Do your parents pressure u to do well in school or sports (lax)

[X-FACTOR]

My parents encourage me to do well in school but dont usaually pressure me in lax but i have some friends that have parents that pressure them to score more and play better than anyone else on the team.

[marflax33]

They dont care about sports, school is a must do good...

[X-FACTOR]

yah that is kinda what it is with me but if i dont do well in school they get upset

[whslax1990]

In the past I thought all they cared about was school. But now I have the suspicion that they want me to play lax and get a scholarship more than anything else, since acedemic scholarships are out of the question.

[X-FACTOR]

wow, my i didnt think my parents expected me to get a scolarship through lax but now that u mention it i think they might be pushing for it

[FallIntoIt]

mine definitely pressure me in school. Since they pay my tuition, they've got me in a grand ol' hold by the balls.

"3.0 each semester or your dorm next semester will be a bunk at Lackland AFB" (for the uninitiated, Lackland is the base where Air Force basic training takes place).

So, um. Yeah. They let me slide this semester, but my cumulative (which gets established at the end of next semester) must be over a 3.0, or hello Basic.

As for lacrosse.. they don't pressure me, per se. They tell me they want me to get better and do well, and never quit. But they come out to games to cheer me on, and boast to their friends about how their daughter plays lacrosse, etc.

[laxgoalieking]

as long as i pass everything they dont have very high expectations. as for lacrosse they want to do the best i can

[X-FACTOR]

thats the way i think parents should be

[EaglesLax22]

mine dont really care that much bout lax they want me to do good and stuff but there not all mad at me if i do bad or anything in school my parents dont care to much like B's and A's they want me too get but if i get a C they usually dont freak out

[aussielax]

My Parents are very involved with my lacrosse and my dad still plays and my mum only gave up a year or two ago so they understand lacrosse but they defenatley put more presure on me to do well in school than do to perform on the lacrosse feild.

[_lax4life_]

MOST parents emphasize getting an eduaction and doing well in school. My parents expect me to get into top colleges... which isnt happening.... They want to support me in everything i do, weather it be lax or something else. If i get a C this quarter im screwed and i think i got 2.....

[Palmettolax45]

my parents care more about school than sports but my dad wants me to excell in lax but they really dont care about scolarships as long as i get into University of Florida (good school even though im a canes fan) i have prepaid and florida has a academic scolarship for all florida public schools that i will probably qualify for (as long as i dont fail highly unlikely) so college for me if i go to any public college in Florida is free but i want to go somewhere else and if i do then they want me to get a lax scolorship but i still got 3 1/2 years to worry about that.

[LymanLax28]

They definitely pressure me more on my academics. While they do support me and want me to excel in lacrosse, they always tell me, "Lacrosse isn't going to pay for your college", which is probably true, most schools don't give out full rides for lax.

[UNCdefense]

my mom's really smart & like works for NASA over summer & all this crazy junk so she's always on my *** about school...like if i were to get all B's in all honors classes she'd get mad at me, at the very most i can have like 2 B's, i have to be in beta club & alpha theta club & all this crazy crap....she wants me to do well in lacrosse but school comes first

now my parents are divorced & my dad is the opposite, he's like as long as you try & didnt just give up.....as long as im passing he's happy, & with lacrosse he's always trying to give me advice & buy me new things & offer help...it's really hard to balance that crap out i've really gotta think about what i say before i speak

[tomahawks11]

they try to get me to do my best in everything i try

[Trilax03]

they try to get me to do my best in everything i try
yeah pretty much same here...school is a must but for lax i hav like a trainer and do select teams and stuff and they seem to back me up so that's good but sometimes i feel pressure to hav to do really well in a game or something by them but i guess it's ok

[lancer]

they just want me to do my best in everything

[HdGLaxWarrior]

I get C's in school and my parents are fine. Sports my dad is like chill. But my mom yells and it makes me crazy.

[Ram-X-manII]

MY mom doesn't really like me playing lax because she can't brag about it to her friends like she does about my football playing little brother. (Even though I'm waaaaay better at lax then he ever will be at football.)

[gigo567]

I'm doing fine in school so that means no pressure. And they don't pressure my in lacrosse because I am actually good at lacrosse.
No Pressure when you are good at what you are doing.

[longsticklax124]

My mom just encourages me to do well in sports and in school if i dont want to do sports its fine with her and if i dont do well in school she just tries to encourage me more she dosent punish me or anything and i think it works better that way cause punishment just nmakes me want to do something less!

[GBaschski]

My parents put 99% of their emphasis on school. If I get a C, they're very disappointed...if I get a D, I'm not allowed to play lacrosse until I pull it up. "I bet not even the top 10% of the lacrosse players in the state get to play in college. Those aren't very good odds." "You can't get a good scholarship for lacrosse, you need to focus on your grades."

They do support me in lacrosse, though, they come to all my games and cheer me on but not much more than that. My friend's dad is nuts when it comes to his son playing lacrosse...he's not one of those parents who force their kids to train or anything, but he buys him goals and bounce-backs and all the best equipment and trainers etc...That kid turned out to be a beastly lacrosse player so I'm slightly jealous.

[laxiceman]

No Pressure when you are good at what you are doing.

Same here, This year, in my freshman year of high school I'm getting a 4.0 so far and my parents are thrilled. Last year, though, I didn't work at all and got a few B and C grades on top of several A's. They got mad about that but now they don't care because I'm getting good grades. Now they let me do what I want during the day instead of telling me to go work on homework.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

They dont care about sports, school is a must do good...

Same thing with me. They don't care how I do in sports. They only care that I get good marks in school.

