This paper explores how young people from the financial and cultural middle classes in Norway experience school stress and their parents' values and practices concerning school achievement. Based on interviews with 53 boys and girls, aged 15–17, the study identifies 2 narratives. The first narrative is told by youth from the financial middle classes. They talk about their parents' explicit demands, and tie the parental pressure to their achievement-related mental health problems. The second narrative describes a ceaseless self-drive, told by youth mainly from the cultural middle class. They portray their parents' expectations as implicit rather than explicit, and they see mental health problems as achievement related – but not related to their parents. In both narratives, however, self-worth relies on achievement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
