my fucked up academic life

my fucked up academic life

i used to be a top student. i opted for a tough exam, went to a top institute for my prep, had no fkin idea about what was going on, other kids were somehow great at it, no real guidance, lost interest in studies and any hint of confidence i had because of that. fucked up my entire grade and now my parents are absolutely haywire tryna get me back on track. that was the only thing i was recognised for- my grades. turns out my worth was tied to them, bruh. i tell them about my big dreams cuz i aint gonna give up just yet. and they hit me with "oh- you think you're gonna get there with those grades?" they make me feel like some worthless piece of shit who failed. cmon i just lost my drive and i'm trying to get it back! i have no one to talk to it's easy for me to not be mentally aware! i cant get a few minutes of rest without being taunted and called on. i almost topped the school in my prev (2nd pos) grade and guess what? "oh that's because your teacher worked hard on you." "you could've topped, y'know." i stopped trying after that, lol.

Holy fuck, congrats to you! You’ve already accomplished more than anything I’ve ever done in academics lol
Honestly, this rant is valid. It’s sounds like your parents are hella strict and unfortunately, it’s easy for people like that (especially parents) to get so caught up in things like grades and ranking that they lose sight of who they’re speaking to: another human being and their own child at that. It’s not fair to you and tbh the truth is that there’s no real solution here. You can’t really change your parents, but what you can do is keep your mental & emotional well being in check.

I’ve been in a similar enough situation where I could get an “A” on a test, but the A is because I scored a 95%. My parents would legit get mad and be like “wtf happened to the other 5%? What did you do?!” and they would make whole scene out of it.

I realized and accepted at that very moment that they will never be happy with me unless I’m constantly meeting their unhealthy standard of perfection and it’s just that— UNHEALTHY. Parents don’t realize how badly this type of shit can fuck up their kids well being. I’m from the US, but my parents are from two different countries in Asia and in one of them, there’s a whole problem of people either “offing themselves” because the pressure to be perfect is too high to reach or maintain or more recently, people (specifically guys) have been straight up killing their own families because the pressure and the constant shaming for not going to a good university and then not getting an amazing job really fucked them up and made them basically go crazy.

Those examples are extreme though, but my point is that from my own experience of having parents like this, you have to accept the situation is something that’s outside of your control (can’t change how your parents are), but you can control yourself which I think you’re already doing tbf (like accepting you’re not perfect and you’re just going through a rough period in life, but it’s not the end of everything).

You just gotta stay strong, always remember that everyone goes through a slump in their life (if not, multiple) and that shit is completely normal. It’s annoying, but just focus on you. Have your plan for you come back lol And yeah, keep your head up. I’m sorry your parents are like that. I genuinely sympathize with you, but for what it’s worth, I’m amazed by your accomplishments. You sound like such a smart, but also very grounded person. I think you’re gonna be fine. Your parents are just trippin out, but it’s whatever. Just brush it off and keep moving. Good luck to you.
