i dont feel good. i may look relaxed on the outside but inside, im all messed up. my mom is the most messed up thing inside me. today, im doing my science report. since my teacher assigned the project, i've been on my laptop ever since. my mom talks to my dad right in front of me and tells him that once my project is done. shes gonna take away my laptop. the reason? i got a 96 on my language test. its hard for me. i am a straight A student. and i mostly get 100s but my mom gets made at me if i miss 1 point out of 100. she blames me for leaving my wrapper on the floor when i didnt even eat that today. i have 3 other brothers and sisters, and they blame me. two of my brothers stayed home the whole day i was at school. and I was the one who did it? and i didnt do it by the way. i skipped 4th grade. and im a grade level ahead. and even though i am a grade level ahead, i am at the top of my class. and i get blamed for everything. everything i do is wrong.

I think that you and your mother have made a wonderful decision and someday your nephew will thank you! Don't get discouraged too easily and ignore the remarks made by those who don't know what they are talking. The beauty of home education is that you work at his pace and that his teacher loves him and has more to gain than a paycheck. Don't spend 3 hours on something, put it down and come back to it later. He probably started to feel frustrated (and dumb) because he wasn't "getting it" and it was so simple for you. Be patient with him and give him lots of praise for a job well done (no matter how small it seems to you). Your praise and love are what he needs more than any schooling right now. Spend some time at first with some hands on educational stuff like going to the museum or walking in the woods. Make learning an adventure and relationship building time. Remember that since you are working one on one with him, you have plenty of time to make up for what some would call lost time. Good Luck and God Bless your homeschool! P~

lil bro, you need to talk to your parents and teachers about this.\nabuse is abuse, and it's their job to deal with it, and help you.\ndon't listen to those that say to reply with violence. I don't think they read your question very well.\none answerer was right on that some kids (grown-ups too) try to make others feel bad to avoid dealing with how they feel about themselves.  keep that in mind. I know it sounds easy for me to say it, but try to not let it bother you. try to feel sorry for them instead of yourself,  obviously they're the ones with the problem.\ntalk to your parents, talk to your teacher.\nJake,  I really hope this helps. don't get bummed out.\nyou can write me if you need to . take care. peace

I am out of school long time ago. Glad to know that you are doing good in school. Doesn't it feel good? You are working hard -- that's why. Keep it up.

Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

You need to talk to your mom. Tell her how disappointed you are. She is setting a very bad example for you.

It sounds like you are a very depressed young lady. Maybe instead of talking to your mom just about the boy that you like you could tell her about how sad you have been feeling and that you feel like crying alot. You are at an age where your body and hormones are changing an awful lot and it can be too much to cope with at times. I remember my teenage years all too well!! \nIs there a counselor at your school that you could talk to? Or a teacher? I think you need to talk to someone about your feelings!

Do your 1/2 of the assignment, and before class starts on Monday, go to your teacher and tell her what is happening. Or better yet, if you have your teacher's email, email him/her the situation right now. The teacher probably has other contact info with your homework partner. Make sure you email your teacher before Sunday night though, or else your teacher will have the excuse of 'you waiting till the last minute to tell them.' to not deal with the issue. Explain to them [either in email or before class] that you just can't get your partner to do anything, and that you have worked very hard, and are prepared. Make sure that you seem like the good, responsible student. And ask all nicely how you would really like to be graded seprately, for the obvious reason. Most teachers i've had are really cool about this.\n And don't forget to make your partner look like a total idiot, that they are, in front of class, when you do present. Make sure that it's very very obvious that you did the homework, and they didn't. \nMake them seem very very inferior. \nI totally know how you feel, I'm a freshman in High school, and i've had plenty of upperclassmen already do that to me, just for the @#*! fact that i'm freshman and i care about my grade.\nHey, look on the bright side. Now you can gather your homies and jump someone. \nhahahahahhahahhahhahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes! YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!\nJust make sure that you don't get caught. And that the person, has no evidence whatsoever! No evidence. None!!!!\nhahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!!! \njust don't get carried away. Remember, you're the GOOD student. ;-)

