Im at the bottom of my school cause im so dumb 🥲

literally relate to this song

🦋♡

I wanted to be the top of our class but im always in the second place.

1:29 i am not gifted or anything, but as a student whonis willing to get to college and just pass I can relate to this

i'm the youngest, and i have to be the smart one because all of my older siblings either didnt choose very academic paths or had trouble in school and got kicked out. nowhere near the top of my school but i'll have to be.

I was the super smart gifted kid and then i burnt out and had a life crisis in season 11-14 and now im completely useless to society 😀

i used to be a kid who had natural smarts- that was until school actually needed more thinking and less plain logical deductions. Now I'm requesting a math tutor, having emotional breakdowns, and awake at 1:19am writing fanfiction because I finally finished all my current assignments. ignoring my forensics final. oh well. i need a break.

Being a top student seems to be a dream come true, something cool, something that would make you feel better; but not until you are there would you truly know how hard and exhausting it was. I am one of those "top students" and while comments such as "don't perfect the exam" or "let us answer during recitation" may seem flattering, they unintentionally create pressure on us by setting the standard high which leaves us no choice but to strive for it, because a failure while being a "top student" can easily lead to disappointments, criticism, and discredit. "Before others seem to beat you easily, who knows how much effort they have made in private"

As an honor student, I can relate to this song, I was always unsatisfied with my grades and wanted to imrpove more, so i pressured myself to study until i faint from hunger, i torture myself when i get something wrong, Right now im studying to be an honor student getting like a 94 or 95 average.

Oh i love this song now

So relatable at 21 . I’m currently on college and am the first to go on my dads side of the family

PAGOD NA PAGOD NA AKO PLEASE

Honestly being a "gifted kid" isn't always something positive As someone who was in the top of my classes, expectations really do get to you over time, especially if you need glasses or contacts for some reason later down the line (at least in my experience) It kinda traumatizes a person

I know that I'm doing my best!!!

kinda my song

I feel this pressure cause I love getting praise from my parents cause I barely get any. And when I do get some it seems fake.

Most relatable song 😢

I was in the honors program for gifted students all throughout my life. In there I was the top student. I almost always got the highest score in every test. My grades were perfect. But with being so called “gifted” also came with very high expectations from those around me. Everyone would know me for being academically brilliant, especially in science and math. Many people thought I would become a scientist, a doctor or a professor or something. But I don’t want to be any of those things. I don’t even like math or science much, I’m just very good at them because of how much I study. Instead I’d like to be a playwright and a performer because I’m very into theatre. But unfortunately in my country theatre isn’t cared about, at all. Whenever I tell people about my dream they’re like “It would be better if you do something with science and math.” “Science can take you to better places in life.” I honestly have no intention on studying anything related to math or science past high school. I intend on studying so much that I get accepted to a great university for drama in the UK or in US. But I feel this immense pressure on me. I feel like if I follow my dream I would be seen as a “failed genius”. My family wants me to be a scientist as well. Because both my parents are scientists and their parents were also scientists, my parents friends are also scientists. They’ve also spent a lot of money for my tutoring classes, my textbooks and I don’t want to disappoint them. I’m also an only child so I feel like I have to make them proud. There is also the loneliness that comes with it. I have no friends. That might not sound like a problem but it is. All I want is a single friend who understands me. I often fantasize about having friends, I write about it as well, it’s kinda like an escape for me. Despite being in the same high school for one and a half years (I’m currently in the 10th grade), all people talk to me is about how my grades are. I also get some very jealous treatment from others, sometimes verbal bullying, because I didn’t share my answers with them and quote “think I’m so much better than them.”, when I really don’t. There’s a bit of popularity that comes with it as well but I have no actual friends. I tried to make friends before but everyone’s in their individual friend groups and it’s very hard to just “blend in”. I sometimes wish I never tried so hard in school, and was only seen for my creativity for writing and acting. Maybe then people wouldn’t see me just as the “smartest girl in school”. But on the bright side my journey isn’t over yet. If I get into my dream university when I graduate I feel like I can finally be seen as me instead of “the smartest girl in school”. I haven’t told my parents about my dreams yet but they’re great parents. They probably won’t agree with my future decisions but they will try to be supportive.

