What does you mother not help with? Why does she say you can have or do something and then takes it away? You must be doing something wrong if she has to punish you like that... sounds like she's trying to be equal with her money to you and your brother, its very hard being a single parent, especially with the recession.

Have you talked to a school counselor about this? Teacher? Doctor? A friends parent? You are not going to get the help you need online other than advice on what to do.

I'm sorry she did that to you. It was pretty crappy of her. But keep your chin up and talk to someone about this. They can help.

Is there a way you can borrow a dres from a friend? Some schools have aide set up for students who don't have the money for important things (like prom, which IS important) or you can shake it up, and make it fun to go to prom in something else instead of a dress. A girl at my school made an outfit out of duct tape! It was the hit of the dance!

I have the same.problem I feel you but the best thing to do is tell her if she doesn't listen don't pay attention to her for a week or so then when she asks why tell her the problem

Trust me your mom I stressed to whether mentally,physically or emotionally one thing you must do is admit you are at fault you know you bug her,nag,maybe not do your chores,talk back or have lie,been failing in school even if you are doing none of things mom's just don't like to shut up.Try to consult with her when she's calm 7 in her happy place & say mom sometimes I wish you would just shut up (make sure your mom is in the joking mood) you nag me,point out what I do wrong & I'm just not happy anymore you never shutup can you please just cut me some slack. (& if you don't deserve it earn it & if you do exclaim you do your work,your chores,get good grades, everything you ask can you just shhhh for once in a while.Although if this doesn't work try to get away from the nest & hang out with friends,stay at your grandmothers,even spend time at the library it will minimize your time of hearing your mom.

Excuse me, would you mind speaking clear English? I don't understand what you are saying. And what exactly was wrong with my advice of telling her to go to the prom in something other than an expensive dress?

Your grammar was the most difficult thing to decipher but I think I got the gist of it. I'm 19, I'm still sort of with you in that she wants to know you, she says things and forgets and things come up and life happens.

Well... there's no way you're going to get mom to understand you and ever shut up. You're right at the cusp of adulthood and you want to be recognized a moral-logical-human-being. But you're also still her baby, you are dependent on her, and you do deserve to be understood. But you're also a teenager. It's a famous concept that teenagers are a separate species from humans, our brains are developing at hyperspeed where we experience life at the extremes. If someone in your school dies that you don't really know they suddenly become a martyr who everyone now knows even if before that person was a nobody.

What I'm trying to say is that... she won't understand, she will try and so will you. But things get lost in translation, you who wants so desperately to be identified and she who wants a role in your life.

Wait it out, you won't understand each other, it's impossible between teenager to adult, we're changing too fast. I look back at my 16 year old self and think "god...what an idiot" but I'm sure I'll think that of myself now 20 years from now. Things will pass, and one day you will be understood, if not by her then by someone else. Just bear with it, do enough to make yourselves happy, but don't intend on being understood.
