OK before I start if you are not going to give any serious or helpful advice then I suggest you leave now.

I was talking to my mom one time (I just got through my freshman year of high school) and she told me that as long as I got high honors for the year (92% overall or above) she would be proud of me and I wouldn't be grounded. So I tried my hardest all year and finally ended up with high honors. In addition, I had been taking guitar lessons, been in the marching band, and was part of the stage crew for our spring musical. In addition, my high school won a Gene Kelly award for best crew and technical execution, the only thing we were nominated for; as I said earlier, I was part of the stage crew. So I went one day without practicing my guitar. Instead, I helped her clean the entire house (sweeping and dusting every room). She cancels my guitar lessons. Then you know what she says to me? "You are the most pathetic child I have ever seen." I was stunned.

Am I really a failure?

Dobio does have a point. To have doubt with yourself, you must accept the worse. So yes, you are a failure for doubting yourself.

I think your mom is a failure for saying something like that...
Why did she say something like that ?
She probably blames you for all misfortunes in her life...
Seiously, that was a cold thing to say...

And as Lost_Chances said, don't doubt yourself, if you keep working hard as you do now you'll get far in life (unlike the lazy bastard as me)

Also, if your mother keeps on calling you pathetic and a failure, etc, tell a counselor or someone you know will help you about it.

Woah, deja vu.

No, thats just what parents do. The better you get, the higher their expectations get and the harder it is to please them. The best thing to do: lower their expectations by doing crap in all areas, and then whenever you do something remotely good, they become proud of you.

Newgrounds is not a good place to ask that , you know everyones gonna call you a failure .

If you're Jewish, it's called History
If you're Asian, it's called Culture
If you're Black, it's called Pride.. But if you're White, it's called Racism.

No offence here, but your mum sounds like a really demeaning cow. Please don't take that the wrong way. But if she's like that, you should probally ask her why. I mean, was she saying it in a joking way or what? If my mum said that to me, without any particular reason, i'd be pissed!

are you asian?
cause asian parents tend to go a little whacko like that. but look at your accomplishments compared to your one fault that wasnt even a fault. if my mom said that to me when i stayed home to help her id smack that bitch and shit on her face. tell your mom that she was dis respectful and explain how you are not pathetic just like you have to us.

also who cares what your mom thinks? it doesnt matter what anyone sais as long as you dont let it get to you.
