Why do I even try?

I was at a family friend's place today, one of dad's friends, and all they ever talk about is how their kids are doing at school. There happened to be one kid (who I'm admittedly not very fond of), who made it to NSGHS, and has the potential to go to Ruse. I don't care about that (except for the fact that even though she's in year 6, she brags a lot), but I do care about my parents' response to the girl's mum. "Your daughter is so studious and hardworking, Annie doesn't even focus on her studies." I get it, it's an Asian thing to do, comparing children. 
So, I don't work hard huh? So, all this time I strived to get good marks is worth nothing to you. I'm trying, I really am. But you don't seem to see it. Why did I even bother to try? 

I actually know the answer to the last question- to honour my parents through study, all in order to glorify God.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
