Recently, I have entered a school with extremely high standards and high standing, and I am falling behind. I was in honors math, but I have a high chance getting out of it next year as well as not being able to score above a B+ in any subject. My parents, however, are causing me the most problems. They accuse me of not trying at all while I study atleast 4 hours a day, they hardly ever talk to me at all and if they do it is to put me down and say that they have pampered me or that I am worthless. They continuously tell me to get out of school if I can't handle it and find a job. Recently they have grounded me, but that has hardly made an impact at all because I spend all my free time studying to get better grades to liven up the mood, and my grades are increasing, though very slowly. My parents still dont care about this improvement and I never talk back to them when they pout against me, as it will only fuel them further with things to accuse me against, and waste studying time. My parents cause me so much frustration that I have massive headaches almost to a chronic extent and my chest has recently started tightening at random moments whenever I feel angry or frustrated. What should I do??

Its not that I haven't thought of the improvement or that my parents aren't seeing it, it is the fact that I am afraid to talk about that subject to them. My parents have used physical force and the only reason I avoid it is with passive talking.
