Ok I feel i have to be perfect. I have to get straight As and everything and yes I DO want to get straight As but my parents get disappointed when i get like a B on my test cuz everything has to be an A and Im find as long as my final grade is an A. This one girl (who Im slowly distancing myself from because shes not respect to me, etc) was like "OMG SARAH GOT A C ON A TEST?" I was like "Whatever, I still have an A"
But in my one class I got a B, so now I have to get another A to get an A for the last semester and my dad is really putting pressure on me and I DO want to get an A (I get upset if I dont) but this year has been really negative this year and I feel overwhelmed and everything. I just want to cry because my dad got sick, i really have no true friends or anything,and i feel lonely.
and i have talked to my mom about this and shes like "No we arent." Ack. what should i do?
Additional info, added Friday April 13 2007, 9:37 pm: also, that girl only found out cuz her best friend told her (she sits behind me). and thats another pressure/expectation i have to live up too!.

what i would tell you is that life isn't about being perfect. and you shouldn't have to feel like it is. and your parents pressuring you trust me, i know what thats like. because my parents don't pressure me at all, i kind of wish i could get some acknowledgment some of the time. But, listen things will work out for you.
I would write down your thoughts, so that you aren't so closed up and coming to this darn site for answers. because when i re-read my entrys, i find my answers.. lol. =]

I used to be one of the smartest kids in my shcool, and now I just don't try and I'm still up there. But if I did still have that pressure it would be better for me. But you probably will thank your parents for pushing you, as if you keep it up you will get into a great college. But you should talk to them, and tell them that you don't need the pressure.
