I've been getting a lot of pressure from my mother to do really well in school. I really do try my hardest, and getting a bad grade makes me upset. But she seems to think that I'm not smart enough. Which, by the way, is not true at all. All of my classes are honors. However, I'm just not that good at math and science. I never have been. She yells at me everytime i get a bad grade, when all I need is support. I've tried to tell her that she's not helping me at all, but she just gets madder.
I just started to cut myself, and I'm trying to stop. But her pressure was part of the things that made me do it. It's that bad.
What can I do?
