16/f. parents aren't divorced..
so, I'm a sophomore in school. generally, i'm a good student and i have honors/ap classes and am part of clubs and activities.
lately, my mom's been really quarrelsome. she'll panic over the tiniest things and always blame them on me.
today we had a fight. i don't know what i want to be in life yet, but i do have an idea. my mom's been PRESSURING me SO much to find out. i told her i didnt know. she started yelling at me that i'll never succeed, what kind of life am i going to live, i'm an egomaniac and a little bitch who's a coward and has no friends and that chatting on the internet is more important to me. she just EXPLODED on me. now she's not talking to me and she said "next time you need something, dont even bother coming to me. im not your mother anymore." she just randomly talks about little problems with me that have nothing to do with what we're talking about but are clearly my weaknesses.
and i told her that i have 3 years to choose what i want to be, but she began comparing me to other smart and more mature girls.
why is this? =\ (link)

If I was you, I'd feel the same. You need to say something! Mothers DON'T call their daughters mean names and tell them they won't succeed. Is she going through anything? Although she's saying those things, she does seem to be really caring about what you're going to be. So first, I want you to sit her down and tell her to just listen to you. Tell her how you feel. Everyone has flaws. Not everyone knows EXACTLY what they're going to be, what they're going to do when you grow up. You're a sophomore, you might want to just start thinking about it, but you don't have to have a definite choice. Just tell her SOON, because you don't deserve to hear that from your mom. I think she must be going through something, so maybe you can both comfort each other.
*And when she explodes, don't yell back! She can use it against you. Just keep asking what she means and why, she'll soon realize her mistake.
I really hope you guys work it out, if you need any other help please drop something in my inbox!
