Parents, Sleep, Concentration...High School :[

<p>Am I the only one that has trouble studying...or whose parents tells to go to sleep and stop reading? >_<</p>

<p>haha, my parents have no idea how little sleep I get. If they did, they'd be furious.</p>

<p>mine are the same as mollys. they'll yell at me for not studying and have no idea I was up till 2:00 working.</p>

<p>true that, vegan.</p>

<p>it's so frustrating!</p>

<p>what I love:
"make better grades!"
"Study more!"</p>

<p>two seconds later....
"why do you have circles under your eyes?"</p>

<p>are you stupid or something?! I hate my parents.</p>

<p>haha i know, my parents are like study hard and have straight A's and go to sleep early. well, how in the world can you do that if you're not up past midnight?</p>

<p>and then they're angry if you're tired and don't want to wake up earlier.
"you should go to bed sooner if you're going to always be tired!"</p>

<p>"did you study for your tests yet?"</p>

<p>how do we do both??</p>

<p>Ahhhhh crazy insane parents. </p>

<p>Oh well, we'll all probably end up like 'em anyways.</p>

<p>The solution is to not have kids.</p>

<p>my mom always says "study hard, sleep early" impossible!</p>

<p>My parents (at least my dad) think that high school is so easy, like they would give anything to be in my situation. Then I try to explain to them that all I do is homework, right from when I get home to the time I go to sleep and that I study my azz off to get good grades to get into a good college.</p>

<p>They don't understand.</p>

<p>for real. my parents come home from work (not a whole lot later than I get home from whatever EC I had that day/work) and ask me to do chores, etc. My mom's always saying I do nothing.
um.
At least when you get home from work, you're done for the day!</p>

<p>and, by the way, I am the only one in my family who vacuums or cooks.</p>

<p>They weren't in the era of super-acheivers.</p>

<p>exactly. I took courses in freshman year that my dad took in college. The stuff I'm taking now is more advanced than he has even attempted.<br>
Sorry, but it's true. Not that he isn't smart...he just never had to work this hard in school!</p>

<p>Yea, my dad basically took electives and got C's in all his classes. Now he is an auto-mechanic. I tell him, "Sorry dad, but I don't want to be a mechanic my entire life".</p>

<p>He wants me to get into a good college, yet at the same time he says I'm too far in over my head and that I should take easier classes. I'm only taking 2 AP's this year.</p>

<p>my parents are always pushing me to do more and do better. my mom says she wishes someone had pushed her, blah blah. but you're KILLING ME.</p>

<p>hahahaha. you guys are funny. </p>

<p>my mom wants me to study, "but only to a certain point! and then go to sleep!" </p>

<p>the next morning: "DID YOU SLEEP WHEN I TOLD YOU TO???? WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SO TIRED????" </p>

<p>i think what they want is study in a concentrated span of time, and no internet/phone/tv/distractions to dilute the studying time so that we'll have time to sleep.</p>

<p>psh, if i didn't have my distractions (what do you think i'm doing now, mom) i wouldn't get any work done.</p>

<p>If I did it all straight through without distractions, I'd lose my mind.</p>

<p>I would die.</p>

<p>DIE!</p>

<p>i'm with you, molly.</p>

<p>i think my distractions are sometimes longer than the actual study periods though....</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>of course, my mom doesn't know that.</p>
