I've been in adv. drama the past term, I haven't enjoyed it at all, I've just been hanging in. I'm ready to transfer out, it's just not worth it. My mom is so mad at me, every time I talk to her about it, she says "I really wish you'd stay in. It's good for you" But I just hate that class. I hate the teacher and I have no friends in that class. How do I get my mom to see it like I do?

it also interferes with my academics. My mom just thinks I want and excuse, but it truly does.

Even though your Mom just has your best interest in mind, it's going to come out like she's disappointed in the fact that you're not giving it your all. Maybe she thinks that she knows what it's like and how valuable it'll be to your future, but you're just not seeing it. It also must be hurtful for her to see that you're old enough to make your own decisions instead of listening to her advice. Is there any possibility of making a friend in that class now? That might be worth sticking it out with a bad teacher. If not, I'm all for making your own decision...so long as Mom isn't going to take away privildege from you!

On one hand I think maybe your mom doesn't want you to be a quitter. If you drop out of that class, how much will you be actually giving up?
Was acting something you thought you would enjoy?
Or was it your passion even before you took the class.
The fact is, there will be many times you will encounter obstacles to the goals you set for yourself. If you simply give up on a goal everytime you encounter an obstacle, then you will never achieve anything. You will instead just go through life setting new goals everytime things get a little unpleasant before you realize your dreams.
On the other hand, I also advise that you only stay in this class if this was something that only YOU wanted in the 1st place. Many times people don't realize their dreams, so when they become parents they try to live out their dreams vicariously through their children.
So by all means, stay in it if this class is in pusuit of your own personal dreams.
But if you are sure that this is only your moms dream then remind her of that, & tell her that this is YOUR life.
She had HER one chance, so she needs to stop thinking of your as her 2nd go around.

I think you should switch out because you want to. When I was 17, I was in Marching band and had been for 5 years. I hated it because it got old, and there was too much going on. She said the EXACT same thing your mother did, but I still quit anyway because it was better for ME.
I'm a happy and successful vet now. When I was in band, my grades were slipping because it took up so much time! I'm happy that I quit. Band had nothing to do with my future!
I'm happy where I am today!

Stop whining and just do it. If nothing else you learn not to quit.
