Your mother just seems like she is trying to help you succeed, as would any good mother. If she didn't care for you, she would let you play all day, and would not care if you cheated, or made C's. She wants you to make A's and B's because she knows that can influence your success in the future. Come ninth grade, all your grades count for college.
So, my advice is this: toughen up a bit. Yes, it will be hard, and the standards are set high. Do what you can to meet those standards. Sure, you may not meet all of them, but when your parents see that you are in fact trying, they may loosen up on you. Try and take responsibility;like you could do your homework before you go onto fun sites like Chicken Smoothie. Set goals for yourself, and instead of blowing them off, work to meet them. They don't have to be dramatic at first, but they can build so you can get better and better at life skills. The skills and habits you build now will stick with you for the rest of your life. Make them good habits. ^-^
As for your brother, you are not him. Period. Kids are all different, and I can tell you for certain that I am not my brother either. My brother was a 4.0 student, and took lots of AP classes. I, on the other hand, am artistic and more laid back. I am not as caring about my grades, yet I still do fairly well. So, the point is, is that you are not your brother, and if you can't be like him, then don't try. It is more than frustrating to set goals you can't meet. So again, set them low at first, then build up from there. Establish those good habits ^-^
Does that help Tasha? ^-^
Edit: As for your last part about being Christian and not being able to have fun like that, all I can say is I find that ridiculous >=[ You can be a Christian and still have lesbian friends, be into dragons and magic and what-not. God is not going to hate you and smite you and send you to hell if you like that stuff. *sigh* But what your parents say is law for you hun. When you grow up and are able to get your own house, you can make the rules, and you can choose what to allow in the household. But for now, your parents don't approve of that, and no form of not liking those rules will make them go away. However, I do suggest you talk to them about it. Tell them what you feel about it. Communication is always a good thing, even if it is awkward ^-^.

My parents catch me watching Naruto I'm done for. But I love watching it. ITs the highlight of my day! (I can only watch at night)
