Question Posted Saturday December 18 2004, 2:51 pm
I have been working so hard in school. and my mom wont let me do anything! i have worked my butt off, and all she will let me do is work more! She expects me to read books in one day, yet she doesnt believe i can write an essay in one hour when i am determined to go to a play with my friends! I am getting so tired, i have had so much pressure on myself i feel like i am going to crack under it! PLEASE help me! what do i do!? I am pratically being grounded from a life! Even though its winter vacation she wont let me do hardly anything now either! She went shopping today right after i woke up..so i didnt wanna go, becuz i had just woken up..and she was lke. How about you read a book or something! agh! All of this work isnt making my brain stronger! Its making it over-pressured and weak! I really need advice!

JyNxiE answered Monday December 20 2004, 2:20 pm: I can relate to that. My mom expects me to be this perfect straight A student. I work hard and dont do anything fun on weekdays. Yet she still finds ways to keep me at home on weekends. Everyone says the best way to deal with this situation is to talk to your mom about the enormous pressure she's putting on you and try to get her to see it. My advice would be to sit her down and explain how you feel. It may work, it may not, but it's worth a shot, right?

Don't settle for "read a book", ask her why she constantly tells you to do all these things. Maybe she struggled in school or failed at something and doesn't want you to make the mistake she did. There is most likely a reason as to why she constantly works you hard. Hope I helped! [ dancindanger's advice column | Ask dancindanger A Question ]

As for advice on this one, I have to give you that classic answer that you probably don't want to hear: Sit her down and talk to her. Tell her that all the pressure she's putting on you is making you resentful of her and that you don't think it's healthy that you don't get to have a life. Tell her you understand that she wants the best for you and wants you to be as educated as possible, but you have to have fun while you still can. [ Berri's advice column | Ask Berri A Question ]
