I'm really sorry you're having a bad day, but yelling at your mom the way you did doesn't help matters much. Believe me, yelling and namecalling doesn't solve anything...it just makes them worse. I don't have any children and have never called my mother names or yelled at her, but I have seen my sister do it. It's terrible to witness, and even worse on the people involved. I believe you are disrespecting your mother a lot and if you loved her the way you say you do, you would apologize to her and try to TALK to her about how you're feeling, not yelling and calling her every name in the book.

I'm just trying to give you helpful advice on how to have a better relationship with your mother. Trust me, talking things out will get things cleared much more easily than if you are yelling and calling names. If you're yelling and calling names people don't hear what you are saying...they just hear the yelling and namecalling...nothing more. So talking will help them to hear you better.

I know being young is a very hard place to be, but you have to change how you are doing things in order to get your needs and wants met. People are more willing to give you what you want when you ask nicely or tell them calmly. If you can't be calm, then take a time out for yourself by deep breathing, counting to 10, or something like that. I know you can do this. It is hard, but I have faith in you and your abilities.
