Does it sound like my mom doesn't care about me?
I hate writing this, I feel like it will make me sound whiny and dramatic. But I'll say it anyway. I'm having a really hard time right now, I'm feeling like I can't do anything right, and I never finish the things I've started. That's part of why I'm getting some low grades, and my mom yelled at me because of it. I rarely speak nowadays, but my mom never asks how I am or if I'm ok or anything. I feel like if I tell her, she'll brush it off and I'll feel worse. Another thing about the low grades, the really low grade is in math, and I don't want to tell my mom I haven't been finishing all my math assignments. It's not that I'm not doing them on purpose, I can't help it. The school I go to is really heavy on homework, and I always try to do my math, but I've got so much other stuff, and I can never focus on doing it. Anyway, the main point is, my mom never really talks to me(besides small talk), and I even find myself trying to show what a bad mood I'm in (on the outside) just so she'll maybe get the hint. She never does. Is she just oblivious? Or does she not care? Thanks.

It sounds like you need someone to talk to to give you advice. This seems like a complex problem that may go back as far back as your childhood. I don't know, but it can't be explained easily on the internet. Anyway, because of this, I recommend talking to someone who knows you well, or someone reliable like a counselor. Does your dad do anything? Is there a relation problem between you and him as well? If not, then I think that's the first person you should go to about this.
To directly answer your question, if your mom yells at you about your grades, then it's probably because she truly does care about you and just doesn't know how to express it correctly. Think about it: what other reason would she have to shout at you about grades specifically?

Sigh.....look, kid, anyone unfortunately can have kids. There is no training, no testing for it, people just have sex and get pregnant. And just because someone has a baby, doesn't mean they want the baby, care about it, want it. That has nothing to do with the baby, but has to do with the parent. Unfortunately, many people get screwed up by their parents as kids.
Find other people to get love, caring, friendship from. She's not able or willing to give it.

I had a really rough childhood as well. If not for this site I don't think I could have survived my teen years. I hope they can help you as they helped me.

i have kind of a similar problem but its worse, i open up to my momand she tells me she docent want to hang out with me, she told me that i dont have friends because i am weird, i feel awful after talking to her and i pretend to be depressed around her but she docent care either. have you tired talking to your dad? maybe say everything ng you want to say to your mom to your dad, its ok if you cant be close to one parent at least you can avoid interacting with her. another thing that you can do is see your schools guidance counselor, i take it your in school i guess if you were in college your mom wouldnt be around. even if the guidance counselor cant help you at least they might be able to find a therapist for you. although it will probably be with the help of your parents.
