My dad makes me feel bad about my grades?
In gcse, I was targeted bs and cs and I got 3 a's 5 b's and 2 c's, which is better than what he got. Now in a level it's a lot harder and I got a C in a recent exam I did I'm biology and he basically said that wasn't good enough and all this but I studied so hard for that exam? All the time he tells me how he's expecting these amazin grades whic he knows I'm not capable of making me feel bad about myself he didn't even do that well in a level! Why does he do this and what should I say when he does it

Most parents are keen for their children to achieve high grades, purely because they know how important high grades are in this day and age.
You can only try your best to accomplish the targets, but you need to be aware that parents watch for reasons why grades are not met. They will watch to see if you study enough, whether or not your friends distract you, and whether or not you are having too many late nights doing other things.
Although life is NOT all work and no play, you need to be seen to strike a reasonable balance.

Whats up, don't suppose unhealthy. B+ is really good. I am asian, and.. You might of heard this before. However asian dad and mom are strict and they anticipate STRAIGHT A's from their kids. Quite often assume us, kids, to be superb.. After we're really no longer. Appear, do not suppose bad about your self, You tried your exceptional, that's all that issues. Your dad and mom do want you to be successful and so they do love you, however repeatedly they simply.. Go overboard and anticipate so much from us. Just hold doing all of your nice. :)

He probably just wants the best for you but he has to understand that sometimes its hard and inposdible to get a good grade. Tell him you worked so hard and that your not capable of it. No ones perfect. I failed my first college course and im retaking the course all over again.

Tell him you're putting forth full effort to achieve your grades...If there is any extra credit you can do, you should...However, do not bring up that you are getting better grades than he did, he will not take that well...My parents berated me about my grades too, but that was because I would get B's and C's, when they knew I should be getting straight A's.....The next grading period I would and they would leave me alone...My problem was, I was bored

From experience, the adult will likely tell you that they push you so that you can do better than they did. If you're already doing better than they did, tell them. Make it known and understood by them that you're doing your best and that thats all they can ask of you.
