How to deal with parents
So i got a couple of tests back from different classes and it turns out that i did really bad, and my teacher now wants me to get that test signed and if i show this to my parents im going get lectured screamed at. And also im a be treated like garbage for like 1 month non stop. How do i make my parents understand that im trying my best?
If this matters Im in grade 11

@DrHye
I currently have a tutor and study at lunch with friends. Well i guess thats all i caan do at the moment hopefully ill start doing better and achieve my goal of 85% average this year
@pokemon744: Just ignore them lol. Forget what they're saying and focus on school, set goals for yourself and maybe find some friends to study with or get a tutor, etc

I dont play any games on the weekdays but the constant yelling that my parents do puts even more pressure on me. Like every little thing they have a problem with i get yelled at even if i didn't do it
@pokemon744: When it comes down to it, you don't need to convince your parents that you'll do better. Just actually do better, and then show them with the results of your work. No point complaining about a hard semester either, it's not like it'll get easier along the road
Don't mean to sound angry, but yeah. You just gotta push yourself. Don't compare how long you're studying with anything else, just study as much as it takes.
And if you're playing maple or other video games, take an extended vacation from 'em. Play only on weekends or just not at all until you have longer school breaks.
Kill your parents.

I tell them everything and say that i know this is not good enough and ill try harder next time but they dont understand i have so much stress cause of them and on top of that i have a hard semester so it just makes it worse
At that point, hardly anyone cares that you try hard. They only care how well you do. If trying your best isn't good enough, you need to improve your best
Just be honest with 'em and get through it.
