problems with mom!!
my mom keeps on trying to put me down, and she doesnt really know me! my friends know me better than her, and trust me, im not saying this out of plain anger. i mean, she knows my favorite foods and all that, but i dont really think she knows much about me. she doesnt get involved in school, and thats not her fault, because she has my little brother and sister to babysit, and of course she treats me good, but anyways, i just hate the way she puts me down now. i tell her im taking the placement test tomorrow for getting into the advanced math class in my school and she tells me that im not going to pass it and now that im going on the computer so much, i wont be able to achieve anything anymore. sure, now that i got my laptop, i do go on it about a couple of hours a day, but i balance my time for other things such as hw. i tell her i want to be a lawyer, and im dead serious, i would do anything to reach my goal and its really important to me, but she tells me my talking skills arent good enough and stuff like dat. most people at achool and even my little brother thinks ill make a good lawyer, but she still says that. not like it brings me down or anything, but it really hurts to have your friends and little brother know you better than your mom, and she also tries to bring me down like dat. i dont know what to do, help me! thankx so much to the ppl who answer this question. i appreciate it!!!! omg thankz!

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
There are several things that I would like to address:
1. Your mom might not be aware that she is putting you down. Speak up and tell her that it hurts your feelings when she says stuff like that. On the other hand your mom might have some personal issues, such as she might feel jealous of you and feels the need to put you down all the time. If this is the case then you shouldn't take what she says personally. Ignore her and realize that people will put you down all during your life and you just need to ignore them and do things your own way. Nobody else knows you better than you.
2. You say that your mom doesn't know you very well... you could take time out of every week to do something special with your mom. Like shopping, going out to eat, exercising, or just plain playing cards. That way you guys both get to know each other better and build a strong, healthy relationship.
I hope I helped and good luck to you! :)
