All That We Do is a Question of Motivation?

That's what I keep on thinking whenever I get scolded by my parents. I feel unmotivated and even would think that I will fail all my subjects to show that I'm not motivated to study because of them but I never did pursue doing that 'cause I don't want to have a "dumb" image from my classmates. I realize then that, "It's true! All that we do and we don't do is about motivation." Am I right? or do you agree of what I realized in life?

xannex... lols. thanks for the topic .. THIS ensures that one would learn about the feelings of teenagers. This also helps parents, who are doing the WRONG JOB.. of scolding, while, at heart, what they intend to do is.. LOVE and MOTIVATE. BUT, i wish to add... .. it is your life, that you have to face... and, if you are not motivated properly by your parents.. they don't suffer--- but, it is your life again! .. so, don't worry about what they are telling you. ========== you are right about the feelings --- .. but, again -- please don't mind.

:) Yes, I know that my parents scold me because they want me to be better. I do admit it when it's my fault. But few times have I, even my sibling, were scolded for the wrong reasons, maybe that's why I came up with my "realization" haha. Another thing is that sometimes or oftentimes we can see that my father to be exact doesn't walk the walk that's why we tend to show to him that it's his fault. (Bitter?) lol.

lols.. there is a wonderful story here! .. but, dearest, .. don't you think sympathetically! .. your father and mother might be suffering through their own troubles. Mostly, they will be having some FINANCIAL stress, for taking care of your needs. And, when you are not behaving properly.. in their VIEW --- they would sure be ANGRY ... ANGER is a result from FRUSTRATION! .. SO, please forgive your parents. My sincere appeal to you .. on this.
