parents think soo much of me
ohkay on my last report card these were my grades..
math, A-
science, A-
english, A-
social studies, B
I'm a smart girl and my parents consider a "B" failing in their eyes. of course i was grounded with no tv no phone and no computer for a week.
my parents think im not trying. the truth is i try my best. i work myself sooo hard i study for everything. none of my friends even study anymore but i study like crazy. i do all my homework i really try and get things done.
my grandpa my mom and my dad had a 3 hour talk with me about how my grades are slipping. okay wow i got a "B" but is it seriously the end of the world? they still think im in 6th grade when you could get an A+++++ without ever studying or trying. i wish they congratulated me when i get all "A's" and 1 "B". they make me so anxious all the time because if i get an 86 or 88 on a test they flip out. once they got mad when i got a 91!!!
i only got A+ in elementary school and a little bit of middle school because it was easy back then. now they expect more of you and you have to work for straight A's. how can i prove to my parents that i do try my best and im not very good in Social Studies and i should be glad a got a "B"

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You have the worst problem that's infected Generation Y, the pushy parents.
You seriously need to sit down and talk to them instead of having them sit down and talk to you. Tell them that that you're trying very hard. You might even be trying too hard and only for them. You should be studying because you want to study, not because you're trying to fulfill -their- dreams. It's way too much pressure for a fourteen year old to deal with all of this now, especially since you're going to be breaking your back in university because they probably want you to get a BS, an MS and a PhD or something.
Yes, you should study hard and get into a university (A-s and Bs are actually pretty good for your first years especially since the grades barely count in your grad req) but you should also be able to have some fun, you're barely a teenager. You just can't slave over your studying all the time, how is that going to help your social development at all? You won't be able to grow, you'll just keep sticking facts and information into your head all the time.
There's nothing you can do anymore. You'll just have to reason with them and hope that they'll figure out that what you're doing isn't right and though they have your best interests at heart, maybe they're missing out on other important things too.

Tell them there's more to life then grades. If your confident of your goals and that you will achieve them you don't need to be pushed by your parents.
Be harsh with them, i know they want the best for you, but maybe they need to cut you from slack.

A lot of parents are like this you are not the only one, although they are doing it in a horrible way they are really just trying yo make sure you get somewhere great in life, and looking at your grades you will! you need to talk to them and talk to them about what they are doing and how it makaes you feel, dont let them do this to you they should be happy at how well you are doing and not making you feel bad for getting a B!!
goodluck, love Emily
