Pressure from Parents
Alex: My parents have been putting a lot of pressure on me lately.
Ryan: Really? What happened?
Alex: They keep telling me to study harder, even when I’m already doing my best.

Alex: Same here. Sometimes I feel like they don’t trust me at all.

Ryan: Have you ever tried telling them how you really feel?
