I know most people would want to be like me but the thing is im soooo stressed i sleep about 3-4 hours, i do my homework in other lessons, i cant concenrate in class and my parents are really controlling. im not really sure what to do when i try to tell my mum im not sleeping well she just tells me to go to bed earlier which is not helping at all. Im constantly yawning and people think its because im bored off them talking which is not the case at all. im not really sure what to do coz i keep having to try harder to please everyone which is realllly hard and sometimes i think im just going to faint. any ideas what to do???

 Seems like you are having a hard time and that there isn't a lot of people that you can confide that into and I completely understand. I come from an asian family so my parents raised me to get the best grades, best classes, etc. I know how that stress feels like especially when it comes from your parents. After this one church retreat I went to, I felt obliged to talk to my mom.. one on one. That talk changed everything! I sat down and told her to not talk while I was speaking and to listen to what I had to say before she did and she agreed. After, I just started to share what was going on in my life, the stress, the pressure.. and I opened up to her. To be honest, I don't know how she took it in or if she understood most of it anyways, but I tried and she saw that attempt and changed. She realized that she was part of the source of my stress so she eased off a lot.
just talk to your mom and I promise you that it will change. You need to open up to her first in order for the change that you want.
