Mom hates me

[thefrustrated]

My mom blew up over my report card especially the C in math. She screamed at me saying I wasn't trying hard enough knowing I studied hard and did my best and when I defended myself for the first time in years of her telling me how much of a disappointment I was she accused me of talking back and being disrespectful when all I did was stand up for myself because she believes kids shouldn't have a say in anything. She has lost me which is not really much of a loss to her since I'm not the kind of kid she can brag about to her friends who've got these perfect kids. I think that's the only reason she had kids. So thanks for reading don't really have anyone else to tell.

adults think anything that isn't "yes" is talking back, don't know why though. My parents have only gotten mad at me over my grades when I got an F in a class and that doesn't happen too often...they tell me to work harder when I have a D though

Is it possible to talk with your mom in a controlled circumstance?
In my personal experience, my parents never really listened to what I had to say if we were already in the midst of an altercation. They it as being defiant, talking back, or just me trying to keep the argument going when I really wanted was to stop it.
But when I approached them calmly, with a clear mind, knowing that they weren't heated, or going to be easily agitated or stressed out, we were able to come to an understanding of the situation without much fuss.

I've had good results with writing letters to my parents, because I used to be terrible at explaining myself (and staying calm) in conversations... try that?

^i have tried this on occasion. Works pretty well.

Thanks for the advice but my mom just says no. When she thinks she's right that's about it. It's kind of okay now because she is talking to me again. But it's left unresolved

I understand your situation. My mom is that kind of bitch. Just wants kids for bragging rights. There isnt much you can do but know that your mom is just being an idiot and you are already more mature then her, even though she is much older then she is.
