I'm not perfect.

I don't know if it's a thing every parent does, or if its just mine, but they want me to be perfect. I have average grades, normally and do try hard in school. They just expect me to have the best grades. They keep going on about my older brothers grades and it got to me. I had a science test and deliberately did badly.

I know it wasn't smart but I can't stand people or my family thinking I'm really smart, because I'm not. I don't want to have to live up to people's expectations, I just want to live up to my own. I got an E on that test. It made me laugh. I am now forced to attend extra science lessons and a phone call was made home.

I never understood how that was a punishment. It's a phone all home, I would be more annoyed by a detention. It's stupid.
