I do no have a job, I want one though, and my school work weighs alot on my mind. I fear that I won't be able to play my video games anymore; I grew up with video games and having them taken away from me is something I don't know if I can't live without. I don't find anything else entertaining then playing video games. Well.. there is the possibility of having conversations with a girl but I got rejected three times in a row last week; that was to much pressure for me to handle (I quit with women!). I have alot of issues to sort out.
*This is real, no story.
you almost had me until this post. I'll play along though..
what is your first language?
Yep. Let's go through a few of them.
1. At 16 (you are either 16 or 17, not 16/17) you are old enough to know it's a bad idea to disobey your parents just because you don't want them telling you what to do. It's childish. If you want to demonstrate that you are "wise", obey your parents while you're underage and living under their roof unless you have a damn good reason not to.
2. You talk back at times you know it will piss your mom off and provoke her into assaulting you. Don't get me wrong here - she's completely wrong to be doing that. However, in this situation you have control of what you choose to do and say. Don't choose to mouth off.
3. You don't seem to understand that your schedule, at 16, is subordinate to the schedule of the household. If you need to adjust to chores, helping your mom, being home at certain times, adjust. If you get upset and disorganized when this happens, learn to adjust better. It'll happen a lot in the real work world once you get there.
4. You have zero understanding for your mother's situation. At your age, you're bright enough to know that a broken arm and a broken leg means that you should be pitching in to help out. If you're a single-parent household, which it sounds like you are, you're also old enough to know that your mom can probably use all the financial and household help she can get. Pitch in without being asked and stop bitching when things don't go your way or you get asked for help.
5. You're a picky eater and you're not self-sufficient. Your brother ate all the food you like? Go buy some more. Work things out with your brother so you share the groceries. Consider it practice for having a roommate someday.
6. You think playing video games is more important than getting a job. Your priorities are pretty screwed up if you think you can't live without video games.
You sound fairly similar to many other teenagers who are in the process of coming to terms with a few things. The world doesn't revolve around you. You don't know everything. The answer to nearly all of your problems in life will be to put more effort into working on them. You can survive even if you have to sacrifice things you want/like.
You want to fix your mother? Try this:
Go to her and apologize for being disrespectful, selfish and unhelpful. Find a job and offer to help her do chores and pay for household expenses. Inform her that you intend to cut back your computer time to an hour a day and use the free time to take some of the load off her shoulders. I bet that fixes her really quickly. She'll be a model mom.
Unrelated advice: study harder in school, especially English class.
Wow, I'm very insulted.. I get picked on my English skills, my life, and my attitude. I was trying to write earlier that I have to have the world revolve around me for now. Why you say, I need to feel free and peaceful in order to do my work. I don't want my mother on my back all the time, I can understand that she is going through alot of problems in her life but I don't want to add another to her stockpile. I let her be and whenever my mother asks for help, I give it. I do whatever she says but I say that if you ask for something, do it politely. It is a request, not an order. I know I will get flamed for this but I do not believe in authority. It makes the house divided and the administrator pulls all the strings to your daily life. I don't want to be a puppet you know? In addition, I work my arse off in my English class and I can not get anywhere. I have a bad life I think, I am not normal and my situation grows harder everyday. Someone will say that you never seen what a "Hard situation" is but I compare everything to my standards, not yours. I don't obey the pure pressure that accumulates around me when I am on a forum; your views and standards will reflect your replies on this topic. I do not know what to do with my life, I am lost, and my social life is disintegrating with every second I lose. There is no help here, nothing of use. I get attacked and nothing more. If I just keep seeing things about how magnificent this thread is, I will dump this.
Ha, I just described the internet in one post.

The bolded line is why you will not receive any advice that you will find helpful. As long as you feel entitled to have the world revolve around you, you will always be disappointed that it does not. The only fix to this is to modify your expectation and attitude.
Learn to cook some good rice. Rice = uber cheap = 2.00 for a nice bag.
BTW, brown rice for nutrition. It takes longer to cook, but worth it.
Not very filling though.
