Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML

Today, my mom went snooping through my art bin to "clean out my old drawings". She found numerous nude pieces and accused me of selling porn. My mom mistook and threw out 57 anatomy practice sketches that I worked very very hard on, and ripped up the remainder of my drawings. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, my parents are upset that I never ask them for help with my homework and struggle with it myself. They won't accept the answer that whenever I do, they're always yelling at me and putting me down. Dad in particular can't get through one assignment without becoming a screaming tyrant about my handwriting. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I was doing homework in the living room when my mom came in and started blasting music and cleaning. When I asked if she could turn it off so I could study, she bitched at me about "My house, my rules." She also has a rule that we can’t do homework in our rooms because of too many distractions. FML
Today, I had to do a still life of a pillowcase for my drawing class. To make up for bad grades I've gotten before, I followed my professor's directions to a T. He took 19 points off because I drew the background when no one else did. We have to do it for every piece. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, I was crying after having argued with my boyfriend. My mom saw me, she asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you have homework to do?" FML

Sympathies OP. Your mother needs to make this up to you.

What about your other unfinished homework? I'd hide those if I were you.

Why not use what you have left of it? make it an abstract and glue it over another piece of paper.

maybe tape it back together and then trace it on a new piece of paper?

She sounds kinda psycho!! Hopefully your art teacher will understand.

Show your art teacher the deceased remains of your drawing and say it's a puzzle. On a serious note, as an art enthusiast and having spent days at a time on drawings, I feel so much second-hand pain for you right now.

Lmao I would have slapped her

You would slap your mom? You really don't want to be 15, do you. Yeah, mom did wrong and owes her kid all kinds of apology, but once again, if your first reaction is to slap, you have a bit of a problem yourself.

True... issues with controlling anger is what started the problem after all. She got pissed so she did something really mean. Doing the same thing back just will make them more angry, and who knows what else they're gonna wanna tear up next, math homework maybe? The mother needs to learn to control her anger and not do such mean things. Tearing or breaking stuff is not okay. But I do understand feeling like you want to hit someone if they break or ruin your important things. Of course that would make you angry. If you're not able to get an apology out of someone who did that to you, you might end up having anger problems yourself.

If you think I have a problem you should see my sister. But really, I can put up with a lot of bs that my mom does but her ruining something of mine for some stupid reason is not something I'd just sit around and do nothing about. And I know hitting her wouldn't be a great idea but honestly who doesn't want to slap people when they're pissed off?
