How can I get my parents to stop nagging me about homework?

I'm a pretty good student, get mostly B's and A's, and I work hard. But my parents don't think I work hard enough. How can I get them off my back?

# of Thumbs Up Received (1)		 Why dont you just sit them down and talk to them itll do both you and your parents some good and it might bring you even closer and make a stronger bond with your parents. now a question for you do you think if your parents stop nagging you as much as they do that you would stop trying and working at all because that is what tends to happen so just talk to them and tell them how you feel because they will never know unless you tell them...

# of Thumbs Up Received (1)		 Well one thing I would do is to come in the house, sit at the table so they could see that I'm doing my work and then when I'm finished I would show them what I did and how I did the homework.

They probably think you are capable of that, or they wouldn't be pushing you. Or maybe they're seeing that sometimes, you don't study for a test or finish your homework and they don't find that acceptable. You say you're a "pretty good" student so it sounds as if you might even think you could do even better.
It might help if you asked your parents just what they expect -- and come up together with a game plan that works for both you and them. Ultimately, you're the one who has to do the work, but maybe they'd like to have a better idea of what you're working on and what you're learning. Talking the problem out together is always a huge part of reaching a solution.
Good luck!
