Well, my parent don't speak English either, and since we were imegrants when we came here, I'm kind of proud that I can translate for them. And my teachers always praised me for that. Although it is rather emberrasing when you are in public, but it's just that you are able to do something so many others can't, and that's speaking another language they do'nt understand.
I geuss you should just stop feeling emberrassed of it, because there really isn't much you can do. You should be proud that you can translate for your parents. There is nothing to be ashamed of from speaking 2 languages.

You should feel proud of the fact that you are doing the job as an interpreter for your Dad. Interpreters are much respected people .Your dad yells to hide his embarrassments which you should ignore.
Do not make much of the pains you are under going while getting education. Right now, millions of kids of your age are getting the same education and having the same pains. You are not an exception. On the other hand you should be grateful to your parents that they are sending you to school and preparing you for a brighter future than their own.

There's nothing to be ashamed about. :) Your dad probably doesn't mean to be an 'asshole', he just feels like he has let you down by having to rely on you for basic things. He feels like he should be the one to be helping you, not the other way around. By not recognising your help he is acting immaturely and is the only one who should be embarrased.

As for stress at school - parents never understand. Even ones who have completed school have forgotten. You have to learn to cope with the stress, because the sad truth is that school doesn't get any easier.

best of luck

Your older sister desires to get her act at the same time and comprehend that they don't look to be basically your parents yet hers too and she or he desires to take extra duty. Am 17 good now and Ive continually had to try this for my mom yet slowly they're going to commence discovering some issues right here and there and earlier you comprehend it will be on their very very own...
