motivation
i skip school, a lot. this week i skipped monday, went in late tuesday, went wedensday, thursday i left after lunch, and today (friday) i didnt go at all.. this is a normal week to me. i dont think this whole semester i havent skipped ATLEAST a half a day a week. my mom gets really mad at me and she yells at me and threatens to take away my phone and car, she already took away my computer, but honestly the yelling just makes me not want to go more. i just dont have any motivation to go.. im 17 years old and i know its important, so dont tell me how its important to finish highschool. i know it is! and i just pretty much feel like all i need to do is pass and ill be okay because i already am going to a community college after highschool for 2 years and i know my grades dont matter for there. i just really want to do better though! i tell myself every week that ill do better next week. i wont skip next week. but then i just wakeup and im super tired and i just donnnnt wanta go to the stupid place. any helpppp plzz?!

What makes you think that your grades in high school don't matter to community college? They matter a lot as it tells the program head who's a good student or not and can cost you an acceptance.
The transcript comes first and then they look at your talent and whether you fit. You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Those interviewing you for college can also go and talk with anyone at your school or references to get the goods on your academic history.
You need to shape up and WAKE UP to the fact that you'll be 18 and an adult soon. You're now in charge of your own life. You need an education to get a job or advance in life.
Don't think for one second that you'll get into any college with what you are doing now. Skipping constantly will come back to bite you in the ass. Just passing with a 50 isn't good enough.
What you need to do is start viewing your education as just as important as your next breath. Then you'll set your alarm daily and actually GO. Have a fried pick you up and make sure you go to all your classes. Hire yourself a tutor and devote 1-2 hours a night on home work, do all the assignments.
Even when you don't want to be there remind yourself that you'll never get a job at a food court if you don't get a diploma. Always remind yourself what you're about to lose or f--k up in your life when tempted to ditch school.
I also think you need a professional adolescent therapist or even a shrink to help you motivate yourself and get your life on track. I also think your mom should cut you off of more and be difficult until you learn to care.
That's the bottom line. You say you care and want to change but do you really? Nothing's going to happen or change unless you want it and keep pushing until you get it. How bad do you want it rather than going to the mall or hanging out with people who aren't headed anywhere. What's you goal? Where do you want to be?
