family problems are normal. they happen in ALL families no matter how perfect they may seem. running away is not the answer even though at some times it sounds like it would. Everyone has problems with their parents but if you can find a way to work things out your parents could be the bestest friends youve ever had. They went through what youre going through for the most part and they love you MORE than any of your friends ever could. Just try your best to do good in school so your mom has less to stress about and when she does get mad about something try to see it from her point of view. If it doesnt make sense to you ask her but in a calm way. Yelling just makes things more stressful for the both of yall. Try to be as loving to her as you can and you will recieve it back from her. If you put an effort into it only good can come from it. I hope it all works out!

Definitely do not run away - that would just cause so many problems for you and a lot of heartache for your Mum. It may seem like a good solution at the moment but it is not the answer.

Your Mum loves you and wants the best for, but sometimes even Mums have a hard time explaining why. The words may not come easily or she may have a lot on her mind too.

Only when we are grown up and have responsibilities do we realise that we should have made the most of schooling and childhood. Life is never easier or happier than when someone else has to do all the worrying about everyday living and paying the bills.

If you miss a paper - promise her you will catch up and do your best not to miss one again. Tell her you love her and understand why she loses her temper and will do your best at school. If you know you have a smart mouth, remember that your words can hurt. If you think your Mum won't listen to you if you talk reasonably to her, try writing a note to apologise or explain.

Talking quietly will always diffuse a tense situation more easily than runnning away screaming. Try counting to ten and listening to what your Mum says. The more you listen to her the less likely she is to go off on one at you.

Always remember that time never stands still and one day you will quite likely be in the same position with your own child as you are now. Nothing ever lasts so you must make the most of today and sooner than you realise, your childhood life will be long gone along with the security provided by your parents.

I wish you all the very best and hope that you think hard before taking any action that is likely to cause you harm. Take care.

well i can see how sometimes you can feel like giving up on everything and running away from it all but i dont think you should. there will always be hard times in life and you have to learn how to face them.it may seem pretty simple when ppl say to talk to your mom about the way you feel but i know its not.anywho you need to talk to her.when i feel my parents are being too mean or something i always l00se my temper and scream at them by saying how much i hate it when they treat me like they do,i run up to my room and stay.in a while they start noticing what they have done wrong and do their best to change it. i know my way isint the best way but it works for me.try coming up with a way of making her understand how you are feeling and im sure she will come to her sences because after all they are parents and care for us. just please dont run away!there iz a big and dangerous world out there and trust me your mom is safer than out there...promise!=]
