Ok, here's the thing...

I am a 14-year old rising Freshman, and I feel like I can do nothing to appease my parents. I would like some advice from parents and other sons/daughters on what to do. Here is my problem:

I started my eight grade year really crushing school. I was a shoe-in for a highly esteemed magnet high school that had one of the best mathematics/science programs in the country. I was getting straight A's, 100's on every test, never missing one homework assignment, doing everything I could to push my grade ABOVE a 100% (i.e. extra credits at every turn). Amazingly enough, my parents were not satisfied. They said that I needed to get more of a social life, because they didn't want me to burn out in college like many other excellent students do. I said "ok" and became one of the most admired and popular kid in school with a girlfriend who is 16 and extrordinarilly hot. The answered my change of lifestyle by saying that I needed to participate more in sports, k? So now I'm the starting point gaurd for my Division 1 travel team, averaging 18 points a game. I am also first-string middie on my lacrosse A-team, averaging 5 goals a game. On swim team I hold league records for free and fly. Parents are still unhappy. Now I would like to ask one question of all you parents out there... WHAT THE F*CK MORE DO THEY WANT??!! Seriously! I figure I should just ignore them now, I can't think of anything more I should do. I don't mean to sound like a whiny little bitch, but no one I have asked has given me sound advice, so I wanted to try the IW forums
