hi im 14 live in newfoundland and i just like giving advice and helping out but im homest weither it nice or brutal

advice

I am in ninth grade. I am doing ok in school, like A's, B's and a few C's, but my parents aren't happy. At all. They think that a B- is, and I quote, "terrible". Well, my mom mostly. She thinks that if I have time to do all the internet activity I do, then I sooo have time to do schoolwork. Like, schoolwork is the most important and excited thing in the world, right?? UGH. She was giving me THE hardest time about it. Saying that some of the A-'s---A-'s!!!---were alllmost B+, and is that good enough for my mom?? Nooooo. Just cuz she didn't finish college and only went to Santa Monica and Stern, and wants me and my sisters to be perfect students. She seriously said that I should've done the extra credit in one of my history classes b/c I should if I have the opportunity, even though I'm getting an A in that class. PLEASE. I mean, I'd much rather be having fun. My motto is to live my life to the fullest, while succeeding as well as you can. I DO NOT believe that school comes first, and no matter how hard I try to tell my mom this, she says that it's life, and I have to deal. I even reasoned---didn't argue, I wasn't nasty, I REASONED---w/ her, but her view of an opinion is "giving her lip". Just b/c I am her kid, I have to agree w/ her outlooks. And my sister is NOT helping. She does well in school, and when I even BOTHER to complain about my mom to her, she agrees w/ her. And my mom doesn't even really appreciate the things I already CAN do. Like play guitar, figure things out nice and fast w/o instruction manuals, juggle, write stories and songs, and other stuff. She just cares that I am not getting A+'s ("We feel that you are capable, and you're not showing us that"---well, maybe I'm NOT capable after all!!!), not getting together w/ every person in my class (they all hang out w/ boys!! which i am not allowed to do!!), and not setting my goal as getting A+'s and going to an IV league school. IT. DRIVES. ME. INSANE. There is this rocker chick inside me wanting to come out, but of course, I am forced to be an almost-prep b/c the only clean music is pop. Thank G-D that Jesse McCartney is good (please don't comment on that). Well, I have to go, but PLEEASE advise and don't skip, and don't say to talk. It doesn't work. (I WILL RATE 5 IF U CAN ANSWER THIS AT ALL.)
