How do I stop arguing with my mom and give her the respect she deserves?

So me and my mom argue about many things, but primarily we argue about school and stuff like that, she pushes me really hard to do good in academics and she wants me to be successful and I definitely understand that and I want to be successful as well. I am currently a senior in high school and she is actually a teacher at my high school so she knows what she’s talking about most of the time. But I keep having a tendency to not always have enthusiasm or drive to push myself harder in academics and I tend to I slack off. We argue about that and she always says stuff like “you don’t care!” Or “you’re always on your phone and not doing your work!” And honestly she is right about me being on my phone, I’m always on that thing. I always have an attitude when it comes to doing work and stuff like that and I allow myself to get angry with her and end up being disrespectful and mean toward her and I feel like such a piece of crap for doing such a thing...I don’t know what to do, I try to be patient with myself and try to drive myself but I keep slacking and allowing my attitude and laziness to get the best of me...I need help and most importantly I need y’alls good help and strategies to help push myself harder, to respect my mom and give her the love she deserves, and to help become a better person in every aspect. Thank you and have a nice day...

    maybe you can start by apologizing and change your ways

    Your Mom is looking out for your best interest, listen to her, when you are older you will thank her for it. many kids wish they had a parent who cares about them.
