All these while, after having so much complaints from my family members, I seriously hope to have superpower to just read through once, then I can remember all those things I had learned. Even just do every question once, I will remember how to do those every single question. Every time I just didn't study in front of my family members, they will keep ask me to study study study and study! It gets annoyed day by day, second my second. I don't get why they never get bored on asking me to study. T hey do not know what I'm thinking, what I felt, when I have the mood to study and just ask me to study whenever they saw me not studying! Even just minutes ago, I'm studying and I wanted to relax for a while, and they saw me relaxing, they will then ask me to STUDY! What on earth with that? Want me to study also not such way. Study days and nights. Want me become crazy just cause of studying?! Keep giving me stress about university! Studies! Straight A's! My future! I'm frustrated with their super duper old fashion thinking! Hell! I will sure go crazy one day!

I would quite like that superpower you could make a fortune on quizzes and gameshows.Though the inteligence the superpower gave you would have its limitations you would know a lot of facts but without the ability to understand the facts you couldn't really apply the facts.This superpower wouldn't even help with most exams as exams don't just judge your factual knowledge they also judge your understanding of a subject.

i am grateful that my parents didnt pressure me to study. well i was kind of a geek so i always had a book with me and they thought i was studying. but i mostly read pocketbooks and i barely touched my textbooks. so if you want a breather. hold on to a book instead of a cellphone and they probably wont bother you

Sometimes I was reading story books they also complain about me reading story books instead of studying. Even I do hold onto books, they will eventually know and complain me about not studying. Even reading story books do help, they still complain like there's no future reading them.

well, it is a good dream. i want to have superpower, too. in fact everyone want it but no one get it. sometimes family members are so terrible because all they did is to ask you to study, study all day and all night. my family members also ask me to study many times, i know they love me and what they did is just want to make me get a better grade and have a better life in the future, but they also give me a lot of pressure that i really am bothered at that time. no matter what, if you keep studying, you will get out of this situation. good luck!

i really know how you feel now.. but this problem will never get solved if you just angry to your parents.. you must believe me.. since i'm 6 years old (starting my elementary school) until finishing the junior high school at 14 my parents (especially my mom because my father is working) always ask me to study.. i don't have enough time to play and even when i just want to reply my friend's sms trough the cellphone my mom start to complain.. i also get bored and very very bored like you but now, i regret it.. the basic is all in the junior high and elementary school that i take seriously before.. and now i have no problem and don't need to struggle with the hard subject (such as physics or chem) like almost all my friends do.. i thanks my mom since then and until now that she keeps forcing me to study hard.. you must do that too.. just believe that this maybe is the best way your mom have planned for you.. in addiction, just make sure you study when you are between your family and playing games when they are asleep.. lol

A superpower's cool. But telling them how you feel would be awesome. Maybe if you are taking a break, you could just hide behind the biggest lecture book you have and pretend to study while taking a break. I usually gather snacks before I study and have in between breaks while studying. It actually helps me relax even while studying and making study notes.

hi Erynn you need to talk to them and explain you have to have sometime off from studying so you do not get burned out.tell them your study times and ask that they not disturb you during that time. Also remind them that nobody can study 24 hours a day. tell them bluntly not to harass you as that does not help you to study just makes you angry.Also keep your part of it do study when you say you are going to.remind them whenever theu strt that study business that y ou did study du ring your st udy times.

I am lucky that my parents do not pressure me that much. My parents are the opposite of yours, they would always expect me to fail at some point, and always assures me that they would support me no matter what. Well I graduated just fine with honors from my college and now I am in med school. I don't think you're parent's are ultimately wrong about pressuring you that hard, heck I would have loved that my parents were a bit positive in my studies rather than always expecting me to fail. I guess they are just showing how much they care for you. But I really think rest periods are a also a key ingredient in studying. Try to incorporate breaks also. A mentor in med school gave advice to us that the key to effective studying would be "discipline". She talked about how she failed in her first term exams and after that she would spend every night into studying but has 15 minute breaks in between (she said to us during these breaks it should not be school related) you just have to have that discipline to come back to studying after that 15 minutes is up. I assure you that as you go to higher order of learning like in postgrad, studying would not be seen as something as a chore, but something to survive. So please, try to enjoy it. I assure you, it will pay out in the end. Hope I helped.

hi erynn i know how hard it is when our parents are putting more pressure on our studies. but one thing is sure..they are putting pressure on you to become a successful man in your life. try hard and get good grade and tell your parents that i'm not neglecting my studies and it creates a confidence in your parents. there is no need of superpower to study are become good. just hard work will gains you every thing in life.

Hi Erynn! I also keep reminding my children to study. I only do it for their own good. So probably that is also the reason why your parents are telling you to do so. Don't get mad if they keep on repeating this statement over and over again. They are just concerned about your future. Have a nice day! Oh well before I forgot, study hard my dear.

Most parents are just like that,just they don't know how hard the feeling being force and listen a lot of complaints. Don't take that complaints seriously,take it easy and just do your best you know and everything they thinking about you will soon be over. Don't stress yourself about them or you will be pressured. Happy mylotting.
