i feel like im stupid. yet i won the most awards at graduation than anyone else, and im a straight A student.
my parents make me feel like im worthless, when i get a 95, they don't say good job, they say "why". they only approve of 100s.
when they ask me to do soemthing, i just cant understand them, like if they say "get the paper in the desk" i look everywhere and i cant see it, and then they point out that it was in the shelf UNDER something (yeah, like i can see that) and they say look more carefully or something.
my dad is always saying i'm disorganized, when i have a folder which files all the papers from my different classes in different categories and my clothes are in color order.
today i took my dog outside for a walk but everywhere outside is ice so he lifted his feet and i didn't even realize that he was cold and his feet were freezing while he stood on the ice, until my dad came and yelled at me and told me to pick him up, and my mind just went blank. i stood there looking at my dog, and i just went blank. i didnt realize it until he yelled at me a second time.
[my parents are not abusive or verbally abusive, they just scold me like any other parents]
what is wrong with me, and what is wrong with them? what can i do to improve these problems?

your parwents obviously dont appriciate your talent for knowlegdge (unless youre very smart because theyve pushed you all your life, which is what it sounds like :()
youre sensitive too, and obviouly the words they say sound harsh..after all these people are ment to love you more than anyone.
and im sure they do love you with all theur hearts they just "want whats best for you", hicch is what every parent want (well the decent ones anyway :S).
they will claim they ""understand"" when you tell them they dont, but you know what its like..parents think they understand everything, and dont realise that if they DID , we wouldnt have to hide what we really do behind their backs or think what we do,as we are afraid of their reactions.
its normal.
they will stop (i hope) because you wont let them be like this for the rest of yor life. you have other things to worry over and better things to be fussed about in the future:).
there is nothing wrong with you, everyone is diferent, and you will become wiser for every year that you live.

The next time you bring home a test or a paper that isn't a perfect 100, tell him that it's not your fault, you tried, and that's the best you can do. They're probably going to snap back and tell you to try harder, but just tell him you're trying your best. If they don't understand, it's their own problem. Just ignore them..
Secondly, it seems to me like you can't focus correctly. So, this isn't what you want to hear, but call your doctor and ask to get tested for ADD or ADHD. My brother had the same problem, and he had to get tested and found out he had ADD. So, my best bet is to do that.
