My dad is really strict about my grades. I try REALLY hard but he gets mad at me if I get one bad grade.?

Question

If i get one bad grade, he gets pissed! What should I do? I try super hard and I just got all A's but he still gets mad at one bad grade.

Answer 1

that's very sad, he shouldn't put you under so much pressure, if you are satisfied that you did your best, and are happy with the grades you got ,it's him with the problem, not you. tell him he is expecting too much of you,and putting you under too much pressure, which in itself will make you fail. one can only do what one's brain will allow, on the other hand he may have done badly at school and is dissatisfied with his own life and wants better for you, there are 2 sides to every coin.

Answer 2

Congratulations on a perfect score! good for you, girl.

Please understand that your dad is concerned that poor grades can prevent you from getting into a good university - and sadly, he has a point, BTW. Competition to get into a good program is so stiff that entrance committees look back to even junior high school grades and community service nowadays. Tough. He truly wants the best for you - but may have an uptight way of showing it.

One way of easing up on your dad is to involve him in your studies. Ask him to set aside time every day to go over your homework with you and yes, ask for his help - especially those subjects where you have the most challenges. At least that way you'll be sure he at least knows you aren't slacking.

And the father/daughter time can be a way of "bonding" to use a lame phrase. You'll have an opportunity to get closer than perhaps you are now.

Good luck - and good job!

i think you should just listen to your father, he probably know what is best for you! But here are some ways *Analyze your own behavior. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Sometimes the parents' actions are a result of something you have done. If a change in your own behavior can help the situation, start making adjustments. *Explain how you feel. Frank conversation with your parents can help alleviate a tense situation. List any incidents that demonstrates how your parents have acted too strictly and refer to it during the talk. Stay cordial, not confrontational. Levelheaded conversation can solve more problems than intense arguments. Most of the time it helps just to do what they say and then speak with them in a calm reasonable manner! Hope this helps!

Sit down with your dad and ask him right out what he expects from you.. tell him you are trying your best and show him what you are doing, even ask for his help if you have a subject that you find hard.. don't forget to ask teachers too, they love to know you are interested and most will make time to help you.
I hope this helps.. and gl...
