Great job reaching out! It isn't always easy to talk about what is going on but you did a great job in expressing yourself.
Maybe sitting down with mom when the tension has cooled off would be a good time to talk to her. Letting mom know what you need is important. You know what she needs and expects from you, right? She expects you to work on making better grades. Mom may not realize that you want the same thing but you also need her to be comforting and understanding. Sometimes we all take things for granted and don't always make the best choices. Sometimes we need someone to let us know that we love them and appreciate their help. It is a two way street.
Tell mom what you need and treat her the way you want to be treated. I bet you will start noticing a difference.
Running away is going to get you nowhere. It is going to be a lot harder on the run or on the streets than it is at home. Think about making a change at home before you decide to leave.
Remember, we are here for you and you can call us anytime if you would like to talk.
Take care,
