OMG teachers ALWAYS write good stuff/ compliment you so you don't get discouraged.. well now i think about it, my parents are the ones who actually do the discourage job. |

Yes, my dad in a good way says how much better I am than my cousins and other kids my age, but my mom always compares me to my smart chinese cousins who get 100 in math, nad I'm a really bad math student so it makes me feel dumb, especially when my brother is so smart and gets good averages and always get prasied when my family meets for dinner and then it's just like, yea hes so great and then I'm, "ehh doing alright". Grr I hate it

it's weird cause sometimes they do .. like.. "why can't you be like him ! straight A's !" and then when i want to do something they're like "don't go just because they're going "
