I'm mad at my mom
Do you often get mad at your mom?
Yeah, she is always on my case about getting good grades.
I know that you don't like criticism, however, getting mad at your mom when she criticizes your academic performance is wrong as she is only trying to help you. Take the criticism as a learning experience and grow from it.
I know she's only looking out for me, but I just can't take criticism well.
Well, you need to learn how. You will face criticism throughout your life. Part of being an adult is knowing how to handle criticism and use it to your advantage.
