Why are my parents putting so much pressure on me?

A parents job is to push you to succeed and prepare you for life. When they put pressure on you, they are just showing you that they know you are capable of greatness. It can be stressful if applied incorrectly, but I am sure that they just want you to be the best "you" that you can be.

you're parents most likely just know that you can do great, and they want good things for you. but sometimes they might not realize the pressure can be more hindering than helpful.

Well, they want you to have a bright future and be successful, parents are in this world to help us, lead us to the right path and encourage us so they do that to make us successful and without them we would be nothing so the pressure that they put on you is a good thing and it is better than being nothing. You also have to be thankful because some parents never care about their kids even if they are so successful. The pressure they put on you is the way to make them feel proud of you:)

Your parents are probably putting pressure on you because they believe that you can do it. No matter what it is they probably believe that you can do a lot, so they want you to succeed.

They want you to be happy and to succeed in life. Your parents only want what's best for you even though it may feel not like that

Sometimes, a parent wants to push a child into a direction that the parent thinks is best for the child. Parents want the best for their children. They want them to be successful, maybe more successful than they are. To be successful they want their children to study hard, be good at school, spend time with the people they think influence them in the best way. That can be tough sometimes. My Parents used to push me into directions i didn't want to go and it can be frustrating and tough to deal with. As I'm a grownup right now, i don't think it was good or bad what they did. I understand they wanted the best for me, to be successful. I think the tough journey was worth the experience i gained from it even though i didn't go the path they wanted me to. They are not mad at me at all, they are glad i found what suits me best. I took it as a challenge that formed me.

A lot of the time, the reasons parents put pressure on you is because they care for you and want what is best for you (cliché, but true). However, parents aren't always the best at delivering their full thoughts and feelings to you because they've never had someone do the same for them. And taking things in consideration from their end, parents always want to their children to do better than they have in life and those feelings can really charge their emotions and make them act strictly. The best way to avoid feeling that pressure from them is through action. Show them that you can make it on your own and show them that you have what it takes to excel and succeed.
