I swear, this will be the final time I vent!

Unitarian Universalist? Probably not, but I'll keep it in mind.

Okay, thanks for your advice!

I can honestly say that being a teenager is the HARDEST part of your life. I'm in my 40's now. I sure wish someone had told me that when I was a teen. I thought something was wrong with me since I was having such a hard time with the cruelty I experienced at school.

It is SOOOO much better later on. Hang on hang on hang on.....do whatever you must to keep happy and peaceful. Have your own little space and time to yourself where you just dream about what you want your life to be like.

Sorry you have all these worries going on. Being a teenager is very hard and it seems even harder these days than when I was a teen. I have a suggestion for you as you seem to be a very intelligent person. Write everything you want to say to your mother in a letter. Write it and edit it and rewrite it until you believe it is worded properly for you both to communicate about it afterwards. You could even leave the letter for her to find at a time when you know you wont be there. Sometimes it is easier to communicate this way. This way she will read the entire letter and know what you are trying to say to her with out your point being interrupted.

Good luck dear. I hope it works out.

We ALL have learning disabilities... I have high-fuctioning DAS- That is, Denial And Stubborness.

I have to agree what was already said about counseling, though.
But here, take two hug smileys and call me in the morning.

PK its going to be alright!! You are a bright, ambitious young woman. Take your time learning who you are, you are loved even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment or when you try and talk to your mom. Mom's and daughters seem to be the hardest relationships; will be thinking of you!

Intelligence matters. But heart counts more in the long run. Besides, as you age, you lose synapses and forget things. Good new is you also learn to identify patterns so as to gain wisdom and if you need to know something, you will be able to find the information quicker. Emotional fortitude is the hardest thing to gain. So you're good, being loved and sharing that is really what it's all about.

How intelligent you are certainly matters, but I don't believe it is the measure of the value of a human being. All people have something to contribute to the world, to friends, to family, and to themselves. I have known a lot of people, young and old, with not only learning disabilities, but varying degrees of down's syndrome. These people could not be called intelligent in the conventional sense, but certainly spread a lot of joy around to those close to them. Their worth was, I believe, very great. A pure and loving spirit counts very much as well. Keep in mind, Albert Einstein's father thought he would never amount to anything and couldn't learn a thing! Your mother loves you, and I'm sure remembers her teen years, which are really not very kind to anyone. Physiologically, your brain is undergoing rapid and huge changes and growth spurts. Hang in there, and vent all you need to!
