well you have to give your self as it is a pat on the back for what you do in order for your mom to get ahead she needs to get involved in work a better job theses things can't happen over night pray to the lord and he'll answer you could ask her not to be so hard on you expecting you to take the raines all on yourself you might start blaming her and you don't want to do that its not being fair to you can you go online to one of the online colleges to see what they can do for you
Wow, that sounds tough. Your mom is doing you good,but tell her that your under to much pressure. Always help her but tell her what you want to do. If you want to study cosmetology, go for it. But if you have trouble with grades, I suggest finding a trusted person or the teacher them self to help you understand it better. You may want to go politician, point out the advantages of what you want to do, Iike how cosmetology can earn you a fair amount of money.
