Why doesn't my dad ever want to admit my improvements and really comes down...

...on my faults, he contradicts also? Btw I do love him. I am not a perfect person by any means and know that I never can be. I try to improve, but every time I feel like I accomplish something (even if its just a small improvement), he pulls my self esteem down several notches. He told me I'm not active in school, I joined a pre health club and constantly told him and my mom about it throughout the semester (I attended every week for 2 hours). During an end of the semester lecture he told me that I wasn't involved in anything, it was news to him that I had actually joined a club (he was not joking he was genuinely surprised even though I had discussed stuff about the club during dinner. I now wash dishes after myself, but he always says I'm lazy and I don't (I can longer be comforted by me knowing that I do wash dishes after myself). If I do well in a class it because its easy and if I do bad the class is easy and I should get an A.
I had a $hitty teacher last semester. When I told him about her he's like don't argue with her just get your grade (I failed anyways). At the end of the semester my dad was angry with me for not debating with her. So ya I'm extremely confused because I feel like I'll never please him, plus I suffer from a low self esteem and my dad doesn't help any even though he know about. What do I do?
he always says I have nothing to show for myself, that if I did drugs I would have at least something to show. That even a druggie has something to show for themselves.
