Running Away
My parents keep saying how they hate having me here because I do so crappy in school. Well, I try hard but I just get C's and B's on stuff. I'm kinda a little bit maybe thinking about running away. What do you think?

HI Vince, I am a teacher and I can see your parents only want you to do well in life. Good results in school are not essential, after all Einstein used to fail maths...jeje, but there are no parents who really think this:
how they hate having me here
Parents, just like everybody else, get angry at times, and say things they don't mean. never got angry with your best friend and said something like: I wish you were dead!! or I wish you broke a leg!! I mean, we get this here all the time and I suppose neither you nor children here mean it, well , neither do your parents.
Running away is not a good solution, actually no solution at all. Where would you go? Life is hard out there, trust me

Tell your parents to shut up. You are doing the best you can. If they want you to do better, tell them to hire a tutor. It's quite unacceptable for them to lower your self-esteem. If you do good in school, you'll get a good job. If you don't, you won't. That is not a reflection of who you are. I live in a nice home. Doesn't make me one bit better than a guy living in the slum. Just luckier. Don't have to dodge bullets, either, but that's another story. But it's also quite unacceptable to run from your problems. Don't allow yourself to be beatdown by anyone, including parents.
Go Vince!
That's quite right. We all go into periods where we get down and trust me, the urge to run away doesn't stop when you become an adult. Just ask any adult. If they are honest, they will tell the same. But we don't run...we stick and stay. We talk to our friends...we hang in and see it to it's end. I'm proud of you, and sure you will do well.
you're not you can do better you're smarter than this
See sweetie, this shows they actually think highly of you If they thought you were stupid they would not bother. and they obviously don¡'t
¿Te hables español?
Oh yeah, only problem is, I say that I'm doing my best and then they say no you're not you can do better you're smarter than this. And I am smart but I've been struggling lately because I take really advanced classes.
