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

I think that most of the parents have quite normal expectations. Sometimes they want to keep you busy to prevent you from getting addicted to alcohol, drugs or other stuff. Naturally, we, as teenagers, think the expectations are extremely high, but now, when I look back, I see that their "high" expectations made me the person I am now :) Yes, there are parents that have higher expectations than they should have, but most of the time the best solution is to talk to them about it or visiting a psychologist with your family is a great solution too, since the psychologist is neutral and can tell whether it's only you thinking they have extraordinary expectations or they actually do have them.

Parents just want whats best for their kids. We are old and have made our own mistakes and don't want our kids to make the same mistakes, or any. Its hard for a parent to let go and just let our kids get hurt. So what looks like high expectations may just be a parent whos struggling to let their child go.

It is normal but not always right for parents to have high expectations for you. Normal because every parent only wants the best for their child, they try to guide their children and lead them in the right direction but in the end it is up to the child to work hard and build a good future for themselves so some parents can be strict or very pushy to try and get their child to work hard. Some people do well with the pressure and achieve their goals, other people can feel suffocated and can't take the pressure which impacts the person in a negative way no matter how loving and good their parents intentions are.

Most parents have high expectations for their kids and I think that its vary normal. However if you start to feel under to much pressure you might want to talk to someone.

well i think all parents have dreams and wishes to see their children successful and happy but on the other hand one cannot ignore individuality. You are what they are not and you are in your shoes so you can better see what the situation is, It is good to discuss problems and ask solution from parents as they are more experienced and know ups and downs of life. But if you think your parents expects you to be someone you are not or do something that you cannot do and does not interests you, better think twice before doing that. Like some parents want their child to be a doctor but he or she has germs to be an artist so one should go after his or her dream for sure, because sometimes it is about your life. Sometimes you have to sail your own boat. Keep an eye and listen to everyone but the moment you feel its not your thing think before you follow something blindly.

Parent normally have high expectations from their children because they see and appreciate the potentials they see in you. If you feel pressured though because of their expectations, talk to them and open up to them what your feelings are regarding these expectations. It will give them not only your point of view but also from your talk they will get a better idea of what kind of family support you would need to achieve your goals and your dreams.

Yes its is but that also shouldn t let them make you live under pressure to follow up their expectations because you re an individual you can fall at anytime but it ll be pleasing for you and your parents of you just never stop getting up to reach out to the top!

Yes it is normal for parents to have high expectations. You are their kin and they want you to have the world so they set these high expectations, cause they know you can do it. And they want you to do it.

They, more than having, they're desiring for you to follow whichever plans they have for you. They already lived through your age and they probably know a lot about what expects you in your life so, yes, it's perfectly normal they hope you're the best around. But again, that's a desire more than a fact. Who decides on this, is you.

It is definitely normal but right...that depends. If it is something you're capable of then sure it's okay, they're just trying to push you to achieve your potential, if you're not, which is not a bad thing at all, then its wrong because they're just putting unnecessary pressure on you.