[whslax1990]

My brother just got out of lackland last year. Its really not a bad thing to get into the airforce, he could pretty much get hired for any computer or technical job. The airforce really does teach alot. Now I would be scared though if your parents were threating to send you to the army. But besides all that military is the prefect scholarsip into college, My brother got a free ride.

[NF Lax23----<o)]

I I get anything below a B- on anything no lax in the spring so yea, LOTS of pressure, I pull it off though. I get like A-'s on everything but I do slack off on the occasion. In lax my mom wants me to get a scholarshipp to a top school so she encourages me to get better. My dad is really into it, he's going to a coaches clinic to help coach my team this season, and he enrolls me in like every league, clinic, camp, team that is anywhere under an hour away.

[LaxBoy92]

my parents dont pressure me to do well in school and lax. i pressure myself.

[Talent223]

My parents want me to be the best I can be, so of course they pressure me. It's nothing too bad, but especially in school, if I get bad grades, I must get them up or I get stuff taken away. I also pressure myself.

Yeah, I respect those that go into the Air Force to pay for college for for their career... but it's not for me. You owe them four years after you graduate to repay them paying for your education, and I'd rather get started on my career (journalism and film) right away.

[RockfordAttack9]

My Parents pressure me in School a whole lot.

[sweet_ceX]

My parents say that my performance on the field refelcts on how I actually perform during school. It may be true. For that reason, I try to do my best in both.

[Monzo]

they don't pressure me that much, but when they do it's pressuring me to do well in school.

[BioPro29]

My parents want me to get good grades, but dont really pressure me. i still get A's. I actually wish they'd pressure me more to do well in lax, but no worries.

[goalieskcickay]

My rents are crazy intense about school. If I get below an A- in ANY subject, away with the ipod.
And they really don't care about athletics. They support me at games and whatnot, but don't pressure me at all to do well in them.

[Garor]

My parents just want me to be happy. Super layed back on everything. They support me, don't get me wrong, but they know I'll push myself harder than they could by pressuring me. They always say that there is no way you can get someone to work hard by forcing them. You have to make them love it. My grades are good and next year in college if I drop below a 3.4 I'll start loosing academic scholarship money, so there's pressure.

[ekajsk8er]

My dad's my coach so it wouldn't make sense if he didn't push me to do better in lax. The parentals are pretty strict about grades. They don't want me to mess up my life so they push me pretty hard.

[LowRida]

I pressure myself enough in sports so that takes any pressure off them to (irony?). They do care about my grades though.

my parents are the same way ; they definetly support me in everything i do but no pressure
they know i'll push myself harder to do what i love (and know what i need to play d1 lax)

Your parents are gods

[exile lacrosse]

i get zero pressure in the sports field, and only some in the scholarly field. mostly in the forms of "you better bring your grade up in [this class]" when we get intirims then i barely hear about it again

[robi]

I get negative pressure about sports from my mom, especially lacrosse, which she thinks I practice too much. My dad gives zero pressure but I guess he still supports me by letting me buy equipment and stuff and letting me practice in the basement. Both of them are really really pressuring me to do well in school though and they want to see me in Harvard or somewhere like that.

[skip0l]

in highschool i got a ridiculous amount of pressure for golf. i was the best on my team and if we were in a specified division would've been all state, but i got tons of pressure to do well to help pay for college.

[xSURFERx]

my rents pressure me in school but dont have very high expectations for me anymore. the push lax alittle, just to keep me playing, but not like they do surfing. my rents would do anything and pay for plane tickets for me to go to puerto rico and stuff, witch i find alittle odd, scince there isnt surfing scholoarships.....wierd

[MeTHLax18]

my parents pressure me to do good in school and put lacrosse 2nd
but they dont forget about lacrosse cause they want me to go to a good college and all

[Laxin2266]

My parents are good about the pressure thing. They let me slide thru middle school but now im HS the have explained to me how this is the real deal now and I need to do well. They support me through lax, they pretty much donate there summers to my lacrosse career, but with that they want me to do well in school.

But what is most important to them is how I handle myslef as a person, and being a good kid and having moral values.

[PhilWings24]

very much in school, because my homework average usually hovers around 50%. if i were getting 100%, i'd be straight a-ish, instead i'm mr. mediocre.

[Garor]

Your parents are gods


What they lack in one area they make up for in others. My parents are safety freaks and worry about everything.

[laxn]

My dad was a varsity bbal player at Cornell, and he expects me to balance academics and sports and excell in both. Rediculous I kno but if he did it...

[SachemsGoalie40]

my rents want me to do good in school because my older brother set the bar high for me, but i slack and get b's, as for sports my dad says "i don't pressure you to do anything and will respect what you do" but i know that if i gave up a sport like lacrosse he would be really upset because i've been playing lax for 6 years and football for 10 years but my mom could care less about sports

[zak]

They let me slide thru middle school but now im HS the have explained to me how this is the real deal now and I need to do well.

Funny, they want you to have morals, but it sounds like theyre lying to you my friend.

My mom doesnt care about lacrosse, and is starting to care less about school. Its pretty tight.

[sammyduelist]

they dont really care how well i do in sports really, they just want me to do better in school, thats what they are more concerned about

[LaxAttackDonny]

my parents done care or at least dont act if they do, they never come to any of my games or meets, unfortunately. even though im a varsity captain this year, i still dont expect them to come to that many games, but now that the games are at night, maybe a few games, but since i can drive myself, they probably wont see a point.

[CTlaxHead]

My parents emphasis school but also lacrosse.

I usually keep around a 3.7-4.0 avergae in school. So they don't really worry to begin with.

[James]

My parents could care less about lacrosse but School thats a different story they expect me to get at least a 3.5
