Why to they always assume everything?!?

Question

My parents [mostly my mom] assume EVERYTHING wrong about me. It's sickening. Ok, like 1 month ago I got a prgress report from school in the mail. I was failing two classes. Now, a month later, and closer to the end of the semester, I have a D in [math] and almost a B in my other class. To my mom, that's not good enough. She and everyone else in my family just assumes I "don't want to pass high school" [I'm in 10th]. I swear they've all formed a conspiracy against me being that all they say is "you need to try harder" when I do. I've actually changed my study habits quite a bit in that I'm doing my HW and actually getting passing grades on tests and paying attention in class. I'm actually very proud of myself that I have a D in math becuase though it's no A, I know that going from an F to a D is an improvement, is it not? I'm trying am I not? They don't see that. They just see ways to make that D into a C instead of aknowledging I'm doing better. I feel unpraised..

Answer 1

Every parent is worried about their children's future. They want you to do better because they hope that you will have a bright future later on.

However, seeing that you have urged yourself to do better, talk to your parents about how you feel about being pressured too much. Make sure that they understand that you do want to pass highschool, and you are trying your best.

A suggestion from me to you is for you to get extra help from a tutor or a teacher. If you try, you'll succeed! Keep up your positive attitude, and you'll soar in no time =)

Answer 2

Tell them that you can get a higher score on the GED, because they test at an eight grade level. If you're grades aren't good enough for them, you can get an "A" right now on the GED.

That statement should make them realize that being hard on you without acknowledging your acheivements isn't going to make you improve. It's going to make you feel like nothing is good enough, so why try?

They may have a better idea of what you're going through. Also, you may want to put it to them like this: What if THEY had a job that they were giving 100% of their efforts to, only to find that there was no room for advancement in the long run? Would they be willing to try as hard, when the rewards are the same as they would be for a bad employee?

That may put things into perspective for them.

Answer 3

ok, sweetie, first, maybe if they're all saying the same thing that, "you're not trying hard enough" then maybe it's true, and perhaps you should apply what your family says, to your own life. Try the hardest you can, don't just barely get by. It's great that you improved, but why not aim for a B? take a few minutes to celebrate your improvement then aim higher. And if you're actually paying attention in class and applying what you learn in to your homework, then you probably wouldn't be getting a D. I hope this helped you, and just another thing. when you and your mother are talking, speak in an even, interested, gentle vioce, and act like you actually wanna here her. God Bless:)

Answer 4

Have you tried having a heart to heart with them explain how you feel about what they are saying and let them know you are honestly trying but them showing a little support might be helpful instead of constant critasizm.And if that doesnt work well as long as you are honest with yourself and you know you are trying your best than just keep doing what your doing hopefully they will come around .Keep up the good work.

Answer 5

I hate school for makeing grades.
I'm an A/B student and I got a C, my mom called me an Fing B and hit me in the head a couple of time.
Considering she got straight F's and D's when she was in school, I have no clue why she dose this.

Yeah, whatever happened to "good job for trying!"

Answer 6

I'm sorry your parents don't acknowledge your improvement, I agree that going up a whole letter grade definitely qualifies as doing better. Since your parents won't praise you, I will: Way to go!

Answer 10

Your parents are not assuming. They just want you to do your best. It is GREAT you pulled your math grade up. Math can be challenging (as are other subject areas). Continue to do your best and I GUARANTEE you get praised. Don't give up. YOU CAN DO IT!!
