is it normal and right for my parents to have so high expectations of me?

That depends on what you mean by 'high expectations'. Children are their parents' greatest treasures so it's normal that parents want their children to be the best they can possibly be. That said, if they are putting way too much stress and pressure on you, then that becomes a problem.

All parents have high expectations for their child and I think that's okay but don't let it upset you, just do your best and strive for being a better version of yourself everyday. Be good and do good. I'm sure you won't be disappointing anyone, not even yourself.

It's natural for parents to set high expectations though it can't really be justified as right or wrong. It's just an expected human feeling seeing as how they always want what's best for their children. I understand that sometimes the high expectations that they have can be stressful and suffocating ; it may even clash with your own ideals and ambitions. You can try and have a chat with them to discuss your own goals and try and tell them how you feel with the constant pressure hanging over your head. Stress can be good in some cases, but it can also cause you to underperform. Try your best, but remember that it's okay to let people down sometimes, as long as you tried your best. And keep trying your best. It's impossible to satisfy everyone. Reassure your parents that even when it seems as though you have not hit the mark they have set for you, that you are doing your absolute best. Keep in mind that everything they do is well intentioned, and that they just don't want you to make the same mistakes they did. They're just watching out for you. Appreciate that but never let it get to you or discourage you. Tell them how you feel too .

Hi there! It seems you've been feeling a little under the pressure of your parents' expectations. From personal experience, I'll say that if one's parents expect a lot from their child, that means (for the most part) that they care about their kid. A lot. However, it can be stressful trying to live up to their standards. Most parents will listen to their children if they clearly communicate what has been bothering them. Is it normal for parents to have high expectations? I don't know for sure. Is it right? Well, caring for your children is definitely right, although sometimes the way parents carry that out may not be the most effective or healthy. Hope that helps!

Parents often have high expectations of their children. Sometimes its a way of proving to themselves that they've done a good job as a parent, or even to show off/brag to others. So in terms of normal, I'd say yes. If that's right or not depends on whether it helps or harms you. Either way, I hope you find success and peace!

yes it normal, but personally i don't think its right they are just want you to do your hardest even if that means pushing you. It's not right because you can get really stressed.

Of course! They're your mom & dad. They're possibly the only two people in the world who believe you will ever exceed your own limitations and achieve greatness! I think a lot of parents have a variety of standards for their kids because they feel entitled to. and that's simply because they have raised you and have tried to give you the best quality of life they could. I think this is why a lot of the times kids feel afraid of being a utter disappointment for their parents. but in reality, you have to learn to overcome that to just simply learn to deal with life obstacles. Your parents have already lived their life. It's now your turn. Sometimes, parents are just cheering you on and just want you to do the best you can.

Absolutely, as parents they aspire for you to be the best they believe you can, even if that means pushing you in ways you don't want to be pushed.

Every parent wants the best for their kids, so yes. However, it can be stressful to live up to such expectations. If you are feeling stressed you can talk to them about this.

Yes, because parents always want the best for their kids. So it's normal that some parents have more expectations on their kids than others.
