result, I never learned about the best chemicals to use to clean windows, or unstain clothes or other basic cleaning stuff - that would make my life a bit easier, now that I own my own home - but am not rich enough to afford a maid.
Learning is easier the younger you are. Allow yourself to experience different experiences, even if they are not "fun" - as long as they are not inherently unsafe, I see as a "good thing". The experience will help you be an even more wonderful person in the future.

This happens and parents don't realize they are comparing you and nag the hell out of you. That's unfortunate.
They mean well though - and they want nothing but the best for you. Inwardly, they wish you could be like them (whatever that is).
Be understanding - just say she is right - and get on with yours. Help around the house more because this poor soul is managing everything by herself. She needs your contribution. Just that minor change in you is a welcome relief for her. I bet.
If you are sure of what you are doing and where you want to go - your parents will accept those differences later. When you get to be successful, all is forgotton. Remember, I said When not IF.

it is very good that u like to study, but every child must know how to help out in the house. Discuss it with your mom let her tell u which chores she would like you to do.

My Dad use to pull that crap. Annoyed the hell out of use. I think in some weird way he was trying to motivate us. But the kids we got compared to are drug addicts now who dropped out of school and are probably in jail, or working some crap job to pay for whatever they're on. So the way I see it, my sister's and I got the last laugh.

sometimes parents compre their children with others,only to make thoeir children adopt better habits,it doesnt mean that parents love u less,they deep down inside do appreciate ur habits but want to see u become perfect,thats all.whenever ur mom compares u with those kids,,,,u just tell her that u ll try ur best,she ll be satisfied and wont compare u,,,,,,,,,,remeber parents love thier children more than any thing else,,,they just want them to be perfect,,
