Dear Patrick,
I feel great pressure(压力)to meet the expectations of my family.They hope that I will get
into a top high school,but I don't want to.
Lauren
Hi Lauren,
This can be a hard situation to face.On the one hand,your family mean well for you.Getting
into a top high school would make it easier to get into a top college,improving your chances of a
good future.On the other hand,being worried and unable to reduce the pressure will only make
the situation worse.
I think the best way to solve it is to find a compromise(折中方案).For example,if you love
sports and think you'll go into sports some day,find a top sports school in your area to get into.
What's more,try to talk about your feelings to your parents.Tell them it will only harm you if
they always ask you to do things you don't want to.If possible,you could also share your feelings
with a family counselor(咨询师).
