Your parents have serious problems if they would hate their own child. So I am hoping you are mistaken about that. I think you should be truthful with them, and if they do get hateful or abusive, tell them that their attitude has not helped you be a better student and ask if you all can't work together to make a better atmosphere for you? I hope you will also take advantage of whatever counseling is offered at your school, both academic and emotional counseling. No matter how much people stress over grades and opportunities and how this or that has to be done 'perfectly' when it comes to university, there are almost always many opportunities and many paths to success. Courage!

i am a parent and i couldn't imagine hating my kids for bad grades, disappointed yes.
what i do is sit down with my child and figure out what the problem is and get the proper help my child needs to improve on there grade.
that's what a normal parent does.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I have the same problem, feeling like I can't do anything right around my dad. I will pray for you, friend. All I can say is be honest and tell them what you made. Maybe you can be able to sit down with them and tell them how you feel. I know it feels hopeless and a waste of time, but maybe they will listen. Do your best for you, not your parents. You don't have to impress them. It is your life. Pray about it and ask God to give you strength sweetie. I hope everything turns out for the best.

Running away is not going to help the situation. As a parent myself I would much rather have my child be honest with me, because if you runaway from this, you will run away from other issues as an adult.

Bless your heart. I know you FEEL that your parents hate you, but I think that they are probably frustrated, because they want you to get good grades so that you'll have a good life -- perhaps a BETTER life that what THEY had. But I know they don't hate you. I'm a parent too, and I used to get really frustrated with my son -- he wasn't stupid, but he just wouldn't try in school. He was too "busy" playing baseball.

Like the others have said, why not sit down with them and tell them how they make you feel? Tell them that they make you FEEL like they hate you. Then perhaps they will change the way they react towards you. At least I would HOPE they would! And also check out the counseling at school, and the tutoring at school too. Most schools have some tutoring available.

I wish you the very best. Being a teenager is VERY difficult in the first place, let alone when you have problems at home too. Please take care of yourself and God bless. Hugs, Lee
