I have alot of stress right now becaues I have a quiz in math each day and its really hard to keep up the good grades I have made all a's since middle school becaues my dad keeps pushing me to do better and will not let me go out in play with the other kids until all my school work is done and when it is done he says its too dark and want let me play. I have not played with my friends in 4 years and they dont even call anymore. It has been this way ever since middle school and now i have lost all my friends and i am considerd a outcast at school. I try to explain this to my mom but she doesent care enough to listen or she too drunk to care I would turn to my friends but I do not have any. it has been this way for too long and im starting to think every1 in the world is as unloving as my parents. So now i have come to my computer for help. so what is more important friends or good grades? also on my rare off time I ushally go into my room and cry myself to sleep or think about suiside.

Don't commit suicide... www.metanoia./suicide
Relax, tell your dad how you feel. Email me if you want to, I can be your friend! Not everyone is as unloving as your parents. Talk to a school counselor, to an adult you trust (relative? teacher?) I presume you're in high school? Well my parents pressure me for good grades, but they don't force me, just encourage me. In 6th grade I had a 4.00 GPA but now I just try my hardest, an education is important, but you need friends too. You don't need too much of a social life, but find a friend. I'm sure there are others like you out there, who you can be friends with. Good luck, email me if you want to!

well he doesnt listing start not listing to him i prefer doing both but thats some BS that he doesnt let u do nothing i be mad is your life is time when u need to start having fun not been all stress thats why we have our teen years so we can have fun so when come time comes we star having our responsibilities

What's more important, grades or friends? Well I think that you need a healthy balance, first of all.

Secondly, I think you should talk your counsellor first thing tomorrow and explain all of this. He or she can speak with your parents on your behalf and explain to them the kind of pressure that is being placed on and how unhealthy it is. Also mention your thoughts of suicide... even if you are scared to.

Good luck.

Hmm... Talk about stress.... My father also pushed me to be excellent in school and I don't blame you. Everything you are describing right now, I went through, But balance eveything out. Its the only way to work things out. Speak to your dad about how stress is overwhelming you. If you don't have any friends or fun time your brain won't have it's relaxation time, It's period when it is not working as hard as it usually does. I'm going through it, I guess.. after finishing my work I am able to concentrate on other things, my interests and my friends. Don't let work overwhelm you. I mean, Your dad I'm guessing wants you to be someone in life, because you have so many opportunities. Be faithful to your dad while also being faithful and mind-healthy to yourself. *p.s* don't think about suicide.. just makes things worst

The way you talk about your parents your dad doesn't want you to end up like them. Idk if they went to college or not, but if they didn't he probably just wants you to get the best opportunities you can. But this also involves being social. Talk to your dad about it, if he still says no going out with friends ask if you can join Stu-Co or some other extracurricular, that way you get something that will look really good on college applications and such, and you can make friends.

Two words: School counseling.

Some more words if that didn't help: Try to make friends to talk to during class (I know you're not supposed to but it can really make you feel better and help your self-esteem). Also try to put your life into perspective, you have the opportunity to get a good education, and don't waste it. Call your old friends up, don't wait for them to call you. Get an AIM account and talk to some people, tell them about some interesting stuff and they'll listen. Eventually you'll find a good friend and you can talk to them about your problems, they'll listen and help you out. Also, suicide is not an option. It is an easy way out and it is 100% permanate. It's really not worth dying because you are worried about grades and who is your friend. You'll only be known as the guy who commited suicide for no plausible reason. That would be your entire legacy. Make people care about you by being sociable and nice, make people want to be with you. Find a teacher and tell them you feel too much pressure, and they might make you feel better. You're also probably depressed, so get that checked out. Things can be a lot worse, one life skill you need to develop is coping with your problems and moving forward.

God! Your parents are real jerks! This is why some kids rebel! You don't have to listen to them, but I'm sure you'll get grounded. Your dad is asking you to be perfect, which is impossible! You are going through a time when you NEED friends, and he is preventing you from making any. He is probably just trying to live his life through you, which is a bad idea. It can even be damaging. Please don't kill yourself! Email me!

If you ever want to talk, please email me at zolar_zyztem@yahoo.com.

Friends help you as a person, grades help you in the superficial world that exists no longer after you die.

One of my best friends is in the same predicament. What I suggest is that you talk to a school counselor, and they can work out a way to fix the problems between you and your parents.

And trust me-school will be over soon, and you get to make your own choices.
