I went through almost the exact same thing when I lived with my parents. I also had daily migraines. I actually can't cry anymore because it made my parents so angry that I eventually made myself stop. I haven't cried in almost 7 years.

as an eldest daughter i know how you feel. its not fair. we're expected to be 'the good influence' and the 'perfect child' but it's hard to be constantly trying to please everyone around you. they don't treat us the same. they don't understand the mental stress we put ourselves through to make them proud. it gets to a point where its too much and we cant take it. that's why we're stressed and exhausted. we do it all for our parents and they just don't understand that its all to please them. and yes i totally get what you're saying about how you have to be perfect so they can tell all their friends about how perfect you are. but that is so much pressure to put on a teenager. you don't need hat extra pressure, being a teen is hard enough. but please don't be disappointed in yourself. if your parents aren't proud of you for at least trying someone else will be. i promise you are not alone and you're always going to have someone who has your back; who actually understands how hard you try, how tired you are. i truly am sorry your parents don seem to understand i get it

Not at all! when you have to satisfy “Expectations” life is not easy
