I'm told: you'll definately FAIL your exms if you don't study.

No...That is not really A good technique...Iam sure you study good,and get wonderful grades...But if you're parents keep on,and on like that...If you're anything like me,Then the more you're parents tell you that..The more stressed out about having the tests,because you're parents have told you that you're going to fail,So much,That you think you are,and it causes you stress..So no that is not much of A good technique...Instead that should support you,and say that you will do good on you're tests,and maybe even sit down,and help you study for it,and quit saying all the time,You will fail....It only adds more stress to the test,Because they have told you that so much,That you have got it in you're mind,and it stresses you out more,So they shouldn't do that,That's not much of A parent,For tem to be telling that,Maybe you should talk to them about it,and show them you're grades,and proove to them you are studying,and you're not failing,and tell them how you feel about it,I hope that helps..

some people don't test well. At my school we have a Disability Resource Center where kids who don't test well are given longer periods of time to complete a test. Perhaps you should check with the health care provider on your campus to see if your school has something similar

They are just being parents and trying to stress to you that you need to study. But they shouldn't tell you that you'll fail. They should tell you that you'll get bad grades but not use the word fail. Tell them to put it another way to you cause nobody likes the word fail

they shouldn't say you will fail..maybe they could have said you will do alot better on your exams if you study.

If I understand what you're saying, you know you have to study, you just wish your parents would stop telling you you're going to fail, and maybe look at what you've done before and realize that you haven't failed a test before, and you're really not likely to now. Also, the test is your responsibility and all the negativeness doesn't help you achieve the grade they want you to have. Parents have no training for parenthood except what they see their own parents do. That isn't always the best way to parent, and it is just perpetuated through the generations. Can you accept the fact that they are concerned, and not let what they say about failure bother you? We both know you're not going to fail.

Keep the selfboosting aside. O.K. What is the benefit they are getting, if you failed/passed? What is your commitment? .......pass Just compare and get yourself convinced. By passing in the examinations your parents are not getting any lottery/prize/fellowship. Their ambition is our son going to get good job and his life in the future in our absence will be good. They are Parents---given you the life-----forgive them friend. If your commitment is strong no body can change your future. OK.

No body else is telling you to study. It is your parents who are like GOD to you. It is they who always wish good things for you. It is they, who wanted you to study well and score high marks, so that they can be proud of you. It is just natural feeling of the parents should not be viewed as pessimistic attitude. You need to have patience and tell them that you are putting your best efforts.

as u really will...its true

Ya think?? Your not going to pass the exam with just a smile..study, then study some more..

Your parents are not using the best technique - I agree but most probably that the very same one their parents might have used ... When we are younger we sometimes can't see how important certain things are in life and we don't pay as much attention as we should .We realize that long years later I guess all i wanna say is, I am sure your parents jut want the best for yoiu and for you to understand how important education and exam's can be in your future Good Luck !

May be their approach is not as per your liking but you have to understand that they are tensed and worried and just trying to push you hard as per what they think will work. At the same time I feel by saying your child that "you will fail" will serve no purpose. On the contrary it may demotivate the child. I think you should sit down with your parents and give them enough confidence that they need not worry you will prove yourself when time comes. But at the same time take your studies with little more seriousness.

Yes... But Parents are the ones who keep us pushing to move ahead in life... although their way might be putting in a wrong way, but their intention are good... and taking things in a positive manner should be your style...

dont worry yaar just keep on studying and you would say nothing cant be done without preparation.

Hello friend , The problem which you r facing at your home is a problem which is faced by a No. of children of your age. If you r really serious about your studies and doing well then there is no problem in life but if you are not good at studies , everybody around you gets a chance to blame you. So, be Systematic. Plan your studies properly and get a lead in life. Don't get discouraged what others say.

It would be better if they said you are more likely to fail, and that you shouldn't take a chance on it.

hii jitendar..... May be you are right that they are being too pessimistic but i tell u that they are telling you so because you then study more and get serious towards your studies and get good marks....failing in school days or college days is a big diappointment to any child and his/her parents...As studies have become so important part of life that without it nobody could even survive....there is a hell lot of competition out there in the real world and when you'll come out of your studies you'll come to know of that for sure....So dont get stressed out of your parents comments and concentrate on your studies...just forget all what they'v said....i know its difficult but not that impossible either....

to some extent it is true.But u may pass instead u havnt done well if u have good impression to ur corresponding teacher.isnt it??

Your parents maybe are trying to get you to study more, or are using reverse psychology. .. Meaning if they tell you that you fail... Hoping it upsets you enough to want to work harder to prove them wrong.... I do not agree with reverse psychology tactics at all, even when it comes to grades and studying. I hope things ironed out for you and that you did alright with your exam in the end. Take care.
