Test Anxiety and parents
My grades this year have completely gone downhill- its my first year not getting all A's, and now I'm concerned with failing 3 of my classes. My parents always complain how they hate when teachers blame poor test grades on students with "ADD" or "Test Anxieties" as they think they're are excuses. I truly feel I have test anxiety and I have done quite a bit of research on it. (My grades on homework, classwork, and projects are typically 100s while my test grades are failing) I have no idea how to bring this up to my parents with out getting laughed at. Help, please.

If it is really worrying you I think it's really important to tell your parents,they wont laugh at you because they love you and they just want the best for you, if you tell them i'm sure they will help you find a solution to your anxiety!

You're going to have to get your proof gathered. Get a stack of homework with high scores and your stack of low-scoring tests. Explain to them that this is serious to you because you're failing a few of your classes now. Let them know that you know they don't believe in test anxiety. Tell them how you feel just before and while taking a test. They're going to have to take it seriously when they see that you're failing because of it. I doubt they'll laugh when they understand the seriousness of the situation to you.
