parents Options

My mom expects me to be the best at everything (well mostly in school work and whatever) and when I can't she says some really mean things that make me feel horrible. Like today, I was writing something and she told me that my handwriting was really nasty and that if I don't learn how to write better I could neer get a job and no one would respect me and things like that. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but it hurts and i just don't want her to keep saying stuff like that. I just don't know what to do

my parents are the same. they expect me to be great at everything and are extremely dissappointed when i don't fulfill THEIR goals. for me, i just ignore what they say and continue doing my own thing. my parents and i aren't very close, so i guess it doesn't really affect our relations in any way.

but if you are close to your mom or dad, i suggest talking to them and telling them that you're trying you're very best. and that the more they yell, the more it discourages you. tell them that you understand they just want the best for you, but yelling at you and making you feel like crap will not make things better.

hope things get better for you~
