lately, i've been under a lot of stress. most of the pressure is coming from my parents. knowing the fact that there is no room for mistakes in my parents eyes pretty much explains it. and lets put it this way: they take away my cell phone if i get a B on my report card. not only are they juicing me academically, but sports are a big factor too.
every week day, from 2:30 (end of school) to 5:30 in the evening, im property of the school track team. i know its fantastic for my health but 3 hours of pure running? not my idea of a fun sport. plus it makes me go home every night with a sore, sweaty, and tired body. it has taken away basically everyday that i used to hang out with my friends also.
im one of the main flyers for my cheer squad too. in a way it is important to my parents that i stick with it. they say that if i get a scholarship for cheerleading, they'll buy me a nice car. psht. bite me.
well when i get home at 5:30, i have approximately 1 & 1/2 hours of homework/studying per night. my parents have very high expectations for me. yeah i know they care about my future but commmee onnnn.
everything is on high alert for them because im a teenager. it seems like a lot more things are stricter too.
after the homework i prepare everything for the next day (pack my bag, pick out my clothes, take a shower, etc). i know thats my choice, but my morning schedule is very hectic.
in the past week i have made some outstanding grades. i even got into honors classes for next year. the thing with my parents is they'll say "good job, im proud of you... now study for your history test tomorrow"
sorry to make this longer but my weekends are just as packed as my weekdays. i have been loaded with babysitting jobs because my parents and i have good backrounds. anyway, i get at least 2 jobs per weekend (usually on friday and saturday nights) and usually around the same times (5-10 or 11). the money i can live with, but with my schedule, why would i ask for more work?
so i need some advice about dealing with stress. my parents are a little unreasonable so please dont tell me to have a talk with them. we're not that kind of people.
i will rate as high as it gets. thanks, appreciate it. (link)

If you can't talk with your parents there is a whole heck of a lot you can do to fix this situation. You should most certainly consider dropping track -you don't sound too big on it-
Stay in cheerleading, from what you described your parents really respect you and that sport and want you to strive in that area.
As for grades, I know plenty of people who have parents like this. They have tried everything and had no luck.
You'll have to try to talk to your parents, don't yell. Even if they yell, keep calm. Just explain your situation to them.
