Watching every move

I know that for many of us we feel pressured to take the hardest classes, get  perfect grades, and be the best person ever. For many we are being pressured by our parents. Some feel that extra layer of stress because we want to make them proud and happy. However this can be very hard. There is already enough pressure on us as it is. We stress ourselves out so much and then many of us have our parents right over our shoulders and that adds even more stress. We all know that our helicopter parents just want the best for us but when is the constant hovering too much? The pressure that they provide can help us to some extent. It makes us want to do our best and make them happy. I think that we are also more like to do better when we are trying to make someone else happy. However it can be very annoying, distracting and, stressful. with all that stacked on top of us we will not succeed. My parents don't hover over me. They never know what I'm working on for school unless I tell them. They don't pressure me to take the hardest classes. My parents trust me.  My parents never check my grades until a report card that actually matters comes home. As long as I keep good grades they are happy. I am really glad that they are that way they are because I can only imagine what it would be like having them on my every move.
What I just really want to know is who has helicopter parents and what is it like? Do you any of you appreciate having them watching your every move? And if you do have parents that hover how do you manage everything with someone watching your every movement?
