<p>i received my sat II scores today, 780 in chem and 780 in mathII, but my parents are angry/ dissapointed in me. they say that "my future is destroyed" that I am lazy, do not take oppurtunities, do not try, and do not care about college. they say that i have blown my chance at any good school and that i would be lucky to get into george mason.</p>
<p>i think my scores are ok, but my parents have basically told me that I WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH.</p>
<p>Your scores are far beyond OK.</p>
<p>ummmm right. 780 is an excellent score in both. There are plenty of people that get into ivies or top LACs getting less than a 780 on their SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>i wish i could.. but both my mom and dad will not take less than perfect.</p>
<p>just wait until you get into a good college. and you will with 780s.</p>
<p>then you can do whatever you want every day.</p>
<p>thanks everyone....
i hate this feeling of guilt/anger/pressure.....</p>
<p>Not to offend you, but your parents have their heads so far up their ***es it's ridiculous. Those scores are more than competitive at any school in the world.</p>
<p>asian parents? lolol</p>
<p>yeeeeep ocd asian parents</p>
<p>Did you study for them? Did you buy review books? If you went in there and took it blind, your parents are justifiably angry--you are wasting opportunities. If you did study, however, and this is your best, tell them to shove it.</p>
<p>hehehe my parents are the same...I got a 790 on the june chem SAT II, and the first thing my parents said when I told them what I got was "Where did the other ten points go?"</p>
<p>my parents hate my SAT scores hahahhahahahhaha but oh well, im sorry i just hate standardized testing and its funny because i did SO much better on APs because they are actually studiable tests, unlike SAT.</p>
<p>but yes, tell your parents that its only 20 points. people get WAY worse than that. seriously look at me, i got 670 on my satII and if that doesnt work, then point them to CC and other sources to tell them that 780 is PERFECT.</p>

<p>What's wrong with that? Knowledge is acquired through learning from mistakes.</p>
<p>the point is that my parents never told me that I did a good job...the only thing they were concerned with was the fact that I didn't get a perfect score</p>
<p>haha i think i might actually point them to this site... but then theyll probably get even more angry and think that im being defiant and making excuses for my scores</p>
<p>the thing is, i studied really hard but they just never see me because im always in my room and i always act happy so they think that im not pressured and that i dont care</p>

<p>What's wrong with high standards? They just want you to go to a good college.</p>
<p>lol, I understand that but I think I deserve at least a "good job" for a 790 on chem.</p>
<p>^So your happiness depends on your parents' approval? I'd rather be attending a good college.</p>
<p>im glad for high standards but its really hard, for me at least, to be happy when my parents are blatantly hating my guts and devaluing me... its a very unhappy environment</p>
<p>^ I agree//</p>
