Uhmm.. I am just going to share with you this conversation I had with my mother and my sibling. This is related to our past lesson, Communication Breakdown. I've been waiting for the perfect timing to tell my parents how I really feel when they compare me with others. It finally happened though I wasn't able to tell everything.
So I was telling my mother how hard the quiz was in Math. I told it na so they won't be surprised with my grades. I'm telling it while it's early. And also how low my quizzes in Filipino were. She told me, it's because I'm not studying, I do not read. It's not true. I study but not "sagaran" 'coz I might forget all and I don't want to "torture" myself. So I told her that it's the quiz that's really hard. She asked me why I'm not asking help from my teacher, why I don't ask them when I couldn't understand the lesson. I can't answer anymore, 'coz I'm not really asking :D. She's right na there. I was also telling and asking my sister about her experiences. Then later, my mom started asking questions about other people. If they are high, their scores, etc. And then my sister suddenly said why my mother is always comparing me with others. I was like, "oo nga naman!". And then my sister said, "lalong napre-pressure ang bata ee!". "Oo nga na naman!". My mother said she's not comparing. She's just asking that if they know the lesson, why don't I ask them. Then I said that she was comparing because she's asking their scores and all and it's evident on her tone. She even related her defense in a verse from the Bible and her relationship with my father. She said you should ask someone who's on the same track with you not someone who's taking the other path. And that's were our conversation ended.
I was able to let her know my feelings with the help of my sister and at the same time, I learned something from her. Isn't it nice??
