Why do high school students put so much unnecessary pressure on themselves to be perfect?

For example, if they got a 99 on a test, they treat it like a failure because it wasn’t 100, while anyone else would be extremely happy with it. And report cards too, if they got straight A’s, but not every A was an A+, it’s a failure in their eyes. Now honestly, what college would not accept your application just because you fell short of a 4.0 GPA and got a 3.9?
