Me (13 female) have strict parents especially when it comes to grades ,they fear if I get between 80-90 it has to 90+.I always think they exaggerate about that but I ignored it.Yet.This week I've gotten non-acceptable grades per exemple I got an 82% in English ,my mom was furious.She started saying "Why do you always think thats a good grade?You need to get higher ,you hear me?.Go study,NOW!" Sometimes she even says "If you dare come with a bad grade...."which makes me feel stressed out and pressured to get perfection.Shes done this many times this past months.Today I got a result on a small test in maths that is worth nothing,I got 83% on it.When I told my mom she went on the same thing talking,talking and talking some random sh*t that im not good need to be better, insults bla-bla-bla.I've got enough so I told her in a demanding strong voice "Can you shut for once in your life?.She gasped in horror and said "Who are you talking to young lady?!",my dad sitting on the couch eating a piece of cake dropping history to the ground."How dare you talk to YOU'RE mother like that, back in my day when I was kid I would never say such thing!Go to your room you're grounded.FOR 2 WEEKS!".I went back to my room and they were whispering about me .

I feel very guilty and bad for my mother, it feels like I've betrayed her.Maybe I should've told her to stop even if I know she wouldn't listen anyways...AITAH or not?How should I have dealed with it ?AITAH?
