its a long story, ill make it short. my best friend lets call her 'lexi', she is an only child. when she was young,about five, she moved to america from argentina. i have known her for almost 3 years now.she is very very responsible. the problem,
her parents expect way way too much of her, they think that as a freshman at our highschool a 99 on a report card is bad. lexi is one of the best students in school i know, she has always gotten a's and this year has been alot harder.and she has started to make b's, which is unacceptable for her parents. she does all her hw, studies for hours, and does almost 5 hours of dance almost every day including teaching it. her parents say she is dumb, dresses like a slut, is irrisponsible, terrible in school, and all these hurtful things. all of those things even my parents and her teachers dont agree on. now they want to take away her dance, which is her life and future career and her cell phone, ect. shes grounded...and other stuff.
what can i do?

i also want to add that her parents are not abusive, so that is not the problem...but that i worry about her. she is always very hurt when her parents tell her she is a horrible child.
what do to?? it would help, thanks

your right they expect toooo much but they are being emotionally abusive by not looking at the good. she should go to a teach or a cousler and seek advice. or it'll never change

i can tell it is harsh but i think you need to console her everytime you see her sad. Try to tell her just follow her dream and don't lose hopes.
