How do I handle the pressure from my family to do well in school and to succeed in life?

Personally, in these high-stress times of school and work, I find it best to take a little time to relax each day. Maybe a hobby or activity you enjoy? It can help escape from the pressures of life. Concerts, getaways, or art are some things that take me away from life

Be your self,do what pleases you the most in life,all families want to see their offspring succeed in life, they worry about you,therefore it's normal to feel pressured by them to do well

Just do the best you can. Try to relax. As long as you do the best you can, there is nothing more anyone can reasonably expect from you. Set aside time for school work and make sure you complete any necessary homework and study. Khan Academy is a great resource if you need some assistance. Also, don't be afraid to ask your teachers questions. It's part of their job. If you're afraid to ask them during class, try to ask them before or after class or during a study hall. Make sure you get enough sleep. If you don't, you'll have a whole other set of problems.

If your behind in school, There's a method my mom taught me when I was in middle school, she called it 20:10, it's where you work hard for 20 minutes and then do what ever you want for 10. When I fall behind I don't plan on finishing it all at once, I make a plan of what I'm going to do and do my best to follow my plan. If your fealing pressured I figured out that talking to the teacher, telling them about your pressure from your parents and asking them for help is super useful and telling your parents that your stressed out about the amout of pressure put on you.

There's so many aspects of our life that we can face throughout with different emotions and responses. One of the toughest to handle can be with family and friends. From their perspective they want to raise someone who can handle life flawlessly and be prepared for the worst. They can forget that we're all human however and the pressure can be overbearing. We can't change other people, but we can change ourselves and having different mentalities/ understanding other people's position can help. If there's some calming activities when you feel overwhelmed, do them or explore! I find exercising or yoga or doing puzzles to help. It can be tough to understand why the pressure can affect you or some others so differently, but I encourage you to have a talk about what you and others can do to make sure that you can succeed in school and life. Stay safe!

Pressure from family in these matters can be really tough! Our families love us and want to see us do well, but just remember that you don't have to rush things in life to succeed, to make them happy. Do things at your own pace, and allow yourself the time, space, and mindfulness to let your life fall into place. We are constantly growing as human beings, and our lives continue to progress-- maybe you think you're not doing as well in school as you'd hope right now, but know that these things come in waves and you will get to where you need to go
