I’ve been asking her to take me to the eye doctors for months now, but every time shes says that she will, she laster makes up some excuse why she can’t. I understand that money is tight right now, but its getting to the point where It’s effecting my school work [I'm in summer school right now] like there have been times where i have given up on assignments due to the fact that i can read the board to see what I’m supposed to do. I feel so helpless when I can read something. I just want to cry, what can I do?
Tell the teacher, and when the teacher tells you to tell your mom or dad, let her know you already have told your mom and don’t be ashamed to tell your teacher that you guys don’t have money for glasses. Your teacher probably knows a way to help you get glasses for low cost, and can help your mom by telling her too. I’m not trying to get you to "tattle" on your mom, but apparently she’s not taking your needs into consideration. If you cant do your school work, then she needs to figure out some way to help you. The teacher can have a conference with your mom, and let her know what she needs to do for you.
Most importantly, you need to let your teacher know so that he or she doesn’t think that you are becoming a bad student because you are not trying, let the teacher know that you have a problem. They are there to help.
