You can tell your mother how you feel and that you'd like her to get treatment, but you can't change her. Often, the only thing that can help an addict is for her to want help for herself and admit she has a problem. If you've tried your best to help, but always end up being hurt or ignored, it's not your fault. Nothing you did made her start doing drugs and you must never blame yourself. You haven't failed your mother or done anything wrong for her to use drugs. Recognize your own risks associated with drugs with a close family history. Kids that have a drug using parent tend to start using drugs and earlier and harder than kids that don't have a drug-using parent. They are also more likely to develop drug disorders. You may feel so involved with the drug problem that you forget to take care of yourself. Make sure you spend time taking care of your own needs. You don't need to give up your social life to take care of your mother. Remember, this is her problem and unfortunately, you're involved in it but not responsible for her. Keep your body and mind healthy, hang out with friends, and do things that make you happy. Don't let your entire life revolve around your mother. Part of taking care of yourself is making sure you have healthy outlets for you to take out your stress, anger, sadness, pain, etc. Being a teenager is hard enough, but having to deal with the stress of having a drug addicted mother makes things a lot harder for you.

Exercise is a great way to release stress and keep your body happy. Go for a walk, skip, or do some jump rope. You can join sport teams at school to keep you moving. Spend time with friends. One the best ways to bust stress is to surround yourself with fun and supportive people. It's important to have someone in your life that you trust that you can talk to about your mother's problems and how they affect you. It's okay to talk about the hurt, frustration, embarrassment, anger, and fear associated with your mother's use. This can be a coach, guidance counselor, spiritual leader, aunt/uncle, or therapist.

This person can encourage you, show you that you can make it through, and be an example that things can work well for you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have temperatures above 75F (24C) during the summer, plant your vegetable crops in May or June. Make sure they are planted after the threat of frost is over. Lettuce, cabbage, kale, and tomatoes are all great options to plant in the summer. Most fruit, like apples, oranges, lemons, and limes can be grown on trees in a 12,000 square feet (1,100m2) area. Start with planting a fruit tree in a pot to monitor the soil and water intake, and then transfer it to the ground after 1 year during the early spring. Most fruit trees will not start bearing fruit until they are 2 to 3 years old. Vine fruits, like grapes, can be grown anywhere with a trellis that they can climb. If you live in an area that gets below freezing and has a lot of precipitation, plant grains like rye. Rye is able to withstand the cold temperatures and the heavy rainfall that will happen in many areas of the world. Plant your rye in the early fall before the first frost hits. Winter grains will usually give a higher crop yield than summer grains. Summer grains, like corn, do best during warm weather. If your summers get hot, plant corn in May or June and let it grow over the summer months. Corn does especially well in the midwest area of the United States. Rice needs a tropical climate to grow. Southeast Asia is the best climate for rice crops. Potatoes, beets, radishes, and other vegetables that grow underground prefer to grow during the colder months. Plant root vegetables in July or August to prepare for a fall harvest. You can grow these even if the threat of frost is near, since they are hearty enough to withstand it.
Summary: Grow most leafy greens and vegetables during a warm summer. Plant fruit in the early spring in a moderate climate. Grow winter grains in a cold, wet climate. Farm summer grains in a warm, moderate climate. Let root vegetables mature during the fall.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you feel like you're not understanding the material in your classes, don't be afraid to ask your professors or peers for help. The resources vary by college, so find out early how you can get help. Some people like to do schoolwork in the tutor center. It's a quiet place, and then if you need help, you can ask for it. Ask your classmates if they want to study. It can make studying more fun, and you can learn a lot. Grades are not the only measure of your skill as a student, and if they're not good, you often still have time to improve them. Focus on getting good grades, not perfect grades, and doing the best you can. If you did your best, that's a victory and you can feel proud. If you're worried about your grade, try going to office hours and asking your professor for help. Professors like students who take initiative and show up to office hours. It helps to review your notes after each class, and ask questions if you have them. Then start studying for tests early, so that there is no rush. Try starting your studying a week before the actual exam. Never pull an all-nighter. Even if you manage to stay awake during the exam, your memory will be impaired due to sleep deprivation. Students who pull all-nighters get worse grades, and students who get enough sleep before an exam get better scores. Buy new clothes, eat a hearty meal, go out with friends, or take a long break to watch your favorite show and relax. Good effort is worth celebrating. You don't want to be surprised when you get midterm or final grades. Instead, check your grades periodically so that you'll notice if something looks wrong or bad.

Treat yourself after working hard for an exam or project. Keep an eye on your grades. Talk to librarians for research projects. Borrow books first before buying.
