i dono, i gess i'm annoyed

okay this has been going on for about a month now. The thing is at school i'm having lil problem with my friends and i'm juts a little tensed about my exams, which are no far at all, its just that when theres something bothering i almost stop talking and just want to left alone so i can reflect on the situation. This isnt rude is it? no ones like that in my family apart from me and brother and he understand me completely.

now the thing is that my mum does not leave me alone, i mean she compares me with every other girl in the whole planet and says "ow my friends daughters, can do this and that and they also study" dont get me wrong but i love my mum very much, however she is really getting to me this past month, like the other day, my grandmother and my mum were sitting together and i was also there watching tv, anyway they talked about something and then she says "ya everyone in this family tells me that, but i dont really bother and just think there dogs barking" and when she did say it i looked at her at the corner of my eye and saw that both of them were looking at me, i then walked out the room with tears in my eyes, came up and went on msn + tsr which cheered me up a million, thanks guys!! btw :smile:

if it was just my mum and friends at school that were bothering me, i could understand but on top of this eveyone is bobarding me with there problems, i mean this week i have got 3 phone calls and 2 e-mails asking for help.

I'm sorry but this thread may be useless but its all building up in me and its actually been going on for more than a month, i havnt told anyone thinking its cool, but its not and doing my head in.

hmm.
maybe you should talk to your mum about how much you hate being compared to others'? parents always compare their kids to everyone elses, its natural. i hate it too, its done so much, but i always tell them that i am me and that no-one else will be like me/i will never be like anyone else, no matter how much they try/want it to happen. i've learnt to ignore things people say to me that i really despise, and it makes me seem so ignorant but i really don't care now.

its always helpful if you talk to someone, the internet can do so much but talking to someone personally helps, even if they don't take it well, at least you can't say you didn't try.

try not to take it too seriously. exams cause stress for everyone, but they happen once so make the most of them.

as for people bombarding you with their problems, it sounds selfish but only help those you know will help you back. i've made the mistake of helping 'friends' who won't speak to me again, but then again i've done them a favour so whether they appreciate it or not, its not my fault i'm nice!
