Not good enough,

Feeling quite rubbish today, My mum and dad were in the room nearby and they were talking quite loudly, I stood outside the door and listened in, They were basically saying how low their expectations are of me, How im not going to get into the college I want to go to by the look of my estimated grades which are mainly b’s, 2 a’s and about 2 c’s. Which are all passes, and I was really happy with (as teachers say we will probs go up by a grade in actual exams), I really want to make something of myself, and go to uni, which I heard them say I wont get into uni. I thought they had higher expectations of me, I new they wernt as proud of me as they are my sister whos 18, really smart and going to uni soon after her gap year. I hate being this younger dissapointment. I try as hard as I can, and I feel so low right now. I have an exam on wednesday which I’ve spent time revising on, im not naturally smart but I try my best, now I feel like im not good enough and struggeling to even bother anymore. Should I talk to them? Or leave it, I dont know what to do with anything, all I think about it how rubbish my future could be. Help, x

Answer #1

I say talk to them. As a parent - I would want my child to come to me with their concerns and things that are bothering them. They may not even realize how this is making you feel and if you talk to them about it - it could change things for the better. They sound like they are holding you to your sisters standards and not your own - talk to them in a calm mature tone and tell them how it’s affecting you and making you feel. Any parent that realizes that they upset their child that much - would try and make things better. Just do your best - and behappy with yourself.
