Hi Grace    As a student of your age I understand your situation. Here are some tips for you. First of all you should understand your parents. They are strict with you because they expect you to be admitted into an excellent university. But I don’t think it is wise for them to demand that you should rank top ten in your grade. Actually there are many parents just like your mum and dad always expecting their children to stand out among their classmates. If you feel too stressed I advise to communicate with your parents or write them a letter telling them how you are feeling now and that you will try your best to improve your studies. I think they can understand you better and won’t push you too hard.     Hope my ideas will work.                                                              Li Hua
