I'm 16 and a sophomore and the reason why I think I'm punished is because of grades. So essentially I'm supposed to keep As and Bs. Since April my grades dropped because I struggled with the new work coming in after returning from the hospital for a week(I know a week may sound short but it was right before spring break and all the important work was cramped). I had 2 low Bs (honors bio and ap world history) and had an F for honors literature. I got punished by having my technology taken (using a burner rn) now this isn't what pissed me off. I understood what I had to do and I didn't do it but since this happened so late in the year unless I got straight 100s I wasn't going to get a B. I understood that the technology punishment wasn't going to be lifted as a consequence of that since that's what me and my mother agreed to. The issue I'm having is that I had told my mom that me getting a B wasn't happening and she seemed to understand that but recently she asked about my grades again since at the time I had F in lit. She came at me pretty aggressively and so I gave her an attitude (looking back i shouldn't have) I told her that the reason my grades weren't going up was due to my assignments not getting turned in. She still seemed pissed and probably thought I was making excuses which is fair but she continued "interrogating" me. I told her there wasn't much more to it and that this conversation is useless. She made it clear in the conversation that she was disappointed for me "giving up" and not trying harder which I responded again with an attitude screaming "there's nothing I can do to bring it back up to a B I'm not an idiot I understand my grades are bad right now what do you want me to do". She understandably got mad at my attitude and screamed at me to get out which I did. She called me back to remind me to walk the dog and with an attitude I said "I know that I'm doing that right now." She went quiet then said she's going to remove my door. Im going to be honest I thought she was bluffing but the very next day when I came home from school I saw my door gone.

To be honest I'm just annoyed and confused. The thing is that the day where my door was removed my lit grade had become a C. Meaning that I wasn't going to fail the grade so now I'm just like why? She can check and see I won't get a B. The agreed upon punishment has happened. I've screamed and had an attitude over school arguments before and this type of punishment never happened and it's not as if I frequently argue with her about anything. I don't get in trouble in school. Like I don't do anything and when I compare how I act to my friends who do bullcrap all the time and struggle in normal classes they never get punished like this. I'm alone in class most of the time, I barely get the opportunity to hang out with anyone because of my technology being taken, and now I can't even be in my room in peace? Like I get it Im definitely not doing good right now but damn. It's always been like this too. If I slept in class boom a month of no phone and a bedtime for the rest of the year. I'm just so annoyed with her punishments which I guess in her perspective are an upgrade from getting beaten since that's what happened to her when she was a kid but sometimes I'd rather have that than this. I'm just so annoyed and idk if I deserve it or not but I just want to leave this house and do whatever I want .
