Dear Advice Blog,
I have a ton of end of the year school work and i’m really stressed out about it. My mom keeps telling me that I should work harder and harder but i’m already trying my hardest. My father says the same. I’m just really concerned that i wont be able to do as well as they want me to.

Dear Stressed,
Life is to short to live up to the expectations of others. Do what you can, don’t push yourself any further than what you feel you can handle. Instead of making things better for you, your parents are making it worse. Stress is possibly the worst thing that a human can have, stress has so many side affects… so when you are feeling overwhelmed, take a breath and remember why you are working hard… then do something relaxing for a while, then continue working at your own pace. Best advice for this is to RELAX and try to remain stress-free.
