Wacked Out Mom
Ok we came to america..yea its all legal we're from France and my mother has been stressed trying to get a job and a degree over here since its different. anyway recently ive been getting bad grades which is a flip out because my mom knows me as an A student so i tell her about the grades and im totally sweet and everything and i even cry for her...lol anyway yea and i said sorry over and over and she still flips out majorly. she expects me to be a robot for the rest of high school and not have any fun shes taken away my web accounts like bebo etc and shes saying i wont be able to go out and stuff to parties and to the movies with friends. does she really expect me to live through that. I can strap down and get the grades up and have fun you know? but she keeps telling me how when she was my age she had no fun and she was this and she was that and she shouts like a fucking african haha and I can't stand her I actually want to go up to her and slap her in the face and say you don't make sense mom you're being rash and stupid. but that wont solve it. I may sound like a little brat in this question but im seriously not Im not rich atall and i hardly ever get what I want bt on this? no fun no actuall LIFE. someone please help me on how to battle this out with her and help her see that this is not the right thing to do to help me

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
This was how she was raised so naturally it's how she will respond to you about your education. What you need to do is get a tutor for the courses you aren't good in and show her you are studying.
Have Internet access or Facebook pages is fine as long as you can demonstrate you are working to bring your grades up. You need to talk with your teachers and guidance counselors and level with them.
Tell them how mom was raised and that the pressure she places on you is causing you to worry and get stressed. Let them know that she's taken away your freedom and ability to have fun and socialize because the grades aren't all A's.
They'll set her straight. To top things off find a relative, friend's mom etc etc. to apply pressure because she'll listen to them. Do not battle or argue over anything. Go through this with maturity and what I said to do above and it will be a win/win situation.

Well, i hope you like America anyway.
I think that you should prove yourself to your mom first. Raise your grades up a little, and show her that you're improving. THEN, ask to do fun things. Point out the facts that you are improving, and deserve a break now and then.
