first off, quit smoking
second, if you smoke at school, stop
third, stop spending mothers money on you, let her keep her money

Now that we quit the kiddie shit, get your grades up, nothing makes parents more proud than good grades. When you get a good grade, from your point, id say a B or higher, show mother this nice grade. Your mother loves you she wants to see you happy. I wish my parents would do the same, but I have been disowned from the family and now all I am is a mooch living here. Both of my parents want me out. Know your lucky.

Tell mom you love her and give her a hug, do this every day and if your ready, bring the topic of her tumor up, she needs to be upfront and honest with you. Your post makes me feel like crying because I cant do the same, I cant stress how lucky you are that your parents love you. When a family member is sick, the best thing you can do is stick togheter, instead of being with your friends, just once in a while, on the weekends spend time with your mom, I dont care if you guys watch oprah or just go eat at dennys, just quality time with you SOBER. If my mom knew that I smoked bowls on mothers day and her birthday and thanksgiving and christmas she'd probally cry. She cried when she found out what I did for my birthday. All mom wants is for you to be happy, to see you smile, just tell her you love her.
