My mom expects me to be perfect
My mom recently found a paper from my school that says i'm getting a 50 in tourism class, i took that class just to get a credit so i coul pass because it was either that or gym. So i chose tourism and didn't really bother trying in that class at all and focused on my more important classes for college like my math and chemistry. My mom thinks i should be getting 80s in every class. i recently got into a fight with her about this and i told her that i wasn't perfect that even if i try in all my classes it doesn't guarentee me a good grade, just like in english (Which i tried and still got a bad grade). The she started to nag me about school for about the millionth time so i just stop listening. What should i do? I love my mom and all and she can say hurtful things sometimes, but i just hate how she tries to control my life. She disapproved of the vet assistant course i got into in college and wouldn't let me take the course so i tried for massage therapy instead and didn't get in because of my mediocre english mark. She thinks thinks that if i take summer school for english that i can still get into massage therapy, which is like impossible. She thinks i'm wasting a year because i wasn't really ready to go to college and for not getting into college in the first place. As you can see, my relationship with my mom isn't the best, please help!

Your mom probably doesn't expect you to be perfect so much as she wants you to do well. She is anxious for you. When she sees you getting poor grades, and sees that limiting your prospects for the future, it causes her anxiety. She already knows how tough it can be to succeed in the world, and she's trying to motivate you to fight harder for your own future.
I think it's time to talk to the school counselor about what you want to do and to help map out what you will need to accomplish that. He can also help you talk to your mom and help the two of you take a more collaborative approach to your future.

Your mom is just motivating you to do better. She may sound harsh but she really cares about you and your future. parents push you to be the best that you can and I think that is an example of your mom. Don't take it too personal. Once you are successful, you will thank your mom for nagging at you. Just take things positively with her and you will do find. Think of her as your guidance towards success.
