My parents compare me to my cousin all the time on the basis of grades.What do I do?

My cousin is this really studious perfect son that every parent could dream of.And my aunt gloats all over about his academic achievements and certificates.And my mom,on hearing all this gets upset with me and starts criticising me and says I should be thêm like him in every way,just beacause he has good grades.Evevthough,I get okay grades they dont seem to be happy beacuse his grades are much better than mine.Even if,Im better than him at art,music,literature,painting amd nghề viết văn and those kind of things,they dont seem to care.Im so sad,what should I do?

Tell your parents about how bạn feel. But don't blame them for anything, parents are allergic to that! Say something like; "I always want to be thêm like <insert name of cousin> because I'm afraid bạn won't tình yêu me if I'm not". That'll make them think and bạn didn't do anything wrong! ;)

Plus, you're better in art, music, writing, etc. So do something with it!

Write some âm nhạc hoặc paint something hoặc write an awesome story so your mom will brag about bạn with your aunt! ;).

Hope I could help! Take care!

i have the exact same problem the only difference is taht all my sousins are amarter than me.. i have 2 other cousins who are in the same garde as me and they are all really talented and really same. where i come from which is like a asian family. our parents have really high expectations. so if bạn are like the runt in my family. bad luck for you.

anyways. to answer your question. in my experience. try your best to ignore it. trust me its not gonna be easy. bạn are gonna feel at some point bạn cant take it and just wanna kill urself (figuratively) every grade if not an A hoặc full marks bạn get back bạn are gonna feel like bạn have been a failure. so bạn if bạn are like me who cant accept such thing easily, bạn push and push. and eventually, it too much. i was like literally sleep deprived for months. many times, i would just wanna collapse but i did my best. trying telling yourself, if u did ur best, it was good.
dont beat yourself up too much about it. it just gonna eat at you. i'm myself am still struggling with this everyday. the want and the need for perfection. but it helps to talk to someone about it. to just vent your anger at a very good friend. also i understand that the need to the moment bạn get your grades to compare to others and all this comparison within ur peers is not helping. if bạn just wanna find out how much they scored. just to get like an estimate whether it was just bạn hoặc the test was really hard, then should but just within a few friends. dont try to compete with others, compete with yourself. it is your goal that bạn wanna beat not others. so disregard what grades your cousin hoặc peers are getting. focus on YOU! it only matters if bạn did not reach the standard bạn expected to reach. of course, dont go setting ridiculous standard that bạn know bạn cannot reach instead set realistic ones. it will help your grades improve.

as for your parents, i understand bạn are from india and i know what it is like there. i go to an international school so i now the pressure bạn guys have from your parents, garnted it may not be as much as how much my parents give me. but i get the general i dea. bạn parents, will never stop comparing bạn grades with others. in my 15 (techinically my birthday has not reach.. hehe) years of life, my parents have not stop comparing me to my cousins and even my friends. she made Những người bạn with some of my Những người bạn mom and compared grades. most of them, i consider smarter then me. either ways, i have notice that arts dont compare to academics, academics is always most important. if bạn can try to build a better relationship with your parents. like do bạn share a common interest with your mum hoặc dad. talk to them about it, soon they will get to know bạn better and see what else u have to offer. and they might be thêm accepting and tell your aunts and uncles hoặc " so what if your son/daughter is really smart at academics, my daughter can play the daughter can play the đàn piano as well as bethoven (hyperbo

Hey, believe in yourself.

Your mum has no reason to be upset with you. Talk to her about how you're feeling, she should understand. Make sure she takes notice when bạn do something well. For instance, your art, music, literature, painting and writing. Your mum should be gloating about your talents. You're the kind of artistic, creative person that will always have far thêm job opportunities than someone who is totally based academically. As long as your grades are ok and bạn pass your exams (no matter if it's a C hoặc an A, as long as you've passed them) then bạn will, honestly.

Don't let it get to you, just hold your head up high and know remember that you're you no one else. And bạn don't need to be.

Chin up, and focus on your talents, don't worry about your cousin. And also, I may only be a teenager, but if I had a kid, I would far prefer him/her to be good at the things that you're good at. I'm just saying that, grades aren't all a person wishes for in their kid.

Keep smiling!

=)

Just get over it and shrug off this matter. Dont blame ur mum 4 this. Just explain it to her calmly that how u feel and how u think u r different and should not be judged to ur cousin. let her know that u cant be like him completely. he's different u r different. then she will understand this matter. And most importantly, dont be depressed about this. it also happens to me. i dont take it too seriously. and know that bạn r not going to be like him.
