Interesting… What is her primary reason?
She says I need to be more “normal” and thinks the other intellects at this school will make me less “normal”. She gets really P1ssed when I don’t go to dances or participate in spirit week.
There is nothing wrong with being intellectual. Maybe she just wants you to have fun before you grow up. Teenage years should be a time to have fun, not stress over good schools and things. It is good to worry, but only on a certain level. I think your mom just wants you to have fun. Just talk to her about this.

See, but I want to go to this school to have fun and be around people like me. As for talking to her rationally, I’m pretty sure she’s clinically insane (might help on future suggestions.
Tell her that. She probably thinks you are too focused on other things.
Just go to a few dances or events like them and let her know that while you prefer to focus on things of substance you will work on your social skills as well. Bring a friend home with you once or twice and it should do the trick.
I have friends and a girlfriend but they are like me so she doesn’t like them. As for dances I am morally opposed to them as organized tribal rituals and on a lifetime boycott. My problems are not easily fixed, I don’t post something here until I have run out of all ideas I can think of.

If you a sure this school is right. Bring her to your level. It might be difficult, but I know it is possible.

My problem is How?
Well, how is she a pain? Does she not listen? Not understand certain words? Maybe she gets too emotional?
She does get too emotional, and I think she tries to live Vicariously through me since her life ended after High School.
Tell her to go stalk the old HS quarterback.
That’s a definite possibility
You have to show her and explain to her how much this means to you, then just charge through her despite all her emotions. She might cry and all, but if she cares about you, she’ll try and listen.

Sorry, I’ve tried that in various situations. She only gets angrier. Excuse me I have to get up at 6
If she is getting angry then she probably thinks you are not understand her about something
That’s what I’m talking about… Seriously get her to think about how she is living and about how you are living. There is more than one way to have fun.
Based upon how you speak here, I agree with your mother.
Stop being such a punk and go meet other people. In the “real world” you don’t always get to choose whom you work with, you’re mother is just trying to make you more exposed to various situations, before you are in a position where it would really hurt.

My friend you are normal. Now not being normal is trying to act the way your mother feels, now as for advice read her this quote, good luck buddy. =)
