As a high school students I am compared a lot with other people, I sometimes feel broken and sad but then I know I need to face it. Something like that happened today too, so you see my parents are spending a lot of money on me for my tuitions and school and I truly respect them but...I dont care if my parents hate me for this but I just want them to be a little more understanding and listen to my opinions too.
My parents are thinking I dont study, I just pass my time because they dont SEE me studying.
Algebra is a weak topic of mine and then the day before yesterday I gave a test of algebra in my tutions which I wasnt informed about so I was able to score only fifty percent marks and for that reason my parents.. They insulted me in front of my sister and they commented on my freinds, my hardwork and everything, they think that I am not capabl of scoring good marks and the worst part they ask for a reason for my marks but when I give them the reason they just say we dont want any excuses, youneed to score more.
I really think my parents were worried about me and they care about me a lot but someimes I wish they just listen to me once this was my second test and my performance in the first test was exceptionally well but they think that I am lying to them.
I understand myself but I just wanna know that am I misunderstanding or my parents need to listen to me.

Your parents have an uneducated and parochial perspective on parenting - you sound INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and insightful! Having 1 subject you’re not good at is Nothing to demean a child over - you obviously have amazing talents and gifts in the area of writing, thoughtfulness and insight SO remember that EVERYONE is not great at many subjects and you are trying your best, likely doing very well in many subjects AND doing far better than many - your parents are human and do not understand the negative impact they have on you, but at the same time, despite their lack of compassion and knowledge in this area of parenting, they are pushing you (too hard and incorrectly) out of love and want for the best for you. Many people will be like this in your life, and some not with good intention. Be strong, do not let them ‘get to you’ or get in your head. Acknowledge their comments as helpful, and politely ask that they discuss these things with you without an audience as it will help you hear their requests more clearly. You reached out for help here which shows you have a great heart and are trying your best - that is actually most of what matters in life so be strong - you’re doing great!
ReplyYour parents just want the best for you. (My parents are the same way. They just don't really know how to parent the best way...) I wish I could tell you that they're going to listen, but if your parents are anything like my parents, they probably won't. In their desperation for your good future and success, they'll be blind to your own knowledge about the situation. But their intentions are good. Just take the criticism and dream about the day of sweet freedom... that's what I do. And just keep trying your best. Because in the end, the only opinion's that matter are God's and your own.
I believe in you!
Replyyou're understanding it, alright! It's not exactly helpful, but I just want to say thank you for saying the thing about your parents saying they don't want excuses...my mother is always treating me like that. if I got a grade that was 5% less than the last one she's like "WHY did you do this? Are you feeling traumatized right now? Is there something I need to know about?"
