.-.
I don't know if I want to

It involves my cousins health and my family being mad at my mom for having my uncles, ex wife tell him about it instead of my mom doing it. And that she told my mom fist instead of anybody else

Sounds like a private family matter, you don't have to give the specifics if you don't want to.

Only going as far as to say it is possibly life threatening for my cousin

I don't really get the whole dynamic or why it would matter if the ex wife (is she your cousins biological mom?) told him about it rather than your mom or something or other, but okay.

I guess I'll post my minor sads... Or a rant. Whatever.

I got Luigi's mansion today, but my mom won't let me play it because it's Tuesday, and playing video games on a Tuesday is not what perfect children do. And I have to be perfect all the time.
*sigh* If I do, she starts cutting power cords and things, so yeah. Only for me though. All my siblings, they do whatever they want, anytime.

I'm just tired of her trying to force me to be perfect. I'm redoing grade twelve math because I only got 80% in the course. She phoned the school, took me out of calculus, and put me back in math 30 to do it again. And this is an IB course, so it's the advanced class. I would say an 80% is pretty good, not low enough to redo the course and lose my computer for a month.
Besides, she was the one who made me stressed enough to cry for two weeks before the diploma so I only got 70%. I really am not looking forward to this year's diplomas...
And she only got a 55% in math when she was in school!

It's just so annoying how she refuses to believe she could be doing anything wrong, and how crushing people's spirits is not actually the way to make them successful.
And any of my siblings, she couldn't care less what they do. But me, straight A marks aren't good enough.

Tell your mom she's doing wrong :/
Also go to your guidance counselor and talk about that issue there.
That kind of parenting is...not good, holistically.

I have told her, she deleted my emails and walks away when I talk.

And um, what guidance counselor??? What even is a guidance counselor? I've heard of them, but...

Let's just say there is A LOT of crap going on prior to this

Talking to a social worker might be on the extreme side, but you definetly need to talk to someone, a school counselor maybe?

I kept falling asleep in class. Apparently I yell in my sleep.

Failed a test. While most of it was my fault, more than a few marks were lost for purely pedantic reasons. I was only two marks away from a pass.

I was supposed to play Pathfinder with some friends today. I was looking forward to playing, too. I was trying to find a free outlet to plug my laptop into when I accidentally knocked over a lamp. The bulb broke, and my friend's dad basically exploded. My friend took the fall for me, but his dad started screaming at my friend and began trashing the house, throwing just about everything he could get his hands on.

So we all went outside to go look for one of our friends who did not arrive yet. After about ten-to-fifteen minutes of walking in the rain to the restaurant he usually hangs out at before games, we started calling him, since he wasn't there. When we finally got a hold of him, we found out that he couldn't come play, since he had to babysit. He should have called us first, but whatever. The game was off anyways, and we wouldn't have been able to play without him even if nothing happened to the lamp.

Then we just went to a Tim Horton's (a coffee shop) and waited until everyone had to go home.

Do people read anything that Kaladin posts? She clearly doesn't have access to a counsellor.

They might not have an on campus guidance councilor. Talk to the office about it.

Maybe a trusted teacher then?

I wish I could help you more at all .-.

And a guidance counselor is just someone who's there to, well, help guide students or whoever through difficulties and generally help how they can.
