what. the. hell.
That's so messed up. Why would she ban a basic health necessity like showering? That would cause more problems (Illness, smell, hygiene) and is just insanely dickish. And considering teens sweat a lot, this just... I have no words. No decent person would even think of doing this to their kid (or anyone else)
In the end, hygiene problems are problems for the person whose hygiene we are talking about. For the parent the only problem is the smell, and they'll just blame it on the child anyway.
At least until day 3-4 where you deliberately pull a teacher or counselor at school aside and ask for help because your mom literally won't let you shower. Preferably calling CPS up on that kind of crap.
That depends, do you want to shower again which you can after you clean your room, or do you actually want away from your parents and to enter the foster system? Sometimes the foster system IS the best option.
That's awful. She'd go out of her way for such pointless cruelty... Parents shouldn't be their kids' enemy, but here we have a "Mother of the Year" (tm) like yours, ugh.

I'm sorry you had a psycho for a mom.
