U know how much parents desire for their kids?

ALOT..

and sometimes, the kids just don't understand why the parents are so hard on them?

simple..
Results matters...

Parents use results as a measure of how well/hardworking their kids have been..

if the kids don't do well, it's an assumption that the kid just plays too much..
that the kid has been involved in too many other things and thus loses focus on studies..

I guess the child has already been so demoralised by herself from her results already, that she just can't be bothered about how her parents react..

It's not that the child didn't want to get that kind of results.. but what can she do now?
She promised herself to work harder already, and she longs to please her parents.. because that's all her parents see.. RESULTS..

"I'm very disappointed in you. You are not going to church anymore. You are not going out anymore."

Do you know how hurtful and scary that can be to her?
