parents are just worried about us i have never passed everything ni a whole quarter of school i was always failing 1 or 2 subjects lol parents prolly made those mistakes to and they dont want us to make the same ones

Yeah I know what some parents are like, they only remember the bad stuff right? Well just bugger them. Be self motivated, if they dont support you on the good you are getting then stuff em. Be polite to them and stuff just dont give a crap about the bad stuff they say. All you have to care about is that you do/did your best and its good enough for YOU. Understand?

They are using something that my therapist calls a negative filter. It filters out all the positive uptil all you are left with is the negative. He also told me to train my parents. He said that all I have to do is use positive reinforcement when I am enjoying them. So say, if you are doing something with your mom or dad and you are really enjoying being with them, use eye contact and give them hugs and tell them how much you are enjoying their company. When they get all, you know, crazy on you, ignore it. Say, I'm sorry you feel that way. The ignoreing is the hardest thing to do, cause come on, lets face it, you want to talk back. But don't and it's like training a puppy. It works.
