| OK, so lately my mom has really been pushy. She's been telling me "work alot on your economics, you have to be finished by the end of the month", "are you doing alot of math? you need to start the geometry book next monday", "lets see, if you're going to finish geometry this summer..you need to do 2 lessons a week. you can work on them on the weekends i suppose, since you'll be at camp during the week", and it's really been wearing me down. But then yesterday she pulled up the schedule for the college i'll be attending next fall and was going ALLLL over it, and ANALYZING everything i'll have to do....all while i was on my fourth math lesson of the day! That really was the last straw, and i pretty much moped around the rest of the afternoon, until i had a total emotional breakdown at the Nat'l Day of Prayer event at our church last night. Enough about that, though. HOW do i ask my mom to back off a bit without sounding like i just don't want to do my stuff...i think that's the question to ask...or how do i just put up with her? Any comments and answers would be appreciated!! |

A girl should be so lost in God that a guy has to go in Him in order to find her |

| You know, how God tells us to respect our parents? I've always known this command, but it is harder, when moms are that way. I have been there. Ask your mom, if she can spare some time, sit down and tell her your point of view. Be honest, but polite and loving. She is after all your mom. That's how I deal with this kind of stuff. |

| I agree with Bea- she's your mom, and she wants you to be everything you can be! Pushing you like that probably isn't a healthy way to get there, though. Let her know! |

OK firstly, my mum was also sorta like that. but it is actually good, it means she wants you to exceed. Have you been to college? or will this be your first year?
If it is your first, you actually dont realise how much you're gonna HAVE to study etc because highschool is like a step 1, and college is like a big jump to step 5. Ive had quite a few friends who havent studied and have had to drop out or fail their first year...
So i think maybe your mum is preparing you for what you'll have to face at uni. and honestly, i wish my mum was still alive to breathe down my neck lol, cuz I've got too lazy, and I actually donno if I can study further until I've gotten used to studying 24/7 (my bro is at his 1st year of uni/college, and he's struggling alot with study, and he study's more than me...)
all i'm saying is, you kinda need to see it from her perspective too. and idk maybe if you're getting so stressed about it, maybe say to your mum "It's really hard to be pushed into the deep end, can we maybe work slowly up to full on study, just so I get used to it?? cuz at the moment, I'm kinda overloaded..."
IDK, hope that helped. |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

God Bless!
