Why won t my mother just be proud of me for once

I’m so pissed off and upset right now. I just got done with my exams but I haven’t gotten the marks back yet and my mom said that’s going to make me redo the courses if I don’t get at least an A- on my overall mark in my classes. I was struggling with science and history in the beginning and by midterms my marks were pretty shit. C (65%) in science and B- (70%) in history. I was at a B- (72%) in both course going into the exam. I have no chance of getting an A in history, the highest possible grade I would be able to get is a B (75%). And the highest possible grade I could get in science is an A- (80%) but I’d have to get near perfect on the exam for that to happen. My mom sees anything under an A- a failure and she thinks I clearly don’t care about my grades enough when I’m getting marks like that. I do care a lot about my grade and I’ve been trying my hardest to get my grades up through class work and assignments. I studied extremely hard for the exams. My mother won’t even listen to me when I tell her that both of those teacher are hard marks AND my history teacher has never given out an A too any of her students, she said it herself. I just feel like such shit and that I’m letting her down. She makes me feel like a fucking failure. I’ve had so many fucking mental breakdowns over these marks that I can’t take it anymore. I just want her to be proud of me for trying and stop giving a fuck about not getting the highest marks and shit.
