<p>Ever since I was little, my dad's expected me to be perfect, and put the pressure on me.
He would constantly brag to everyone about my "perfect grades." It was all he ever talked about. He would fax my report cards to ALL of my family members behind my back, never asked. He would always talk to me about how much he bragged on me. </p>
<p>So my grades slipped a little, especially because he was starting to put me under more and more pressure. </p>
<p>So what happens? The school flips out, and has my parents meet up with ALL of my teachers at once. My parents did this completely behind my back; never telling me AT ALL. Next thing you know, I get called up to guidance about "how they'd met up with my parents yesterday." I sit in there, totally clueless, "I didn't even know they came yesterday." "Oh, well they were SUPPOSED to tell you" c': It was lovely. </p>
<p>So on my way home, my dad just screams at me about how I'm not being 'perfect' when I could be. He just keeps repeating, and interrupting.. "You can be perfect." My mom flips out on me about the randomest stuff that she thinks could be affecting me in school. I was hungry, and wanted a small snack before I went to bed. She screamed at me for five minutes about how it was going to keep me awake all night, and how I shouldn't be allowed to have snacks because it affects my school performance, apparently.
Then I took a small nap because I was tired. Got yelled for that too; called lazy. </p>
<p>I can't put up with the pressure they put on me. I'm afraid of not living up to their expectations; I can't take them. It's too much for me, and they won't chill out no matter what I say. I'd be able to do okay if they weren't constantly harping on me to be "perfect." How do people deal with parents like this? I wish I could move in with my aunt.</p>
