School, often seen as a place of learning and development, can also be an immense source of stress. For me, this stress is amplified by a constant fear of disappointing my parents. Every test, every assignment, every exam becomes an opportunity to question myself. The pressure to succeed, not only for myself but also for those who believe in me, is a difficult weight to bear. This article explores how school stress and the fear of disappointing my parents influence my daily life, and how I try to manage these emotions.
The first aspect is stress at school. Stress at school is a reality I face every day. Exams, homework, projects, it all adds up, and sometimes it feels like there’s never enough time to get it all done. With each task I put off, I feel as if the clock is ticking faster, that every minute counts. This constant stress overwhelms me, sometimes making it difficult to enjoy moments of relaxation or even concentrate effectively. The most frustrating thing about this stress is that it’s often self-imposed. I put pressure on myself to get good grades, to meet my teachers’ expectations, and above all to meet my own expectations.
The second aspect is disappointing my parents. This fear of disappointing my parents is omnipresent. From an early age, I was taught the importance of education and good grades. Although my parents are always caring and understanding, I feel internal pressure to show them that I can succeed. The fear of not meeting their expectations makes me doubt myself, and I sometimes find myself working even harder than necessary, just to make sure I don’t disappoint them.
« Take care of yourself and don’t stress. It’s easy to let everything overwhelm you, but remember to breathe and enjoy the ride. »
Taylor Swift
School stress and the fear of disappointing my parents are part of my daily life, but I’m trying to tame them. These emotions are normal, but they don’t have to take over our lives. With better organization, a change of perspective on failure and family support, we can learn to manage this pressure and move forward serenely.
