i am not a wise old man but here is what i have learned. if someone who is significantly younger than me tries to find faults in me and tell me how to be a better person, they dont have a damn clue what they are talking about. and if they try to act all enlightened and wise about it, which your post gave me the impression you have done that, then it is just going to piss me off. and if you are insulting your mother it is you who be the terrible person show some fucking respect you little brat.

oh yeah, and try writing her a letter. you think that will fix things you are delusional. try acting like a better person. also if what she is so close minded about is your curfew time, your grades, you smoking or drinking or any shit like that, then you are just a whiny little pussy because that is how 95% of good parents are.
