I believe this is one of the reasons why I have such low self esteem. I can't tell them though because when I did they told me to stop blaming them for my problems.

Just now I was talking to my parents about my day at college. It was going well at first. Then my mom starts talking about how I sleep too much when I get home. My first class starts at 8:30 in the morning and I'm not a morning person at all. So when I get home I sleep for awhile, but I have good grades and I manage to get everything done when I do wake up. They know that too. Then they say since I'm taking Japanese I should try to be like them. I have a friend who's Japanese and they say "I bet she studies hard. You should too." The truth is that she actually likes to party a lot and barely even pays any attention to her homework. What really gets me mad is that I ended up with a GPA of 3.5 last semester which is a huge improvement from how I did in high school and they still talk to me as if I'm getting bad grades.. I can't even talk to my parents without having them compare me to someone or talk about college. It doesn't matter how hard I try to change the subject. That's all they want to talk about and it stresses me out.
