Fast64,

Let me give you a mother's perspective--this is only me speaking for myself--we mothers want only the best for our children, we think they are the brightest, the most beautiful, wonderful beings. It is frustrating to see our children just squeaking by and not exercising their full potential.

Vette had some great advice and from what you said it seems as though you have approached her with it. Just remember it is all in the approach also. If you come across as a hot tempered teenager then she may not take you seriously. As for the comments she made back to you I don't understand that. If one of my children came to me and told me that he/she wanted to go to a counselor in order to communicate with me I would jump at the chance. I know the teen years are rough but don't worry you will be okay-you seem to head a good head on your shoulders, and a month is only 30 days. It may seem like a lifetime right now but trust me later on you will wish it still seems that way.

I think that vette was right on target when he suggested talking to the school counselor, they may even be able to bring someone in during school hours to talk with you,.

Good Luck and I hope you stick around-you seem like a great person
