I just got back from a swim meet and i didnt do so well. On top of that, my dad put me down a lot about how i swim. Also, he connected my swimming inconsistency with my grades at school which arent that bad at all. Im getting a 3.4 GPA right now but my parents (dad especially) make it seem like im failing everything and will never succeed or go to college. Im so sick of them. Also, my date for a dance to whom i was really sweet and nice to continued to say bad things about me which she started a really long time ago. How do i stop this crap? Im so sick of everybody! I always get put down and never encouraged by my own parents. Wtf should i do?

Let some of it go, some girls are just plain inconsiderate and mean, not all, but a select few. Parents see where things are going before your future even comes (weird huh?), if you are working at your best on your grades, tell them you will strive to do better(At least they know your are trying your best.). 3.4 is a good GPA and your parents may be being a little hard, but it can't stay like this forever, as for your swim meet, I've been on a swim team for nine years now and I know how you feel. Don't beat yourself up, there are the good times and the bad, but you have to learn how to get back up and move on, kinda like falling and dusting off then catching up again.

So you didnt do so well at a swim meet big woop. You tried youll kick *** next time. Lemme tell you something about parents. You have good parents then you have good parents that dont know how to really be parents. What your parents are doing is using something called reverse psychology. They tell you youll never amount to anything, youll never be a good swimmer cause they think its gonna help you to try harder. Being a parent and being older doesnt make one smarter and more experienced we know this. There not saying it to hurt you there dumb and they actually think theyre helping lmfao. As for the girl screw her. find you another date to the dance. Men have power when it comes to women especially at your age. You can go up to all your guy buddies portray her as the biggest hoe at school and ruin her reputation just like that not that im trying to give you ideas. Dont stoop to her level. You need to surround yourself with more positive people.

FIRST GO TO THE LORD IN PRAYER: READ PSALMS 27.
Then as a parent your dad probably don't see that he is trying to motivate you totally in the wrong way, and also men do not know how to express there emotions in a fashionable way. All he wants is the best for you and then he might see himself in you when he was your age. PRAY ON IT,and go talk to your Dad about how he makes you feel. To your G -Friend , You have a choice about the way you let others treat you, stay away from all that negativity, If she can not help encourage you she is not the one for you, and esp: not a FRIEND!!!!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, B/C YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT ANYWAY, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE, AND LIVE IT UP TO MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY.

I am sorry your parents act that. They are wrong it does no child any good to be put down. My dad used to say," I got a B ONCE!!!" I just had to endure all that meaness until I was old enough to leave. I am 46 and a mom I treat my children the opposite to the way I was treated. It is like my parents taught me what not to do.

I am a dad myself and I understand your dad's point. he may be putting you down about your swimming skills and academics but believe me, his intentions are for you to be better. sometimes dads challenges their kids but sometimes they go overboard.
my advice to you is talk to him straight up. be a man and show him that those words are devastating to you. i am willing to bet 50 bucks, he will listen to you.
