My mom and I just had a huge fight!?

Question

My mom and I just had a huge fight!?
The night before last I asked her to call a christian pricate school and ask them could I enroll. I have been in home schooling on the computer for almost 2 years now and sadly i have no friends =[. Well, at the begginging of the school year, I had to finish my 7th grade work. Well, now I'm behind and they are going to kick me out on the 12th because I am 36 assignments behind. 3 weeks ago the teacher told me not to worry about it, but 2 weeks ago they told me I had to have 45 assignments done. My mom has been screaming at me, because I told her, whats the point in going to turtoring tommorrow when I am going to be kicked out anyways. She was like " im taking your Jamie Foxx tickets back" I just snapped and screamed back at her " fine, take them back!" She just keeps on making me feel like im never going to be anything =[ She said " maybe your better off in a detention home" and I screamed back " Maybe I am" and she was like

she was like " call your teacher tommorrow and tell her that"
and I screamed back " your the one that wants me to go!" What i don't understand is, two years ago I was one of the baddest kids in my school. I was out of control, I ran the streets ect... but I do not get to do anything now... I have not went bowling is 3 years... I have not acctually been out of he house in 2.... Im home schooled on the computer and she always treats me like Im no good.. I get good grades.. What am I supposed to do?? How can i fix this??

Answer 1

Honey, I'm sure your mom just wants the best for you. She is probably really irritated that you are not doing your work. You said it yourself that you were doing really well before. You were doing so well that you thought home schooling would be a breeze. You asked your mom if you could do it, she appreciated how well you were doing in school at the time and she trusted you to do the home schooling. Then you found out that home schooling isn't as easy as you thought because you didn't have the interaction with your friends and you started doing anything but your school work. After looking at the number of questions you've been doing even in just the last day, even I can see that you aren't even trying. If you want to go to a private christian school, maybe you should try proving to your mom that you deserve it. Private school is very expensive. When you are so far behind in home school, how can she be sure that you are going to do the work in the private school?
Don't be so hard on your mom. She is just worried about you. Take it from a mom. Just be honest with yourself about this. I'm not judging you either. I know you are 15 years old and I'm sure just like any other 15 yo girl, you are more interested in friends and the computer and talking on the phone... than doing school work. I get it. But if you want something from your mom, maybe you should try earning it and tell you mom how much you love her and how much you appreciate her and that you will start working a lot harder from now on. Then just do it. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I never had good grades as a child, and I would always fight with my parents because of this, especially my mum.
Now that I've grown up and at the age of 20 I see my mother not as a mother but as an adult.
Listen to her, talk to her and don't scream.
For this to get sorted out both you and your mum need to act civilised. Be the better person and make the first move.
Talk to her about it calmy and tell her you want to sort this problem out. Like someone said above, life is too short to to put up with pointless problems like this.

Get your schooling done, whether it be at home or at a private school. If you hate getting stuck in doors all day go for a walk during lunch, at 3pm go to the shopping centre and have a drink.
Make friends by going out on weekends and joining clubs maybe doing a karake class one night a week, go to a summer camp during the break, go to the library and do your homework there you'll find many students go to the library to do their research during the weekends.
Ask your mum for some support and help rather than negative words.

Answer 3

You probably won't like what I am about to say but here goes.

You are where you are right now because of your past behavior.

The school you are asking your mother to enroll you in might possibly cost more than she can afford.

You are behind in your school work because you did not do the assignments.

It's never to late to right a wrong. My advice to you is to first, apologize to your mother. Tell her that you are sorry. Then get on that computer and start working on those assignments. If you show effort there might be a chance that will give you an extension. If they don't at least you know that you made the effort. Effort is rewarded. It sounds like the things that you and your mother said were said out of anger. I'm sure she is feeling pretty awful right now as well.
I hope everything works out for you.

Answer 4

What in the world did you do to be punished for 2 years???? And how old were you when you were causing all of the chaos at your old school because you sound really young still. You need to tell your mom that you have grown up alot since you have been home schooled and you feel like you are being punished for longer than deserved. But on that note... you better get on your work! There is no reason why a home schooled kid should be that far behind. You are not proving you are responsible. Go to the tutor if your mom says... she may have already paid for it.

Answer 5

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time....It sounds like when your mom is afraid....anger gets the best of her....I am sure she wants what is best for you and she doesn't know how she can fix this for you....It is scaring her and unfortunately you are the one available to take her frustrations out on .....I would just write her a little note...."tell her you love her....tell her you are sorry if you have disappointed her....tell her please don't give up on me....I am trying." Really mean it....and hopefully she will come around. Just remember....you will be an adult soon enough. Be strong....this time in your life will not be forever. Is there a church near by that you could get involved in?....Be part of a youth group? Good luck.

Answer 6

Talk to your mom and tell her you're sorry. Look for another school and DO YOUR WORK, ON TIME. Don't make excuses. If you really haven't left the house for two years, then you shouldn't be behind in your assignments. Grow up and take responsibility. I'm sure your mom is tired of you messing. up. Stop messing up and do what you're supposed to do. It's that simple.

Answer 7

This is my advice and this doesn't mean a hill of beans. But part of your problem is that you have spent way too much time with your mother. It is no longer about the message, but the messenger. You should consider going to a larger private or public school to 1) give you & your mother a break with your relationship and 2) to give you a chance to improve your social skills with other people in a larger social setting, including people of different backgrounds than yourself. I think from what you have written that you two are spending too much time together.

Answer 8

I see that you are 15-years old. From looking at your profile, it seems you spend much too much time on "Answers". You are a Level 4. You will have to discipline yourself to change.

If you had put one-half of this time in doing school-work, you would have had your assignments done.

Granted, you need recreation time, but less on Answers and more time on homework.

Answer 9

This is simple. You are behind by 45 assignments and you are on the computer in Yahoo Answers. Go do your assignments.

Answer 10

your mom will always be your mom no matter what ...and if you are where your at that's your flat so instead of screaming to each other show her that u can do your work and that u have changed screaming is not going to get you any where
