i am 15 years old. my mother is one of the most ignorant influences in my life, and she will never change.She never has anything positive to say about me and she is ignorant to many things in my life. There is a very high chance that i can make it very far in track and field, i have been selected to go to europe for a championship, and flat out she tells i cannot go. She has no knowledge of the event, and she doesnt want to know. So i called her ignorant. Ignorant does not mean stupid, it means not knowing about something, and in my mom's case she has no intent of knowing. It is the same thing for any problem, my mom knows nothing about a subject, but she thinks she can make an insightful decision about everything. How can you make a decision or form an opinion on something you have no idea about? i tell her she's not very supportive of me, and she is never happy with my accomplishments. this applies to school too its always why couldnt you do better? looking out for my best interests?

Talk to your school counselor and any one who can help you and will understand. There may be a way you can still go through the school.. Explain the situation....And don't let your Mom make you bitter, always do your best and keep on trying just to show your mom you are the better person. and most of all do it for yourself.
Good luck ..

I'm pretty sure you mother knew what you meant when you called her ignorant, but, you still shouldn't have done that. Maybe you should try to explain to her thoroughly how much it would mean to you if she allowed you to compete in Europe. And if you feel like she's a negative influence, don't let what she says discourage you. Keep pushing remember always P.U.S.H! Pray Until Something Happens!

I really feel for you. Where is your father? Maybe he can help you out. It does sound as if your mom is ignorant. But instead of talking with you about this she is talking at you. That would make me mad too. If you can't talk to your dad, go to a trusted relative or maybe a counselor. I think you should be able to go. This could be a once in a lifetime thing. Good luck to you.

Instead of calling her ignorant, you should have asked her to talk to your coach. Calling her names won't accomplish anything.
