I’m in Class XII and I’m a below-average student. Since I managed to get around 70% in Class X Boards, my parents wanted me to continue in the same CBSE School. But I’m struggling a lot now and I’m unable to cope with pressure. We’re a middle-class family, and my parents are spending a lot on school fees and tuitions. I’m feeling guilty about my performance; in fact, only after assurances from my parents did the school promote me to Class XII, with severe warning at that. I don’t have the courage to tell my parents that I can’t score well, it’s too late now. I’m so stressed. Please help me.
I appreciate your concern for your parents and also your genuineness. It is not healthy to get worried and stressed out. Too much of stress will affect your performance. Your parents are ready to spend money on your education but it is important for them to understand your capacity and interests. Aspirations should match our ability. Everyone need not excel only in academics. Every individual has some unique talent. Explore your talents more productively. Getting stressed will not help you in anyway. You are in Class XII. Focus on your performance. Plan your study and perform to the best of your ability. Be open to your parents. Help them understand your limitations and ask them not to set high expectations. But you should not give up. Hard work and perseverance will certainly help you. Good luck for your future.
