Why are my parents so mean

Someone from Mount Mitchell, North Carolina, US posted a whisper, which reads "WhY Do my parents care about my grades more than me "

Parents need to understand this!! My parents especially!! This how i literally feel. I have overprotective parents who don't let me grow up!! why can't she just understand this

~•The fact that this is so true makes me want to cry. I know that I wish my parents understood how hard things can be for me. And I wanna be like that but Ik I prolly won't be...•~
