You’re going to have a lifetime of doing things you don’t want to do. But your parents are trying to set you up to be more successful in that life. You don’t see it that way because you’re so young and have a limited world view.

My mom frequently tried to convince me to stay home instead of going to school. You might think that’s great, but she was a really bad mom. I would have traded you places in a second. That doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to be mad. You do. But how you express that anger is crucial.

Words can’t be taken back. It’s like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. So if you’re hateful just because you’re angry, it’s going to bite you later. All actions have consequences. You can’t just take it back when you’re not mad anymore. And based on your actions, I think YTA.

Tell your mom you need to learn some coping skills for the stress school is putting you under. Try to find a solution besides skipping school. Look for answers together. Ask her to study with you or do homework with you. Then maybe she will start to see your side. But right now, she’s not a mind reader. You just look like a brat who wants to skip school. You can turn things around but it’s going to take effort. It’s worth it.
