What Shall I Do About My Mum Controlling My Life?

Your mom has every reason to be upset with you. You may not see the consequences of your actions now because you are 17 years old but your mom has many more years of life experiences on her belt. Parents don't ever want to see their kids make the same mistakes they made when they were younger. They have been there and done that. I am happy to read that you at least know that she is trying to help you. But in the long run you are the only one who can decide what to do with your life. But the real question I have for you is: If you have trouble with stress in your life and right now it is related to school pressures what are you going to do when you eventually get a job and get stressed out there? Are you going to quit or run away again because you can't handle it?There will always be situations in life that we feel we don't necessarily want to do. But we do them and from that we gain experience and learn from it. Life, in general, is stressful. It's the way you handle it and deal with it that parts you from the rest. I really think you should go back to school and give it everything you have and more. You will gain confidence and will have a feeling of utter accomplishment that no one can ever take away. You can do it!
