don't think of your mom as an evil monster. she is seeing your education as a direct result to how you'll fare in life.... but let me tell you a few secrets:
1. no one ever looks at your permenant record. ever. I threatened to kill someone at your age and was put into suspension. I got out of high school with a 3.5.
2. your grades don't really count until 9th grade. keep trying hard, and aim for a 2.5 (that's the lowest academic result for scholarships) and once you get there, aim for a 3.0. (and so on)
3. I know it sucks for your mom to be upset with you, but in the end no one is in control of your education (and its results) but yourself. do it for yourself instead of her approval and you'll do better.
4. talk to her and explain that you are having troubles. perhaps ask her to help with things you struggle with, so she can see where you have problems, why, and how big they feel.
5. and for future reference, you'll always do less than your best during the first year of junior and high school; it's new and you're still trying to fit into it.
good luck.
