Amy’s Reply
Hi Lily,
I’m sorry to hear that. First, why don’t you write down your feelings Then, you could choose a calm moment to talk to your parents. How about saying, “I know you want me to do well, but comparing me to others makes me sad.” Remember, communication is key! Let’s meet this weekend if you need more help.
