The first semester is gone- and since I came back from vacation, my mom had put me in GT- Gifted and Talented.
First: it's really awkward. Second: I miss my old schedule, and I left all my friends in my other classes. Third: it's too much pressure.
Social Studies, Science, Language Arts- they're easy. Problem's Math. I'm not exactly a math whiz, but I'm not bad at it either. I'm learning all this new stuff, with a packet of work I have to do and such. But what now? I'm really tired, I can hardly keep my eyes open.
But I want to please my parents. They've been so tired lately, I don't want to pressure them. They ask every day how GT is going, I just put on a fake smile and say it's going great. They beam happily and tell me to keep up the good work.
What should I do?

Your parents shouldn't put total control on you if you don't like it! Tell them how you feel, but say it as nice as you can. Plan what you're going to say, that's what I do when I have a problem with someone else. (Which I do, quite a lot, because I am extremely sensitive.)

I am so, so sorry-- this can be a rough drawback! Unfortunately, I can not suppose of some way out of this drawback that is going to be an handy, completely satisfied one within the brief run! As a 26-12 months ancient married girl, I'd say that you're ancient sufficient to have a boyfriend and ancient sufficient to be in a position to depart your condo in case you wish to and not using a large, dramatic battle. As indignant and worn out as you will be, I suppose that is what you must do. I suppose you must inform your mum and dad you have to talk with them, and it is very fundamental. Sit down with them and provide an explanation for that whilst you comprehend you reside underneath their roof, you like them, recognize them, and wish to delight them; you think you're ancient sufficient to have a boyfriend at 18 years ancient. Explain that you simply could be completely satisfied to introduce him to them, and have to be in a position to have this aspect of your existence with out all of the combating. If they argue, ask them questions approximately their perspectives. Ask them what age they think IS suitable to have a boyfriend in the event that they think you are not in a position? Have motives all set as to why you disagree and why you're mature sufficient to manage having a boyfriend. Your BEST guess is to be mature by way of the dialog, and check out to not push their buttons or be dramatic. The quickest option to disprove your "I"m mature" arguement could be to bawl uncontroabbly that they're ruining your existence, for illustration!! :) Even if the dialog appears to be going good, they could want time to suppose approximately the whole lot. Feel unfastened to inform them they may be able to suppose approximately what you've gotten stated and mean you can understand how they think later, in the event that they wish to talk about it. It feels like your boyfriend has been very sufferer!! Good success, desire this helped!

You are getting burned out, which won't help your grades any. Sit your parents down and explain to them you don't want to let them down, but you just aren't ready for the pressures of the gifted and talented courses.
Tell them how tired and exhausted you are just trying to keep up with the daily schedule. They will understand, after all they are your parents and they love you and want what's best for you.
Good luck.

is there anyway you can drop to a different math class that is not so rough, and yet stay in the rest of the gifted classes------maybe that you take out some of the stress and help you not be so tired.

Tell them how you feel. They need to know. Can you talk to a school counselor and ask them to talk to your parents?

try answering honestly, until you do, nothing is going to change at all. try to understand they only want you to do well in life, but it sounds to me like you are pushing yourself too far.
i encourage my kids to do as well as they can, but i don't push beyond what i know they can do.
