My parents have unrealistic expectations of me. They put so much pressure on me to do well in school that it's almost impossible for me to succeed and I am sure to disappoint them. Its a lot of stress for me.

Nothing is impossible 😊 when backed into a corner think and function for yourself. In the end when everything is said and done you’ll only have yourself and those who to choose to be around. Do what benefits you and no one else because there is no such thing as living forever. You are your parents child they only want what’s best for you and only you.

You have to eventually follow the path which suits you. The main thing is that you will never please everyone, only yourself.

I understand that parents want you to do well in school because the competition is tough and everyone wants to score goods marks to get into a good college. I am sure your parents want the best of you. I know it's stressful not meeting their expectations but don't let the pressure get the best of you. Work hard in school and show your parents that at least you tried your best! :)

It's okay to feel nervous when encountering another's expectations for you. Do not feel angry/upset with yourself for feeling irritated by their expectations. An important thing to consider here, is what do you want? Do you want to do well in school? If so, do you feel like their expectations are amping up your own? Regardless, do your best and calm yourself, by remembering to accept yourself no matter your outcome. Seek out tutoring help or whatever you need, to help you do your best. Remember, being confused about a school topic does not mean you are unintelligent or foolish... even Einstein struggled with mathematics. Make room for human error and stay calm. 💖
