Conflicting Perspectives

No, the title isn't a deliberate reference to our module C topic.
Anyway, my parents and I have very different perspectives on the HSC snd how I should go about studying.
Both mum and dad want me to stop spending so much time at church and prioritise study instead. They want me to drop serving roles and stop joining H2O- basically meaning they only want me at church for sunday service and possibly Cornerstone.
I thoroughly disagree with this. I wish they would understand that my only form of relaxation and rest is spending time with the bros and sis' that I love, doing the things that are most important- serving and worshipping God. I wish they would be able to see that even though my studies are important to me, God is so much greater. His will for me matters a whole lot more that my studies.
But as much as I try to communicate this, they don't understand my point of view.

It's not just this. My parents continuously hurt me with their words. "You're always out, why don't you study?" "死蠢“ "沒用“ “點解你那麽笨“ "I hate you the most."
I don't want to believe it. But having it drummed into my ears day by day makes it difficult.
It's like they don't care. It's like I'm the neglected child.

A "short" update

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.

A timely reminder in the midst of chaos.
