Answer:

just a random Teenage who's been through the same thing

Explanation:

if you really care about what your mom think I'd suggest changing some thing's about you . maybe study more or something . if you don't usually try then go ahead try harder.

but if youre doing everything right but your cousin just seem to be better then you can't do much but try to explain to her that you're trying your best

stay safe and don't do anything you'd regret

Your question is not educational, but I'll be happy to give you some advice.

From a person who has dealt with a parent comparing me to others, I completely understand how you feel. Parents do sometimes get mad at their children for misbehaving but it not acceptable whatsoever to bring them down like that. I hope you understand that no one but YOU is allowed to dictate your worth. If you can, I suggest bringing this matter up with your mother and tell her how her remarks make you feel. If you cannot do that, I suggest speaking with a school counselor, friend, relative, or teacher about this. Sometimes expressing your feelings with others is the best medicine.

Have a great day!
