I’m a 15 year old sophomore. I’m in an advanced program at school where you take honors math and science every year, and on top of that, I run cross country. And to add even more to that list, I’m attempting to write a book, because I’ve got nothing else to do with my free time. I currently have a D in honors algebra 2, a B in honors physics, and A’s in all my other classes. But my parents say I’m not trying hard enough, even though I am. So while I’m attempting to keep my grades afloat, my parents expect me to run really fast. And on top of all this, they expect me to be a perfect human being that is always active and willing to (happily) help whenever needed, even if it’s in the middle of homework. Am I under too much pressure? I feel like my head is about to burst.
