Re: Pressure From Parents
My ex-girlfriend has parents like yours, and she is a smart girl - but her parents constant "you're not good enough" gets to her and she starts to think she's stupid. Her attitude towards school kinda saddens me, as she has so much potential yet does not believe in herself to do so. She's in your grade, so I can't provide as to how she's going/went in the HSC.
Don't fall into this trap though, as long as YOU are happy with how you go, you shouldn't worry AT ALL about how people think.
My motivation for school at the moment is not letting my parents down, but myself down- for not trying when I had the chance to.
At least you're educated enough to know that.lyounamu said:I reckon you are right. She needs to understand that things don't work like that in Australia.
