easiest way would be to check out my blog princesslief.thoughts.com
but, i'll give you a run down,
my parents expect so much more out of me than they ever did. My mom freaked out when she found out I got a C in english and has decided that my punishment should be to take away one of my clubs, but my luck she'll take away german club, the club that means the most to me. It makes me so mad because:(numbers arent by importance, just as i think of them)
1) taking away a club won't help last semester's grades
2) I was depressed last semester, and I didn't care about school and she did not do anything to help, though she knew something was wrong
3) My GPA is still good, a 3.77
4) She acts like the things I do wrong are awful things, but they are far from it
5) I have never had a detention, saturday school, done drugs, snuck out, stayed out late. . . nothing of those sorts. . . .
there are so many things that bug me.
I thought that it might be fun to live up to what she acts like I am, but that goes against my nature and I don't want to ruin my future. It just kills me that she treats me like I'm a trouble kid and doesn't trust me, when I am far from being trouble. . .
another way to protest I thought I could just go to school, do my chores, do my homework in my room, eat dinner, then spend the rest of the night in my room and not talk to anyone unless I absolutely had to. I think if I did that for a couple weeks I could get my point across

PrincessLief, I've been there a million times. Even in college, it doesn't let up. But the thing is your mom's heart is in the right the place even if she's not expressing it in the right way. & maybe talk to a counselor at school or trusted adult about your depression. I also can relate to that. It really helps when you reach out since it can be tough to open up and let someone in. Seek help, it pays.

the depression is gone. I think I just needed rest and a break from school, which Christmas break had done very well. It wasn't a bad depression, i did not want to hurt myself or others, it just felt like I was in a fog of "I don't give a flying fart" and I could not get out of it. I just hope she does not take German Club, it means the most to me and that would be the worst thing she could take away from me. She can take everything else, phone, computer, tv privledges, give me extra chores, just don't take German club. My best friends are in german club and that's when I get to hang out with them and I am an officer and people count on me to be there

Let us know how it goes. Hopefully once the air clears, she will be able to see all sides of the situation and not overreact.