You could be depressed.  It's nothing to be embarrassed about.  If you cry alot, and don't get joy from things you liked before, it could be.  Why do you think she is wrong?  \n\nLife is too short to feel so sad.  It might help you to be open minded about depression.  You have a computer - get more information, help yourself as much as you can.\n\nYour school counselor is probably concerned about you.  You can talk to your parents if you feel comfortable with that.  If you don't go do a teacher, friends mom, or other adult you can trust.  \n\nI have been depressed in my life, and it is so easily treated.  I should never have suffered as long as I did.  There's counselling, and or medications that can help tremendously.  Please don't give up.  \n\nI always remember life is too short, and I don't want to feel so sad.  Please help yourself so you can be a happy and content person.\n\nGod Bless

You are at the hardest age to be of all. \n\nSchool work at this age can be almost unbearable.\nI don't know why but they put this stress on you at school at your age, right when your body is going through major changes and you are really starting to notice girls.\n\nHaving your parents angry a lot is hard too but at least they aren't mad at you. You are so nice to not want to give your parents any more stress.\nYou need to find a way to handle all the stress you feel and the best way is releive it, believe it or not, is exersize. When I am upset or mad I go to the gym and ride the stationary bike or walk fast on the treadmill to get the tension out of my body. Take a walk outside or play basketball or whatever type of physical activity you like.\nExersize helps your mind and body release the stress so it does not stay inside you and eat you up.\nAlso, get a notebook, one of those spiral ones, and use it to keep a journal every day of what happened that day and how you feel about it.\nThis is a tried and true method of getting the bad feelings out and onto paper. When I am feeling upset about everthing around me I can turn to my journal and write and write about it all and tell it I feel like punching someone or wish I could go away or whatever I am feeling and after I write it all down I feel a lot better.\nIt is all about releiving stress and handling it.\nAnd exersize and keeping a journal work beautifully for most people.

Oh my God. I am just pissed off reading this! Tell your administrator (the one in charge of discipline). Then tell your administrator that your school needs the Challenge Day program in a big way. Check out www.challengeday.org.\n Good luck. I am sorry this is happening. Walk tall and try not to let it damage your self-esteem. You don't deserve this crap. Get your parents to go in and demand a solution if nothing happens.

Oh my gosh, one or two absences in a month doesn't affect anything at all. Yes you miss the discussions for the day but it doesn't matter because it's only just a couple of days, and you said you have high grades. The way I see it, you're just pressured because of your mom. Don't worry because as long as you have good grades and you know when to absent or not (because you seem very smart and responsible... just pressured) just keep on doing what you think is right and better; and besides, you can always catch up. It's okay to be a good daughter but you should also take care of your health.

hey man, i know what it can be like to have a mom and dad that aren't around for you to set examples for you in life. When i think about when i used to live with my mom and dad the only thing i think of is "what doesent kill you, makes you stronger" but ofcource everyone situation is different. my advice would be to talk to one of your close family members if you have one, if not, a school counselor and go from there. good luck in life man and keep kicking ass in school... its the key to success!

You're going to have to tell your parents; tell them how badly you feel. Ask for their help.  Maybe they can help you figure out what the problem is.  Maybe a tutor would help.  Maybe with your parents assistance you could set up workable plan- like studying a certain number of hours per day before watching tv,hanging with friends and so on.\n\nI am sorry to hear that you feel like killing yourself.  Please don't.  Talk to your parents- maybe also the school counselor or other trusted adult.  Good luck.I hope things improve. Let us know.

If my kid came home with a report card like that, I'd hang it on the fridge. You're to young to be so stressed. Just get it over with and show her. Middle school is tough, hang in there sweetie.

You might consider talking with her and sharing your concerns. If you aren't satisfied with the way it went, you could ask for some help by getting someone to mediate. \n\nIf all else fails, you might want to take on the approach that its her duty as a teacher to teach and yours as a student to learn. We can't always get along with everyone, even as adults. And sometimes all we can do is try to get through uncomfortable situations that aren't in our control to change.\n\nI do commend you on taking responsibility for your own actions. Kudos for you :)
