My Mom
My mom is punishing me because i got an In danger of failing in math. She told me No Comp. for 2 weeks, I dont really want that so I go on anyway. She caught me on and started cursing about how she doesnt trust me and how I "ripped her heart out" and how I'm disrespecting her, I had plans with my best firend tomorrow which she's making me cancel and she's just mad. I don undestand why she has to be on my back about it, she should just let me be. She talks about how she doesnt want the punishment to get bad, but she's making it bad, no one is forcing her to make things this bad, she's doing it on her own.
What can I do?!

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
In my opinion that punishment is not that bad you can handle not being on the computer for 2weeks you are making it worst on yourself by getting on the computer any way so understand that your mom is just doing that cause she cares about you and that you get a good education. need more advice e-mail me at duckieh20lol@hotmail.com

I can understand where you're coming from. I got in trouble for having a C in Math. See how much of a difference that makes. My parents are VERY strict and I come from a strict Russian family. Academics is the thing that matters the most, besides health, and stuff like that. You know yourself that you can do better in Math. Just TRY. Take notes, and get a better understanding of the material. I had a C [74%] in math in 1st Quarter; it's the end of 2nd quarter and I raised up my grade to an 83% [B]. You just have to work hard. I hate Math with a passion, it's just.. well.. ANNOYING. Try to do extra credit and try talking with your teacher if you have trouble understanding. Just try. And your mom is right, sorry to say; but she wants the best for you and your education. Don't argue when she talks with you, and try to hear her out. She would never want the worst for you, she wants you to have a good education.

Hate to tell you, kiddo, but your mother is right. I know you aren't going to like what I have to say, but you need to wake up and smell the proverbial roses.
Let's see... math is a part of your education. Your education is highly important for your future. It's a wonderful thing that she cares about that.
Hmmm.... let's weigh it out here and see what's important...
Computer..... Future
Plans with friends..... Future
I know your future outweighs both of these things, and so does your mom. That's why you are grounded from these things, because you need to take some time to put your priorities in order and focus on what is most important for you to make it in life outside of your high school world.
She wants you to spend less time goofing off on the computer and with your friends and spend more time getting your academics back on track. She doesn't want you to be a failure in your studies because she definitely doesn't want you to be a failure in life.
She isn't the one making things this bad. You are doing it to yourself.

Haha.
I remember being 13.
I used to think my parents were out to get me.
Also, I have a 12 year old sister, who get ANYTHING and EVERYTHING she wants.
Yeah, I still get attention.
But I mean...
I get in trouble more and yelled at more.
Parents will be parents.
You may not believe me buttt...
She probably has a good reason.
All of this will pay off. Believe it or not, she's a GOOD mom.
If she just "let you be", you would probably fail or something.
She's just pushing you to be the best you can be.
And maybe she knows that this isn't your BEST.
You can do better.
Be thankful she cares.
Some mom's don't talk to their kids about school, love life, families, ect.
Some mom's couldn't care less what they're kids eat or drink or do.
Your mom does.
Believe it or not, I would say you're pretty dang lucky.
I mean, I'm only 15 so I'm still at the argumentative age but I'm really starting to get over that phase.
I'm starting to appreciate my mom for what she DOES do. Not comment on what she DOESN'T do.
Trust me, babe.
We are in the same boat.
=D
Parents can be a bit frustrating at times.
You may argue with them and stuff.
Buttt...
I learned a new trick.
=D
When your mom tells you what you did wrong, don't argue or disagree with her.
Even is you DO disagree, if you don't say a word, it'll be over in like, 2 seconds.
You'll get off the hook and she won't be mad.
Just say "Yes Ma'am."
And it'll work out.
Take my advice ONCE and tell me how it goes.
It's a lot easier than arguing with her.
Because trust me, you'll never win.
Take your punishment.
If you break it, there will be WORSE consequences.
Especially if you get caught.
Sorry this is so long.
haha
I just have a LOT to say on this topic and I appluade you if you made it this far but if you didn't, that's okay too.
haha

WELl you know parents will be parents. . .
The best thing to do is to just do what she says..
When your punishment is over talk just the two of you and try to see her side of things...
And at the same time explain your side too. But if this starts an arguement be the bigger persona dn apoligize and walk away ((not like a smart butt either))
during your punishment, you need to avoid any arguement with your mom, clean up around the house, do your best in math, and do everything your mom asks with a REaL smile on your face.
I know its not funn but it will make your mom not be so mad and possibly releave your punishment sooner.
As far as to succeed in math you need to d as follows.
*Get a BEFORE progress report showing your current assignements
**Ask if there is any extra credit you can do/or if you can make up any missing asighnments
***See if any of you :smart" friends will help you tudor in math
****Get an AFTER peogress report from your teacher and see the difference in your grade.
Hope I helped..
Best of Luuck

p.s~ the only way those steppes will work is if you try your hardest.
