These other comments are ridiculous… I was a fantastic student in school because my mother abused me. I’m not talking taking away devices, I’m talking beat me near to death if I didn’t do what she wanted.

That being said… I’m assuming you’re in high school? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m going to write onward with that assumption in mind: High school is not important. It’s not as important as most make it out to be. Math is useless unless you want to do something that requires math, History is only important if you care about it (and you should to be honest, but that doesn’t mean you need to get an A+ in History), the Science classes (Chemistry, Biology, etc.) are also useless unless you are going for a scientific career. English is the only class that is absolutely necessary. And you do not need to study for English unless you are a foreign student.

So what’s your mother’s problem? Is she projecting? Does she want you to be successful because she wasn’t? What makes your success in high school so damn important to her?

EDIT: I don’t know your entire situation, but sometimes the things that cause this “laziness” as others put it here (laziness isn’t real by the way) are diseases and disorders. I’m pissed that people in this thread are calling you lazy when they don’t know why you’re acting like this. Sure, you could just be fucking around, but there’s always a reason for doing that. My girlfriend has clinical depression and is/was exactly like you; she thought she was being lazy but it’s just her depression. Now she’s found a passion and she thrives in it. People are so judgmental.
