I failed my mom!!

First of all Please don't think you failed your mom.. Your mom is your mom and she loves you unconditionally! She may not like your choices right now and wants more for you. so I would suggest trying harder to not talk back and do the right thing. You know staying out late is not a good choice. Concentrate more on getting better grades, meeting curfew, and listen to where your mom is coming from. I know that when your young your parents seem stupid and unfair But I think with a little effort on your part you can slowly build back the trust you lost. The key to a good relationship is good communication so don't be afraid to tell your mom how YOU feel. I hope this helps. ps how old are u?

I know it is hard to be 17 and live at home with your mother. You don't agree with many things she says and feel that you must tell her. I have disappointed my mother many times, I also had bad boyfriends and my studies were not good. To gain her trust, you must try harder to show more respect for her. She feels hurt that you talk back to her and she feels that you are not trying hard enough in school because your boyfriend distracts you from your studies. She is only worried for you. Think of it this way. You are only cheating yourself by making bad grades. They are no ones grades but yours. So if you want to go to university, how will you be able to with bad grades? Is studying now so bad? Your future is bright. Study harder, show her that you can do this to make yourself proud and her proud too. When she scolds you, don't immediately say anything. Think about it, then go back to her after you are calm and have had time to think about what she has said. I used to talk back to my mother, but now I do this and it is much better. She has more respect for me now because I don't say ugly things to her and I think about what she says. Most times she is right. I know it is hard that your mother doesn't want you to have a boyfriend, but right now, she thinks that with your grades being so low and you talking back and being disrespectful to her, that this boy is making you do these things. So, think about your relationship with your boyfriend, if he is making bad influence on you, he may not be the right boy for you. If he is a good person, you must try harder to be more respectful and study harder so she can see it is not him that is the problem. I hope this helps you. Take care and good luck!
