Ok - To start with I would like to thank anyone who has taken the time to try and answer this question - Your unbiased and detached opinion will hopefully help very much.
I am a 13 year old straight A student - I participate in many after school activities - I dont drink or smoke (unlike most of the people in my school) - Dont have a boyfriend - Do all my homework and get good reports - I also try and help out at home - I do have quite a bad temper but I am learning to control that.
My mum is 43 years old - Her mum died last year which she was obviously very traumatised about.
Getting to my question, we are constantly arguing about stilly things - She snaps at me for no reason and when I try to explain she manages to turn it round to make it my fault.
She tells me that I have an attitude problem which I probably do but I am a 13 year old girl and so is every other girl my age. I can at least admit that I do some things wrong whereas she will not admit that she is anything but perfect!
I hate arguing with her but she is so irritating sometimes so I spend more time in my room so that we dont argue which gets her angry - I dont know what to do
I seriously need some help because I have run away 3 times because of our fights.
She is a very good mum and does everthing that I need but our arguing is killing our relationship.
Any advice on why she is like this and what I can do about it would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
