Me and my mum always argue. I can't spend 10 minutes with her and we fight.Im 14, 15 in October, do well at school (im in the top 10 students and duxed technology) and complete numerous afterschool activitys. She yells at me about stupid little things and says stuff that's not true and hurtful. For example on day she said my bedroom was a brothel (I don't have a boyfriend), I was a tart because I wore eyeliner,I could fail school and could live in a gutter for all she cared. I have very long hair and told her I wanted a few inches of it. She took it coldly then the next day she yelled at me about and said I was a sheep, to stop trying to fit in and I could shave it off for all she cared. The problem is if I tell her how I feel shell just get angry againMy dad lives an entire day way. I also just got back from 3 weeks at his house.I know its not easy for her because my dad doesn't live with us, she just started a stressful 40 hr per week job and she does have a few health problems but she can't take it on me all the time. She making my home life miserable and don't want to live here anymore. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe therapy? I know some people are really against it (isk why), but it really helped me. And its helped some of my friends and their relationships with their parents. You can start seeing a therapist, tell them everything going on, and then they can help you find ways to approach your mum about it. They can even invite her in for sessions and help mediate between you two. When she starts being unreasonable the therapist can step in and help make her listen.

I don't think she'd do it. I reckon she'd probably say I was being silly or something. I have looked at kids help line. Thanks for the fast reply.
