Homework problems: all my teachers dont trust me and my mom hates me!
I am 14 years old and i have trouble in school. I am in 8th grade and i get tons of homework. My mom is really strict and if i have one piece of missing homework she grounds me for three months and takes away everything. So, Today.. I had a packet (a late one) that i couldn't finish on time. We had a weather Journal (you record weather for a long time) I was trying to do this, my packet, and my homework. My mom told me she wouldn't help me with my work so i told he i didn't have homework (while trying to finish it) She emailed the teachers and found i had late work and yelled at me. She emailed my teach back and said
"I don't know what is wrong with her! I guess i have to tell her other teachers that she's lazy."
So now all my teachers dont trust me and my mom hates me! She has teachers email her about work and i dont feel so good. I even cut myself twice. Cause i was afraid of the teachers. I am so scared i don't know what to do! Please Help!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I don't think you are lazy as you are trying hard. Your problem is a lack of organization and not dividing work up into what needs to be done immediately and what can take time. You have to stick to due dates. If you can stay on top of homework and do it to the best of your ability on time than nobody will have issue.
Your mother cares but expects more from you when it comes to your homework and doesn't want you lying to her. Her remark about you being lazy was wrong and stems from frustration and wanting you to excel.
Cutting yourself won't solve anything. I honestly don't think the cutting stems from this. It's a bigger problem and needs to be addressed by a medical professional usually a psychiatrist. If you're self-mutilating you need professional help and that's not being mean. It's the blunt reality of the situation.
As for school get yourself a note-book and write down the dates homework is due and go to each teacher daily and have them initial it before you leave so they know and you know what it is you're supposed to turn in. That should keep you on top of things.
Next if you don't understand something ask for help before you leave for home or get someone to tutor you. If your problem is in needing to do something at a really slow pace and that's why you're behind get tested for learning issues as special help would make you excel better and perhaps understand what you find hard and boost grades.
