Parents expect too much

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Anyway I got to thinking earlier. Over time I have come to realize that I think that my parents have to high of expectations of me. Yes I do better in school than my siblings, I'm good at sports and can deal with almost anything without a problem but... what I think they don't realize is that I'm also really good at hiding what I really feel. I can't do everything and I only act like I can somethings in hopes of getting their attention and getting them to think that I'm good enough for once to think and talk about. Not just how school's so hard for my siblings and stuff.

This reminds me of a scene from the Disney show Good Luck Charlie, in the "Something's Fishy" episode where Teddy (Bridgit Mendler) went over her texting limit and had to get a job to pay her dad back. Then at her job a rude kid took the keys to lock up the building and she chased him around until she got stuck in one of the playgound tubes. When her dad finally showed up she asked him why he treated her differently than he treated, her brother,  PJ (Jason Dolley). He said he held her to a higher standard because he knew she was 'capable of doing great things'. That scene was... I felt that I could relate to Teddy. She's smart and can do things on her own and her parents wouldn't have to worry about her. I'm just like that but my parents, I think they push me to much.

Now I think it's sad that I've gotten to the point where I can't freely tell them anything because I'm afraid that they won't care because their to busy with my siblings.
