I am 14, female int he 9th grade. I'm also usually a straight A student. My sister graduated 2nd in her class. She recieved an full scholorship to the college she attends. My brother was expelled in 11th grade. My parents had stressed how important grades were, I agreed to an extent. Working my butt off to earn straight A' and a high GPA. This Marking Period. I am in Algebra 2(normally a 11th grade class) and French 1. I was doing okay in Algebra untill I failed a quiz and recieved a 80% on a unit test. This brings my grade to 88.5%, the MP ends in 3 days. no way i can bring that up. in french, i got a 70% on the Unit test. I failed most the tests in their. But my grades were usually up. Now I face the problem of having 2B's (a possible C) on my usually perfect report card. I told my mother this afternoon and she shook her head and simply said "Shit *insert name*". She then turned and walked away.
I WORK MY BUTT OF IN SCHOOL. I'm taking all Honors and the most difficult classes. I can't be perfect like my sister, I can't always get straight A's. How do I tell my parents this respectfully. ??I'm sorry It's such a long question.:-/ Help

First off: dont your b's round up to A's since theyre honors...? thats how it is at my school...? And just tell your parents that you ARE not you sister! and that at least youre not your brother! You do better than normal kids all accross america! and tell them that you will bring it up for next time, and that you tried your hardest and thats all that matters! and stress the fact that this is just one time. And by the time the semester comes you can bring everything up, and tell them that youre gonna talk to the teachers and ask for extra credit (and do that too) then your parents will know that ure really affected by you grades and you want to do well in school! Everything will be fine... this is just one time! And tell your parents not to cuss at you its not healthy for the child...
