Hello me (16F) and my twin sister (16F) are both juniors in high-school. We are both great student in school and have good grades. Specifically my twin sister, she has all AP classes while in three clubs. But meanwhile I’m just in one AP class and in regular classes, while in two clubs. My sister is really hard on herself about school and always talks about it. Which is fine, but it gets to a certain point. Our freshman year she was a hard working student but too hard on herself, letting herself have time for herself. Sophomore year is where she started becoming more hard on herself, she chose to sign up for 3 AP classes while becoming a secretary for a club. At first I didn’t really care, I mean school is important. So I didn’t see the problem, but then she slowly started doing her assignments until 7pm maybe even 8pm every single day. Which she didn’t have to because she did her assignments ahead of time which was her choice. But it got to a certain point where she’d be crying some nights since all her work overwhelmed her. She’d then be worrying about school on weekends, school breaks, etc. Keep in mind my parents aren’t hard on us at all, they tell us to just pass class and they’re fine with that. My parents sometimes thought of the idea of bringing her to a psychologist but never have. Since ever since she was little she has been wanting things to be perfect and how she wants it. Such as when we were in 3rd grade, she’d go downstairs to see if her backpack was in the same position and same spot as it was hours ago. If not she’d get irritated and put it how she’d want/like. There’s many other situations like that where my parents would tell me and wonder if she does have something. Back to current day we are juniors now and she has three AP classes while choosing to pick four AP classes our junior year. Today she was in our parents room practicing and working on an assignment for 5 hours with no break. Now after she took a nap she’s been for 10 minutes crying saying “she used to be so ahead in life and now she’s so behind”. Now she’s back in my parent’s room doing more work from school after doing work for 5 hours today. She has great grades by the way all A’s, she even gets mad when she has a 94% grade. Which is fine, but she gets hard on herself about it. Now I’m just worried that she’s gonna burn herself out next school year (senior year), she has three AP classes this year. My sister is constantly hard on herself about grades, my parents have already talked to her about this. Telling her she should see a doctor but she cried and says no. I’m getting sick of seeing my sister burning herself out while being a perfectionist on herself and her work every single day. Would I be the asshole to give my parents the push to her seeing a psychologist?
