What do you do when you just can't do it anymore?

My mother has always introduced me as her genious child. That's a lot of pressure. And now, I just, I can't do it anymore. I am having a really hard time in math and if I fail, then I'm her failure child. I DONT WANT TO BE A FAILURE! But, it's a lot of pressure, I've grown up with this...title...my entire life and I just can't be the genious child anymore. Life gets harder. Honestly, I don't think I'm supposed to be going through this I mean, I'm only 13. Right now, i really just font want to be alive. I can't keep pushing to live up to this title. I can't talk to my mom about it, because I don't want to let her down. I lock myself in my room and cry so that I won't let my mother down. I just can't do...

My life

Anymore

    Don't beat yourself up for a title. Your mom wants nothing but the best for you, and I highly doubt that she would rather love to pitch a title before her child. No matter what, she will always be proud if you are succeeding or failing. If she is not proud of you, then why does she gives you love and great compliments? She is your biggest fan and she knows you can do it. Tell your mom how you feel, and keep being great.

    That's not your problem, it was your mom who calls you that (right). If she seems to love you now then that won't change if you stop perfect grades. When I was your age school completely slammed into me and I either did whatever I could and only did it out of my own personal goals (which was not to live up to my mother's expectation), or went down with my own pride.

    So stop trying to please others and do things for yourself. Your mom won't keep calling you that once you move out I bet you.
