I feel stupid. Maybe this whole being intelligent thing isn’t for me. Everyone in my family is smart, so that means there is a chance I am just stupid right? Maybe if parents understood how depressed I feel than they wouldn’t say these things to me, like “don’t you understand college will be 10x harder, or why are you taking those classes you’re never going to do well in them”. I think the real problem is I carry more on my shoulders than they think, so they should just back of. If they weren’t so on top of me, and making me feel like sh*t all the time, maybe JUST MAYBE I’d do a lot more things correctly. I wouldn’t be the disappointment they classify me as, but maybe I always will be. I don’t really want to continue on if that’s all I will ever be. Maybe my mom was right and I should focus more on important things in my life… The most important thing to me is trying not to drown in this ice pond even though I am slowly starting to fall in.

Stop worrying what everyone else thinks. Parents are supposed to put pressure on their kids and it sucks. My sister was always smarter, more athletic, more popular and my mom never let me forget it a day in my life. Once you start to do things for you, you’ll succeed and the ice pond you think you’re going to drown in will melt and you’ll be swimming in the warm waters of happiness (wow that was really corny sorry )
I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Some parents just think if they keep pushing and stressing you, you’ll suddenly do everything better. Never understood that.
Don’t worry or listen too much to what they say, it’s the only way to deal with that.
You’re not stupid, you’re not a disappointment.
Just do things at your own pace.
Do the best you can and aim for the grades YOU want.
thank you
