My mom expects me to be perfect. She hasn't allowed any room for me to be a teenager and screw up. I am respectful to her 98% of the time, but sometimes I just get really annoyed and accidentally say something to her. I never am RUDE to her I guess I just get an attitude. But I am 16 shouldn't I be allowed to everyonce in a while? So whenever I do that she starts bitching about how she raised a brat and how I am so disrespectful and I don't appreciate anything. And I only get really annoyed rarely. And it is like whenever I do she completely forgets all the times I am respectful and thankful to her. So she was nagging me a few minutes ago and I was cleaning up leaves and I guess I rolled my eyes. But honestly, I didn't mean to. I don't even know HOW to roll my eyes. And I did it accidentally. So she just got so mad at me and said she wished she could do her life over and how she will neve rdo anything for me again and I am a huge brat. And I told her I didn't mean to but she is jus going on and on about what an awful daughter I am. And she told me to get out and she didn;t want to see me again. so I don't know how ot deal with my mom. I step out of line one little time and she says she wishes I was never born. What about all the kids who cuss out their parents and so drugs? I am an a student and I have nver touched a cigarette. how do I deal? she makes me cry.
Update: and now I'm sitting here listening to her walk through the house screaming about what an awful child I am and how she wishes she would get in a car accident and die and about how she won't ever do aything for me and how she wishes she could kick me out.

If it's to the point she's wishing you were dead and basically mentally abusing you for no reason, it is time to ask for help. If it was just "I'm gonna ground you" or some BS like that, that's normal. But wishing you were dead is not acceptable.
Call your state's child protective services, or talk with a school counselor, or the police, or something (they should be able to point you in the right direction).
Remember- just because it doesn't leave a bruise doesn't mean it's not abuse. - A month ago
I don't wanna sound mean, but your mom needs to get psychological help. It's normal to fight with your child but she's verbally abusing you by saying she wish she didn't have you and your awful. It's not healthy that she says she wants to get into a car accident and die. You also need to not put the pressure of you being perfect 100% of the time, you need to make mistakes and be a young adult. You could call social services, or talk to a guidance counselor at school, talk to another relative about it. Is your mom depressed, going through a separation, job loss, does she drink alot? Has she been like this all your life? Do you have siblings and is she this way towards them? You need to tell someone and get yourself out of this situation It's not healthy and it could get much worse in the worse case scenario she could start hitting you or something. I know it may bother you to turn in your own mom but you gotta think this will help you and help her if she's trying to cope with something but takes it out on you.
Just please tell someone you can confide in or if you wanna be discreet tell someone you have a friend and want to know where you can get more info for her/him on where to go or who to turn to!
I hope for the best for ya! and remember *YOURE A GOOD PERSON, AND WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT YOU ISN"T TRUE!*
The way your mom treats you isn't right. I know parents get frustrated sometimes, but she shouldn't wish you were never born just because you rolled your eyes. My mom can be pretty hard on me too (yelling at me for being disrespectful when all I did was have my own opinion), but she never tells me she wishes she could do things over or anything along those lines. Granted, I'm in therapy now anyway; I don't think parents always realize how much the things they say affect us.
Try talking to your mother about the way she speaks to you. How does she think it makes you feel when she says she wishes you were never born? What if someone she cared about said those things to her?
If that doesn't work, talk to someone else. Try talking to a family member first--someone who could talk to your mom about the way she treats you, and maybe someone who you could move in with if it comes to that. Or talk to one of your friends' parents if you feel comfortable doing that. But no matter who you talk to, Child Services could end up stepping in.
listen maybe ur mom is just stressed mothers have lifes to I'm sure when she gets mad at you she says things she doesn't mean just out of the blue sometimes people take things out on people they love the most because they know in the long run that they will forgive them do something nice like make your mom breakfast in the morning and show her you apressate all that she does for u.
Your mom sounds vicious. I was a good kid, much like you. I almost couldn't disrespect my parents because I was raised right, but as a teenager sometimes it happens. It's why it's referred to as "teenage rebellion."
You have three choices, really. You can try to talk to your mother, explain to her that you do respect her and appreciate what she's done, but that sometimes you can't help it. Try to connect your behavior to her own at your age. Try to compromise and ignore her words. If that doesn't work, Option 2 is another family member. I had severe issues with my step-parents, and my grandparents and aunt knew it. Both offered to let me move in with them, but I didn't because it wasn't as bad as your situation. If involving a grandparent, aunt, uncle, someone will help, either by you moving in with them or them talking to your mom, try it. Option 3, a counselor at school. Tell them what is going on, see what they advise. Most likely, though, this route can end in Child Services being involved and you in a foster home or something, if she's deemed emotionally abusive. I would definitely try communication and relatives first.
But this isn't normal. Your parent shouldn't be like this. Every parent says things they don't mean at sometime, and my mom used to joke about herself still contemplating abortion when we would do something silly. The difference? I never doubted it was her joking around, and I never felt anything this harsh with my parents. I was rarely yelled at, and when my step-parents got mean, my parents stepped in and set the rules. My step-father once told my sister she needed to "just die already" and my mom hauled off and hit him. So obviously, what you're going through is not normal, not healthy, and you definitely need someone to interfere. There is most likely something deeper going on with your mom, and it will explode one day.
