It's her roof, until you pay the rent you gotta respect her decision.

I know it sounds like a load of crap now, but I feel bad for all of the shit I put my mom through. She's just doing what she thinks is right, and in the end that's why you should be lucky you have her.

Stop smoking for a while, and buy your mom something nice. Tell her how you feel about things and believe that you can balance the two, but you better be prepared to back it up. You better be getting good grades and maybe even get a job. You'll be better for it in the end.

Don't worry so much man, just 3 more years left until no one can tell you what to do. Except the government, your boss, the police, firefighters, your mother, your father, the judges, and old mr. henderson down the road.
