Life Problems //Advice, Help PLEASE?
Hi everyone ! Firs thank you for giving a try to help me :)
Okay so I'm 17 years old. When I was 9 months my mom and dad get divorce. I start living my life with my dad, when I was 2 my mom got married, and when i was 4 my dad got married. I start seeing my mom when i start going to first grade, I never really cared about her, or maybe i just thought i didn't. when I turned 16 i moved to live with my mom in US so i moved from Europe. I didn't wan't to but i really have to because my dad is poor he doesn't have a lot of money and i got 2 step sisters and i have to take care of them i really love them. When i moved I didn't spoke English at all, for one year i learned a lot, everyone at school is proud of me, they really love. I start working and costumers are in love with me, but i never can make my mom happy. I'am really depressed :( Okay so I got 1 step brother ans 1 step sister they are younger than me, and my mom she is really nice with them so are with my step dad she always smiles with them and stuff. OMG i swear I'm really upset and i drop all my classes at school I use to have all A and right now they are B, C and my English teacher asked me what is wrong with me and i just start crying that was so bad cuz i never cry in front of people. She was trying to make me feel better and stuff, i told her she said talk to your mom, and i did today but my mom things that she is all right and i said to her if you are not happy with me i can go back, and she said if you want to i will tell your step dad to buy you a ticket and i said if i wanna go i can buy it by myself. I wanna kill myself but when i thing about my sisters and grandma i can't , but i really love my mom and i need that love back, cuz i missed her soo much. I don't believe in my self anymore, not for college i feel so dumb, If i go back there is no a good future for me, for my sisters If this is over my life is over too. Thank you !

Sometimes, it is much easier to write something than it is to say it. You have much more time to think about what you are writing, and you can rewrite the parts that don't come across the way you want them to.
Write a nice letter to your mother. Expand on what you've written here, don't be afraid to pour your heart out to her.
Your mother may be trying to let you be as independent as possible because she thinks that's what you want ("i said if i wanna go i can buy it by myself"), and she's not hearing the other part ("i really love my mom and i need that love back, cuz i missed her soo much") from you.
Sometimes, we give our moms a bit too much credit. Moms are not mind readers, I know it may seem that they are.
Please write your mom. You owe it to her to let her know how you feel - and you owe it to yourself.
