What do I do when my parent's push me so hard to do exactly the same as my sister. I know for a fact that im not a straight A student. My sister on the other had, is a straight A student. My parent's are pushing me so hard to do well in sports, and in academic's. I am definatly not as smart as my sister. I am working to my breaking point and still get C-'s on my report cards. I cant take it. And in sports, I hate them. I know I am not the sporty type. I am into heavy metal music, and playing and teaching music. Its what I like. But how do I tell my parent's that Its the best I can do? The last time I tried, My mom screamed at me. She think's she know's, but really she doesn't so how do I make a statement?

I would suggest that you print a copy of this page and sit down with your parents and discuss this matter openly with them. I would like to think they have your best interest at heart and they love you very much. As a parent I know there are times that I come across in a negative way to my children without realizing it. Hopefully they will see that you are struggling to please THEM because you love them....but remember you are growing up and need to be true to yourself as well. I urge you to stay on the straight and narrow, do your best in school and find things in life that you not only enjoy but are good at.
You are still young....get a good foundation and give everything your best and you will do fine
Best of luck to you ~~

I'm indifferent to the sports stuff too. Some people learn differently, and I would suggest the sylvan center to help you with your acedemics though. Have a quiet talk with your mom/parents. Tell her/them while you like your sister, you're an individual that needs just as much love and apprecitation as your sister. Quietly try to get your mom/parents to admit you're not a slacker, that you work hard, and that you're a good person. I wish you the best

Yes you are as smart as your sister,but maybe the sports and academics are not for you,you may want to do something else and don't know what it is at this time.Parents should slack off on you a bit,give you time to work at your own pace.

Write to her a letter. But try a different method parent's HATE it when they know there wrong about something. So tell your that you want to stop trying for sports because you don't want to. And isnside you want to play music. Even teach it.Make sure she understands tough that you value her opion on the matter

stay strong and explain to your paren't's that you arent your sister. tell them out what your interests are and ask for their support. if you're truly enthusiastic about music then go for it. don't let anyone tell you that you cant succeed in something you're passionate about. not even your parents. but keep in mind you still need to do good in school, education is extremely important. be true to yourself. your parents love you but sometimes parents get caught up in making their kids pay for their own mistakes in life or try to live vicariously through them. regardless of which, they only want what they think is best for you.

It's not right that your parents are pushing you so hard that you can't keep up with. You should try talking to your dad instead of your mom.

confide your problem to someone close to your mom and ask her help in explaining how you feel. maybe your sister can also help.
