My friends parents are pressuring her to be the best and get full marks at the end of the year, and when she told her parents that her friend got full marks they spazzed at her and told her she had to do better even though she was only one mark off full marks. And she now hates them and doesn't know what to do.
What should i say/do? How do you think i can help her? i am totally lost.How should my friends deal with her parents?
The best thing you can do is to help keep her balanced. Her parents don't have healthy expectations for her and you can help give her a more reasonable perspective when she is really starting to get down on herself. Make a big running joke of it if you can. Come up with a good impersonation of one of her parents, and when your friend tells you crazy stories about what they did or expect her to do, do whatever you can to make her laugh about how crazy they are.
Remind her that it isn't forever.
Studying is good, but that shouldn't be the only thing your friend is allowed to focus on. That is not healthy