I relate to this it reminds me of b4 I used to be an over achiever and soon got tired and tired and burnt out, depressed, etc. I soon d3veloped many mental illness, i got tired of it and was on freeze response for 2 yrs i was just on the loop of waking up at 3 eating, laying on the couch with my phone, disassociate, sleep(or not but still not doing anything), get scolded, forced to do hw, gets even more stressed which makes it even harder to do then i just go on my phone, heal other ppl mentally, and distract myself until 5am (if i got caught b4 that then i just overthink and cry or just numb until 5 am. But I changed now, i snapped out of my freeze response.

its so relatable to student like me and had sister who got scholarship while cant even understand all subject

When I'm the always 1st honor but now I'm trying to best to achieve again😭

Before when i was in my elementary days, i always think and dream having a high grade. Sabi ko it was very impossible, my grade before was always 78-83 and never experience having 85+ but when i turn highschool there's a lot of changes, I become the top of class, consistent, every year, I was too afraid having a 85 below. And so i strived, up until know in my senior year, i did not expect that my lowest can be the highest of fellow students. But still disappointed. :((

I'm doing everything I can to make my parents proud, but I suppose it's still not the best.

I listen to this the night i study for my big exams and 2 weeks later i got the best student awards🙂 Like dude my picture will be put in my school banner next year☺️

I was always an honor student, no doubt, my siblings are all successful, top of their class, etc. But even though I still get honors, I never seem to make it to the top, and it honestly always makes me think and compare myself to my siblings. "I'll never be like them, I'm not smart enough, I should do better. No, I need to try harder." Which eventually ends up with me getting burnt out and overall, just exhausted, it's hard keeping up. My oldest sister is a MedTech, my brother is an English teacher, and my sister is always top of her school. I'll never achieve what they have, and it hurts to know, barely anything I do makes anything proud because the expectations of me are always too high. I'm expected to be flawless, perfect, a genius, but I'm not that, and I just wish I could be someone better, I wish my limits were higher.

I can relate to this song so much, while i wasn’t really a STAR student, i was a really good student, never a missing assignment and always ahead of my game, but now that I’m finally at my own level everything is so much harder, I’m pretty sure my parents don’t want to believe i might have something with mental illness, but it’s so hard to keep up, I’ve had straight A’s all my life and now everything is just so hard, i try to keep ahead and keep falling back.

im literally crying rn

I feel like this relates to a whole lot of people. But who it relates to know that you are always doing great no matter what!

While reading the comments, I've noticed that people have talked about their siblings being the top student. For me it's the opposite. Because my brother is a troublemaker and everyone thinks it's because he has Aspergers, when I joined his school, and I have autism, everyone expected me to be this wild, crazy dude who constantly acted out. No, because he doesn't focus on his studies- and because I just transferred from a private school- all the pressure is on me at home to be the best in the family. Heck, the only reason I was allowed to get a boyfriend was because my grades are so high. Jesus. I am so sorry for anyone who gets pressured because they have relation to a top students/high achiever

Top of my school. I am a quiet student currently waiting for a chance to be able to sing this in front of everyone 😅

honestly i think its not about being top of your school nor class its just that student now days are so pressured cuz of many expectation and those top students are afraid to loose their position and i understand well how it feels to loose an honor and it sucks honestly im envious of those student who gets tops or honor with pure talent ofc we cant say they didnt do anything but sometimes it just feels like no matter how much you try you'll never catch up to them and we only end up being burnt out

"What if i hadn't earned a dollar?, what would you think of your dear " daughter. "

in my opinion, this song is kinda made for asians bc asian parents are hard to be proud..

Bro these are the standards I hold myself to- but my mom's always been pretty lenient with my grades. I guess it's just because I find my amount of knowledge or incapacity to understand certain social situations has lead me to overcompensate via usefulness and being "smart" when in reality I feel disconnected from everyone else because of it- I'm snarky, sarcastic, and typically just a demeaning person- but it's usually just for entertainment purposes because it's an easy way to fit in with the crowd. Anyone else deal with this?

I came from a valedictorian student to just a student..,

im still listening to this song even its 2022 already ^^

My Granddaughter is top of her school and im very proud of her she works hard day and night

i really really love this song ughhhh❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

i was listening to oh no by marina and someone suggested this in the comments and… oh. my. god. I DONT THINK I HAVE EVER RELATED TO SOMETHING SO MUCH IN MY LIFE😭

As a high achiever, I this is officially my comfort song

Pag nakita mo to mikay suntukan

Finally a song about school pressure, I've been looking forever for one. Thank u ♡ it's such a good song

As a firstborn, I was frustrated because we were not wealthy, but rather ordinary. We don't have a house and live with relatives because both of our parents are far away; my mother works abroad and my father has his own family. They merely gave my sister and myself money because we were the only ones remaining. Yes, I respect their efforts, but I vow myself that I will not be like them. I won't have a child unless I'm wealthy and responsible enough to care for them. because life is so difficult in this world You are unable to concentrate on your studies because you do not have enough money to eat or pay your bills. praying that one day all of this suffering and sorrow will be over...
