Tell your Mum how you feel. She'll probably think you're being dramatic at first but then after you have told her, point out any behaviour you are not comfortable with immediately to your Mum when it happens. This will highlight to her your issues and she can correct anything she agress with when it happens.
I hope this helps you! :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
