They're still your parents but you are now their ADULT child. I didn't show my parents any of my grades. I made good grades, but still they took my word for it and never once asked for "proof". I'd tell them to call your school's records department to inquire about your grades, if they want to know your achievement. They'll be refused access, and the reason will be explained to them. I know it's hard for you (standing up for yourself), but your parents do seem to put a LOT of pressure on you and that isn't good for your mental health. Cultural norms don't matter.
When you turned 18, a lot of things changed for you legally but they are ignoring this fact.
My mother has direct access to my account where she can check my grades herself. She has a notebook with the passwords to any account I have for everything from my phone, to my email, to random online games I did when I was 10 lol.
I know Im
technically a legal adult, but that really doesnt mean much other than being able to vote and the possibility of jury duty. They still pay for my education, insurance, phone, car, horse, health care, etc. So....they have the potential to leave me homeless without a phone or car or anything because everything I own they technically bought for me. My mother is in charge of my bank account, so I wouldnt have money either because Im only allowed to keep certain amounts of cash on me. Until I graduate college and move out, I am still under their control. The whole "Im the parent, you're the child" and "You live under my house, you follow my rules". (Tho lets be honest- my brother lives on his own and has his own job and he still has to respect my parents rules as well)
Besides, why argue with them over something as simple as grades? I know what happens when I get a bad grade, its nothing new.
