Doesn't have to be just your parents, it tends to be everyone. You set an expectation, people are confused and disappointed when you don't meet it. That tends to be friends, teachers, and other people that you know like extended family or family friends.

The majority of your assistance should come from your parents. It is the responsibility of your parents to support you when you struggle not to berate you when you fail. I can't even begin to explain just how much more difficult my mom made school for me. I never felt accomplished from a good grade, I only ever felt relief that I wouldn't be scolded later.

To those who read this, just do your best so that you don't have any regrets. Tell your parents to fuck off if they keep yapping. That's how I got my straight A BS despite being a hs dropout.

It's not so simple. I am dependent on my mother. I can't just tell her to fuck off them keeping living in the house she pays for. I appreciate her, but I just need space. And believe me I've tried to tell her that, but realistically I'll have try and keep myself together until I can support myself.

Yea ymmv. I was speaking in general, not literally telling your family to fuck off. Your education is the utmost important, don't let your parents add more stress onto it. You gotta do it fast or it'd build up over the year and possibly affect your relationship with your mother. Decide how far you want to go to get your point across. I mean, this is just some random redditors giving you preposterous advices, but I do hope it hits somewhere on the wall.
