I NEED HELP.............?

Sounds like a huge cultural difference between yours and mine (USA). I try to value my children for who they are and respect their achievements on an individual basis. Not all children do as well in school as others but that is not necessarily an indicator of how successful they will be in life. Please read this article a href="http://delvisionaries.com/blog/2010/04/self-made-entrepreneurs-and-the-value-of-a-degree/" rel="nofollow"http://delvisionaries.com/blog/2010/04/s…/a but understand that this list is by no means complete. They left out a lot of famous names, such as Walt Disney, founder of the huge Disney corporation and tremendous visionary and high school drop out. Talk to your parents. Let them know that you are crushed that they only acknowledge your failures and refuse to accept your successes. Let them know that you are doing your very best in all things, and will continue to do so, but that you certainly would appreciate it if they would at least acknowledge your efforts. Parenting is not a competition where some parents win because their children are successful in school and other parents lose. Good parenting is accomplished when our children are confident and are motivated to do their very best. Since you are trying and doing your very best, they should be proud to have produced a motivated young adult who will likely go very far in life because of that motivation. (Often children who do well in school because they are very smart don't accomplish much in 'real life' because they are unmotivated and accustomed to 'resting on their laurels.')
