How to stop my parents from making school a disaster?

my name is courtney and I go to a private school. When I am in school my parents put a lot of pressure on me.. For example..I got a B on a math test, and my parents exploded, I was grounded for a week. My teachers say to lighten up, but I cant or I will get in trouble, I tried talking to my parents but they won’t listen, I am only in 8th grade.

Please Help!

Answer #1

Wow, I would do anything to get a B. I get D’s and F’s, sadly enough. But I am a good person, I just don’t do as well as I could in school. Just sit them down and explain to them you are feeling a lot of pressure and would like them to just let you handle it. It is your future not theirs and they need to understand that. Hope I helped!

Answer #2

tell your parents off for crap sake i wish i had a B for a swich…i try my hardest but never get a grade i deserve and yes i may not do all the work but i do almost all of it and get A’s on all my tests and standards and projects…but yet one of my teachers gave me a D…and im also the nicest person in the class.

Answer #3

Talk to your school psychologist or a close relative. Your parents are insane, and are doing more harm than good. Don’t give up, you are not too far away from 18.

Answer #4

They just want you to do your best. In the future good grades will = $$$

Once you get into college getting all A’s means ALOT to an employer once you get into the workplace. So starting now isn’t bad. You can carry a 4.0 with you the rest of your life!

Sit down and talk with your parents. Explain to them that punishment is just discouraging you more and that you want to do your best. (you DO want to do your best right?)

I know right now college seems sooo far away and starting your career seems a long ways off but preparing now will set you ahead.

Answer #5

tell your parents that your doing your best and if they dont under stand tell a counsler
