[quote=Anonymous]My parents were tiger-parent-wannabes. They demanded academic excellence (I remember getting punished for a 93 on a test), but also refused to help me with schoolwork. If I needed help on an assignment, my mom would call me stupid and threaten to send me back a grade. Or I was in a gifted program, and my parents would get upset that my work wasn’t as advanced as the other kids’. But all the other kids had parents who were helping them. I tried hard but without the support at home I started falling behind. In middle school I gave up and maintained a C average no matter how much my parents punished me. Also had severe depression.
