    No. She is just trying to help you by showing you a way to start communication with your Mom. She suggested this because it will help to calm you and allow you to say exactly what you want to. You can simply read what you have written to her. Communication is a two-way street and is a skill that has to be learnt. It is no good saying that you and your Mom don't communicate if you never really try. Your Mom is not a mind reader - she cannot hear what you are thinking. If you say nothing at all (or very little) then how do you expect her to know what you are feeling and thinking? For example, from what you have written above you are upset with your teacher. Did you communicate this to her? Did you ask why she suggested what she did? Did you say to her, 'please can you explain why you think this will make a difference?' Probably not. Again, the teacher is not a mind reader. If you want somebody else to know something, you have to tell them. It is simply no good expecting people to guess what the problem is and then getting upset when they don't.

    Why don't you try what your teacher suggested before writing this off as failed? After all, you don't know if it will work or not - you've never tried. And lets face it, your current methods of communicating are not exactly successful are they?

    Give it a go, you may be suprised.
