ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

My parents only care about good grades


 
All my parents care about are grades. Last report card, I got a C in math. I thought they were going to kill me. Whenever I try to talk to them about how I feel, they yell at me. My mom is not as bad as my dad. I know they care about my education, but they hurt my feelings.

Dear Sick of It,
If you want to tell them how you feel but can’t do it in a conversation, write it in a note. Did you get a good grade they forgot to praise? Say so. Tell them you want to hear when they’re proud, not just when they’re disappointed. But remember that they care about your education because they care about you and your future.

Might it help if you got a math tutor? Maybe a high school student can bring you up to speed over the summer, without charging too much. Your math teacher or guidance counselor can probably recommend someone. It is hard to excel in school when you feel pressure on all sides. But psych yourself up now for getting off to a strong start in September. Plan to move up to the front row, keep an organized assignment pad, find a quiet place to work, do your best, and your grades will go up, guaranteed. Not only will your parents be pleased, but you’ll feel good about it too.

I have been so stressed lately with school. So much homework,tests, quizzes and exams. I stayed home sick yesterday and i was fine with it because it was a field trip day so i didnt miss anything. BUt them last nihgt i was up till around 3 in the morning becuase i was thinking about all the stuff coming up. ihave volleyball tryouts for high school, a huge algebra test, and exams. SO i missed school today too becase i wasnt completly over this cold and i was SO tired(only got 3 hours of sleep) BUt i was up crying all night obsessing over my grades. HOw do i stop my worrying ?

 

Hey Babe! You just need to take a deep breath and live in the moment! You can't worry about the upcoming days. Just focus on what you have to get done for the day and not the work you will have in the future. I know this is hard, but if you can do this then your stress level will go down and you will get more sleep! Sleep is very very important. So close those eyes and try and tune out all of your thoughts. The more rest you get the better the next day will be!

My bff told me she hates me just because I asked her if she was wearing a cami! Idk wut the heck hapened. I tried to talk to her about it and she just keeps saying "I just don't like u anymore" she really hurt my feelings and I don't no what happened. What should I do!!!!!'

 

Hey Girlie. You need to make your BFF sit down with you and explain why she is so upset! You can't fix the problem without taking. Try to talk it out again and if she will not talk to you about it then you need to give her time to cool down. Maybe she is having problems at home or something else is bothering her and she is taking it out on you. If she is really your BFF then you two will make amends soon! Keep your head up!
