Answer
How about you get a really nice picture frame (from Hallmark or other gift shops) and put a picture of you and your mom in it? I'm a mommy and I love pictures of me and my kids! Or you can even go online and get picture calendars made for 2012 and get same day pickup at cvs: http://www.cvsphoto.com/Photo-Calendars

How can I help my mum straighten up?

Winsop

I certainly hope that I don't sound like an annoyingly angsty teen, because while I am a teen, I don't consider myself anguished in any way. On to the point. Well, my mum needs to straighten up. I absolutely understand that many parents have economic problems over them every day and perhaps kids (I have two brothers), but I feel that it shouldn't deter someone from being correct towards someone.
Now, there's a huge difference between my brothers and I. My older brother and I are well-educated and we know how to respect. My younger brother (He's 12, mind you. However, this isn't the reason for what I'm about to say) is horrible in school. He gets into trouble every day and is awfully disrespectful towards us. In fact, the little bugger got detention a few weeks ago for disrespecting a teacher.
At this point, I hope, any mother would have punished their child if they did something like that. Perhaps grounding them without television, or putting them to study for a long time? At least a serious talk? Well, not with my mum. Technically she did "punish" him by telling him that he couldn't watch television and that he had to complete all of his homework (which he should have been doing in the first place), but mum never enforces these rules. She's like a lawman who sets down the law without actually enforcing it.
The kid's not getting disciplined! The very next weekend, when he asks mum if he could go skating with his friends, she lets him go! Every. Bloody. Time. In fact, I tried confronting her about her lack of discipline, because he was turning into a freaking delinquent! Mum just avoids the question or makes an excuse like: "It was special. His friend was moving out tomorrow."

Now, here is where I might sound a bit bratty, but I've had enough. As said earlier, my younger brother has no respect for anything, humans animals and things alike. A few months ago, my mum comes up to me and asks me to let him use my PS3...Excuse me? You want me to let that disrespecting, arrogant, break-everything kid use a PS3 and the games that I bought with my own money? I told her, strictly, no. Mum lost it. I understand the rant she gave me about being unfair and how I should share, but I believe I had a perfectly good reason. A few weeks earlier, he busted my Gamecube and a few games that now-a-days, you have to pay up to $70.00 to find again because they are no longer sold in Gamestop.
Anyways, after a long argument with mum, I had to surrender my PS3 and the games. I was infuriated, especially because I had gotten that system as a gift for Christmas years earlier. And that mum OFFICIALLY GAVE MY BLOODY CHRISTMAS PRESENT AND ALL MY GAMES TO HIM.

So, my younger brother disrespects a teacher and gets no punishment. However, I clearly answer her question of "May Alex use the PS3?" with a well-backed up no, and my entire system gets robbed from me. I mean...if you were going to force me to let him use it, why bloody ask me in the first place?

Your mother is lacking personal boundaries for herself and with her kids, especially your. Go on-line and look up personal boundaries and talk to your mother about them Here is one site to get you started; http://www.positivelypositive.com/2012/06/29/how-to-create-healthy-boundaries/.
