Why are my parents putting so much pressure on me?

Parents want to see their children do well in life. They strive to impart lessons and address shortcomings that they may have experienced in their own lives in hopes that we will succeed and prosper. At the same time, parents aren't perfect. Their intentions can feel smothering and have negative effects on our lives. Grades and material success (a well-paying job, etc.) often seem like they take precedence over our own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Your parents want you to be successful in life. They are your parents they don't want anything bad for you. If you think the pressure I'd putting a negative impact on you, just openly communicate with them :). I'm sure they will understand you :)

There can be many reasons why they are doing so: 1) They are probably are looking out for you, to make sure you do and achieve the best that you can, this is normally the case, especially with my parents haha. 2) It may be a very important time for you. Sometimes parents feel its necessary if its an extremely important part of life, to make sure you try your hardest. 3) they may never have tried hard and lost out on opportunities. many parents do this because they know the consequences or are trying to make sure the same doesn't happen to you, again looking out for you. 4) or they could de doing so because they are having a lot of stress at work or at home: this can cause them to make you feel pressured I would think about maybe asking them you can't cope with the stress or ask them why and that you feel its making you miserable, they may answer and tell you the actual answer :) I hope this helped a lot! Have a good week! Good luck x

Grades mean uni, uni means jobs, jobs mean money, money means stability, stability means family, family means a lot, to our parents.

Some people think that parents put pressure on there kids to do good in school so they can get a job

Because they want the best for you. 10 -20 years down the lane,when you're a parent yourself,is perhaps when you'll understand everything better....

They may not know the pressure they are putting on you. And if they are aware then they just want what's best for you. They don't wanna see you go down the wrong path. Try telling them what's on your mind and how they are making you feel. Make sure to let them know you're only one person that can do so much.

People believe you can be doing so much better. They have high expectations because they believe in you.

parents only want the best for you, sometimes they can be really over baring and it might not seem that way but they wont be like that forever (hopefully) haha

Your parents are most likely putting pressure on you because they want you to succeed. Most of the time it’s because they didn’t have the opportunities to do so. There are other reasons as to why your parents put pressure on you but rarely is it because they don’t like you. If you ever find that the pressure put on you by your parents is too much, you might need to talk to them and tell them what’s going through your mind. I know that this is a difficult position to be in, but it does get better. I promise
