QUOTE I don't have that much pressure, because my brother screwed up his academic situation which takes the focus off of me. Although, I think I might do exactly what my brother did =[ My situation is almost the exact same as yours. except i still have a little bit of pressure. But I want to get into a college like princeton and such, so i think the pressure is good for me. |

no direct pressure. it's all implied. expectations, etc.
my parents tell me stories about suicidal MIT kids. it's not very encouraging. |

My parents don't like B's (or C's, D's and F's). The thing is, if I get a B in English 1 Honors, they wouldn't be that upset because my sister got a B in the same class with the same (evil) teacher. But if I got a B in Biology they'd probably be more upset because my sister did pretty well in biology (got a special award, majored in biochemistry in college, etc.). It's not like my sister and I are the same person... argh.

bleh its big on me too. almost all of them were validictorians or watevas. my family is a bunch of nerds who study too much and didnt/dont have a life -_-. for some reason about 3/4 of my mom's side works in the medical field.

I have an understanding family.
They are not giving me pressure. So I can be whoever I want to be.
