I feel like my mom just hates me and here's why...

For starters I failed tenth grade and that's not something I would say out loud. But anyway back to the story, so when my mom found out she's been making my life miserable for the past three weeks. She keeps saying it's my fault and that I don't understand what I've done and just keep calling me a failure and a lazy bum repeatedly everyday. I can't take it anymore she just complains and complains about every little thing I've done. I don't know what I should do. Any ideas?

If you are old enough, and have the means, leave her. Find somewhere else to live.
Your mum sounds very unsupportive and you do not need to be around her toxicity.
If you have good friends, go visit them when she is on a rant.
Just once, stand up for yourself, you have a right to be treated with respect and kindness.
You are not going to change her attitude, so you need coping mechanisms. Leave the home and go for a walk, visit a friend.
Do not play into her narrative, meaning, ignore her when she is being negative.

@Gusman Thank you for your advice. It really means a lot to me.

@WHTSN I feel sadness when reading posts like yours. I went through the same thing all those years ago and it took me a long time to get over such a destructive upbringing.
Too often parent abuse their children which really scars the child.

Update on the situation: My mom started talking to me and turns out I'm taking online classes for my junior year. I'm really excited and my best friends are supporting me so I will see what happens.😄
