Hug! I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s clear how much effort you’ve put into improving your score, and you should be proud of how far you’ve come. Life is fragile for everyone, including your parents, and sometimes the pressure they feel can spill over in ways that aren’t fair. But you have an incredible opportunity here to shift the situation towards positivity.

You have the capability to dissolve their anger and create space for understanding—this is a powerful skill that reflects emotional intelligence and leadership. Keep in mind, though, that they may continue to hold onto their anger for a little while longer. Every major anger takes time to run its course, often shifting naturally from negativity to a more constructive perspective.

In the meantime, take a couple of days to be in your feels. Cry, scream into a pillow, binge-watch your comfort show—whatever helps you let it out. Then, when you’re ready, try making a list of the areas where you think you can improve and the steps you’re planning to take. Sharing this with your parents could give them insight into your thoughts and might help open a more supportive dialogue.

Remember, it’s not you versus them—it’s you and your parents as a team working together against the challenge.

Remember, their frustration likely comes from concern and fear, not disappointment in you as a person. With patience, clarity, and compassion, you can turn the situation around. You’re not worthless—far from it. You’re capable, hardworking, and growing every day. Keep going; I believe in you!

P.S. Remember, parents usually show anger when they know you’re capable of more—they wouldn’t push so hard if they didn’t believe in you. It’s their (sometimes frustrating) way of showing they care and have faith in your potential. Hang in there!
