My mother may have a problem with English (not literally) any advice?

Question

I don't know how many times I've told my mother I'm disinterested in attending this school she wants me to attend. It literally got to the point where I actually wanted to snap, but I have managed to walk away. My mother says she's doing this for me, and I always question her how is it for me if I don't want it. If I don't want it, then it's not for me. She seems downright stubborn to have me attend that school. If it sounds like I'm disrespectful I'm sorry, it's just that this is something she's been obstinate with for a while now, and we have discussion after discussion about it. My mother seems more interested in me following her dreams than my own. Thank God I'm 16, because I'm so ready to leave once I turn 18. Does anybody know how I can get my mother to respect my decisions?

Answer 1

Pick the school you want to attend and make your future plans based on that. Don't worry about upsetting your mother with your choices, that will probably happen no matter what you do. Even at your age, you have a better idea of what you want out of your life than your mother does. She probably feels like she is trying to spare you from making the "same mistakes she did" but you have your own life to live and lessons to learn.  

Answer 2

Did it ever occur to you that she might be right and that "I want something else may not be a sufficient reason to get your way when you're 16?

It sounds to me like your mother wants you to attend a good school to expand you future opportunities.

Just a thought...

Answer 5

You have to tell her again, how not interested you are in this school.  Tell her that you are sorry but it is your life not hers.  Mention it that this was her dream not yours.  If you choose another school to go to maybe she wouldn't be so upset that you are not going where she wants you to go.  You are only 16 and have a few more years to try and make her see your point of view.
