Say something like this to your mom, "Mom, I did fine in homeschooling because you weren't pressuring me. If you keeps this up my grades will go down."
And I think you're not making friends because you said you're shy in person? The reason it's easier online is because it's pointless to be shy. It doesn't matter what someone thinks about you over the net because there are thousands of other people you can talk to. Unlike real life where it's a lot more limited. I'm sure there are some people that love video games and anime there. You just haven't found them yet. I mean, use me as an example. Form what you've heard about me IRL (the pranks and stuff), would you think that I like anime? I don't think so. D<
