Just keep your eye on the prize.. APRIL and finishing school....
Moms can be overbearing, but if you went to work full time, you would just be trading one pressure for another...
Hang in there

I agree.
BO - that shit is pretty common in Canada.
Small - tell your Mom to fuck off. she's just trying to visit her own inadequacies on you, and relive her 20s through you.
Parents need to hear that shit every now and themn.

taps i said everything i could think of with her... we didn't argue. in fact both of us ended up crying.
i told her how her constant calling made me feel, etc, and that i knew she did that because she cared, but that it ended up being an added stressor because i knew she'd be always talking about what i had due etc.
she just doesn't see it my way basically and won't really try unfortunately.
but we're still talking so i guess that's a good thing.

I completely agree
I am sorry girl I know you have been through a lot and you are on medication for depression so I am not trying to be mean, but you cannot have the best of both worlds. If you still live as a 16 year old that is how you will be treated and should be treated. You cannot tell your mom to stop nagging you about when bills are due when they take care of your major bills for you like, rent, car, prescriptions. You live under the roof that they pay for not you. If you do not like it move out on your own and support yourself. If you cannot do that then you must accept your situation. Now once again I am not saying this to be mean I am just stating the facts of life so to speak
A good modo for you to start following is:
I will find the strength to change the things in my life that can be changed for the better and the discipline to accept the things I cannot change for what they are.

i live away at school in another city abbaddon. i don't live with them.
sorry girl the way it read was as if you lived at home. However it still does apply if they are helping to support you, your gonna have to accept the fact that they are gonna be the way they want. They have a right to. Even if they didnt they have a right to they are your parents. There are many people who would love to have their parents be interested in their lives the way your mother is interested in yours. Try to remember that. Once again I am not trying to be mean to you. I am just telling you how life really is.
Someone gave me some good advice, and that is....
"You need to have and live your life".
Smalls, your not going to please your family with every decision you make, just remember it is your life.
20 years from now, you don't want to look back and wonder if you had done what you wanted, instead of what your family wanted, would you be happier. That will just cause greater animosity towards your mom.
Like 'starfish" said, "keep your eye on the prize".
You will do good, and your parents will come around.
Just remember to have some pride and confidence in yourself.
