Parents will never let on that they're satisfied with your report from school because if they expect more from you, then you will expect more from yourself.

doh think so. I never stress myself out over marks, is either ah pass or not.
Besides, ah only fail lit.

curious!

I was never pressured - once I was above pass mark then everything was okay, my mom was the more understanding one - especially when it came to maths - a subject we both loathe! So the onus was up to me to excel academically - and to make my parents proud! And I did (or at least I hope so)

Humans only grow when pushed, and often times it takes a lot of pushing.

I know its hard but your parents love you and are just trying to do what they think is best. THeir is a lot of pressures on parents these days too. Just remember they love you and want you to turn into the best adult you can be. I know it seems unresoanable now, but in time you will understand.

they must know you're really smart to push like that. just remember the better you do at school and at making it through parents rules, really does help you later in life. not necessarily the content, but the discipline and commitment and knowing you can do better.
