Someone Please Talk To Me😭?

So I get As in school, but I've recently dropped my math grade to a B and I have a cousin who goes to same school as me but is a grade below and gets apparently gets As too. My parents started comparing me to her saying that I say all lies, and that I don't work hard enough school when that isn't true at all!!! My cousin is literally doing 5th grade in 7th grade while I'm in 8th grade doing 10th grade math! I'm crying right now but they claim I don't work hard in school but in reality I work my butt off in school!! I keep on crying and crying because everything I do is never good enough for them. They claim they support me no matter what but I know that isn't true (for other reasons). Please what do I do? It's already too late I can't raise my math to an A as tomorrow marks the last day of our 2nd semester and I know I got second honors. (I got first honors the first semester) I'm so upset I don't know what to do

    You have been so brainwashed and your poor parents don't have a brain between them. They need to support you and stop with all the competitve nonsense. It is so typical that ignorant parents, who are insecure, push their children . They don't know any better and are fearful because that is how they were raised and they think if you don't do well in school you will be a failure. Honey , you do not sound like a failure. Your parents need to get off your back and take the pressure off of you. You are a smart kid , you will do well to listen to your own intuition. no matter what anyone says.

    Awwww, I'm a Mother and I'd be proud of your A & B grades. We can't

    all be brilliant and your parents should realize that. They should be

    encouraging you for your 'above average' grades, not calling you names like liar.

    You need to just encourage yourself and smile through this, not be crying because

    you can't please your parents. They especially shouldn't be comparing you to

    anyone else. Well, this is a hard one to answer, so I'll just say "always do the

    best you can (which you apparently already do if you feel like you've worked

    your butt off), and be self-confident that you're doing above average in school.

    Try to shake off your parents disapproval, but none of us can change them.

    I'm sure many many parents reading this would be very proud of you. ♥

    You said your parents are claiming that you "say all lies".

    What are they saying you are lying about?

    -- If they are not telling you what you are lying about, then you should say "What is one thing I am lying about?" If they have no answer, then they have lost the case. "Why should I pay attention to you as you are clearly lying?"

    -- If they are telling you what you are supposedly lying about and it is false, then you have a case against your parents.

    Hang in there. Don't let what your parents are dong lead you go crying so much. You need to defend yourself. Maybe this will help you preparing for your adult life.

    It's okay! You normally are an all A student, and all that matters is that you tried you're hardest. Stand up for yourself!
