My mother's always saying get grades that are basically A+. This is too much for me. What do I do? Since I stopped listening to her, because of all of the pressure, she's been pressuring my brother, ever since he got the High Honor Roll. She keeps on saying that the C+, even though we try hard, and give a freaking effort, she doesn't see that we did try hard. She thinks that the C+ is like an F. It's so annoying. I'm pretty close to snapping because of how frustrating my OWN MOTHER IS.
That must be hard to feel that pressure. Can you talk about the pressure with her? Can you share with a trusted person that would help you talk to mom? Pressure is hard and school is tough at times so it’s okay to not get perfect grades despite what is expected. Guidance can help you talk about things if you want to vent about it, talk to your school counselor. Hang in there and just know no one is perfect! Everyone is perfectly imperfect in their own way! Please reach out to 2NDFLOOR if you want to talk by calling or texting 888-222-2228 anytime. We are here 24/7.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
