Pressure from parents

What should I do to deal with the pressure that I am receiving from my parents because they keep expecting me to get good grades and they always think that I will be fine in my studies but what if I'm not? I always end up getting angry at them but never say anything about it but I don't want to because they are just trying to do the best for me.

Sometimes pressure from parents is a good thing, it gives you the motivation to get the best grades possible and not procrastinate in order to satisfy and please your parents. However if you are finding it a bit too overwhelming then I would speak to them about it. About some subjects your struggling with and how they could help you, e.g. proof-reading your assignments or setting up a corner/space where you can revise peacefully with no interruptions. Ensure them that you are trying your best, and that's all they can ask for.

Thank you, for the idea that they might motivate me but my teachers day I can get As and A*s for my GCSE's but I'm not to sure because I don't want to give them false hope and instead I don't do as well as the expected.

Your teachers wouldn't predict you a grade if they don't think you can achieve it. Just try your best and revise when needed. :smile:
