"It's Ok."
My mom and dad are in a lot of debt right now. It's really hard on them I can tell so I try to not complain over stupid stuff anymore. Well my mom is taking it the hardest I think. I mean school's comming around and we see those adds for back to school clothes and stuff and I can tell she feels bad because we won't be able to do that this year. There are a lot of other things we can't swing anymore and I really want to tell her it's ok, and that I don't need any new things. But it seems like when I tell her that she just gets upset. Maybe I should just leave them alone? It's just nerve wracking to wake up and see my parents stressing over bills and things, and I can't do anything or say anything. What do I do?
Thanks...

Leave them alone. Your mom probably gets upset because she knows it's a problem between her and your dad, and has nothing to do with you.
However, say your mom takes you school shopping. That is when you'd say something like, "Oh, I don't really need that sweater/shirt/etc."

You can try to tell your mom is ok a million times. But it'll still feel like a knife to the heart to her. It's probably killing her to see her own kid becoming used to all this. No parent ever wants not be able to provide for their kids.
My advice is to carry on normal life as much as you can. Gently remind her of the positive things like how you still have each other or how you won't end up spoiled or something.
Then one day, when you have a job, you could slip her some money. Or save up and be able to buy things or take her out to a nice dinner. Things will work out.
cheers and best of luck,
