I am currently in a program called the IB program. I'm still doing pre IB, as IB doesn't really start until grade 11.
Last year in grade 9, I had a lot on my shoulders because first, I wasn't getting good grades, always averaging out to around 60% to 70%. This year I have definitely improved , but it is still not enough for when I actually get into the IB program because grade 11 is where the grades actually count (as universities usually look into these grades).
It's only two months into school and I'm still not satisfied with my grades, which is understandable because I've only just begun grade 10. I just feel so much pressure from my parents, and I feel like they don't care that I've started improving, it just makes me feel terrible, that if I don't get 90's in anything it just seems like I didn't put any effort at all to my marks. I just want my parents to notice that I really am trying hard and IB is still something that I'm not used to. I'm too scared to face my parents about this topic because I already know that their answer will be about studying all day and that's the way to being successful in life. But I want a social life too! I get that my parents want me to be successful and become a doctor but it's so hard.. I'm always criticizing myself for not being smart enough and comparing myself to my classmates, it messes with my brain even more.. which results me into stressing so much more, which makes me become more unfocused, therefore making me a sad person. Which I don't want to be. I want to be a happy person with good grades and proud parents.
I've asked many times if I could drop to the normal academic course which is actually recommended for me, but my parents don't care! It's so frustrating... It's kind of sad for me to express my feelings here instead of talking to someone.. But I really have no one to talk to about this because they most likely won't understand...
I need some opinions/advice for my current situation.. thanks
