The thing about Asian parents...

 

so instead of my normal blogs, this one will be way more boring serious

 

So I guess I just wanna let this out of me

so a few days ago I got my report card and I got all A's but two B's

I didn't show it to my parents because they never ask for it and stuff but today my dad checked his e-mail and my school sent out e-mails for parents telling them that report cards are out you know and my dad ask for it.

I didn't want to show it to them because I know they're gonna freak out about the two B's -.-

they did btw and we ended up having this huge fight and stuff...

like I don't understand why they have such high standards about everything like I HAVE to get straight A's and GOT TO know and be good at everything.

They thinks that B's are bad T^T

my friends' parents are fine with them with A's and B's while the only grade that my parents think is good is A.

I've been getting a lot of pressure with school lately. If i get lower than a B in my math class then I'll have to retake the course again, which I don't want to. (plus I need to pass the final test at the end of the year which include all the things that we learned, the problem is that  i don't have a very good memory)

I just...don't know anymore. I feel like im falling into one of those teenage 'depressing' times...

any helpful advice?

I know exactly how you feel.

Accounting is my weakest subject, and I KNOW I can't get an A in it. And Lit..well, almost no one can get an A. When I was in school, I always warn them. Or tell them 'fake' averages / highest marks. XD

But..don't fall into depression, yeah? It will you in like an endless hole. It will be hard to get out, if you fall.

i think B isn't a bad grade atleast you don't have F right? they should be contented to A and B coz you did your best to get it. They should be mad if you have F but there's none so i don't think it's a huge problem just tell them you gave your best and they should be contented to it.

Ahhh those annoying moments..of course our parents are expecting a higher expectations and luckily you're not in college..an advice for you is always do your best and having short term memory loss is what you can say a bad thing but what can help you is try your best to be open minded and try to drift tour weakness in your mind like a formula..try to memorize a formula..if not, try to solve a puzzle game cause that actually help you solve and remember what piece to put where..

I think getting B's is amazing, but, I guess that's just me because I'm not very smart.
My advice would be just do your best, because honestly, that's all you can do. You can't force yourself to be better, but if you do the best you can, it'll show in your results. Good luck, I hope you're parent's realize that you're obviously an extremely smart person. I mean, if I had marks like that, my parents would have a celebration. So, just keep trying, cause you're obviously doing something right. Fighting ^^
Sorry if it's not the best advice, I'm only in grade 9 ._.

I'm the same!! My parents don't stop nagging! I hav memory cards to learn but just with the important stuff. To be honest I'm too lazy and trust my luck...

Same situation here! I got all As except for my biology and my parents went berserk over it :(((

Advice? Just try your best to achieve your full potential and ultimately even if they want you to do better you have already reached your maximum and that's the maximum. Maybe your courses are not of your interest that's why :3 but so long as you feel that you did your best then nothing else matters cos ultimately it's your results not their so they have no say about it and they are not the ones who will be able to truly boast about the results, which I honestly think is very good already :)

Well depending on if your in High School or in Middle School (Junior High... If your in High School they have a partcial right to say that... Because, colleges only look at your High School grades and they only want the best for you. So try hard to get A's. If your in Junior High, just try and please them... Yeah, grades are pressuring, but maybe see yourself in their shoes. Ask them why they believe that B's aren't good enough. Try and work it out. Trust me, I'm at where you are right now. I haven't got a good job from my mother since last year. And she still complained about my one A-...And i'm only in Junior High (just cant wait for high school. yay.), and I cant get a good job. ;.;

My parents are always like that. Set a goal for yourself. If you're doing bad on tests, then tell yourself to study for at least an hour before doing anything else. If it's homework (like me) make sure you check the problems over and over again just to see if you made mistakes. In the math book at the very back there is usually an answer key for all the odd problems. And if your parents want you to get good grades then say "Since you want me to get good grades, can you guys at least try to help me study?" Don't be afraid to ask!
If you're really struggling then ask your teacher for help. But I don't think you are because you're only getting a B so that's fine~
GURL IF YOU START GETTING DEPRESSED AND START THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE DON'T. GO TO A TEACHER TELL YOUR PARENTS TELL YOUR FRIENDS TELL SOMEONE. Even if it's just a blog post on here just show it to your parents if you don't have the strength to say it in front of them.....
Heck if you're so annoyed by them when they bother you about your grades show them this blog post.

My parents are like that too...If I get lower that A in the major subjects like Math and Science and stuff...they'll take away my computer. Just tell your parents that B is okay...It's not like you've got a C or something lower than that. Or you can tell them you'll try harder next time?
