Weight on my shoulders

Sometimes I think that I'll never get a break, too afraid of failing. I'm a gifted student, so I don't want to disappoint my parents who work hard for me. Not to mention the stigmas attached to me. I just want to relax and act like a teenager ever once in a while, but I have so very little time. I have to do well in school because I'm expected that I can't fail or struggle. It's just a lot on my plate.

@Melancholia2000 Hey there! It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of stress from all the pressure you're under right now, which is totally understandable. I know how you feel about the grades and not wanting to let your parents down, its tough for sure. I just wanted to let you know that I know its really hard, and that I totally get that sometimes you'd rather not have to put up with it all. You've got a lot on your plate indeed, but I think you're doing awesomely. Its hard to reach out, and its awesome you've reached out for support here, especially as its really important to take care of yourself first. I hope all goes well for you heart Best of luck to you
