about

Hey, My name is Mandy Marie. I'm an Australian and always will be one. I still own the accent, but I live in the US. I recently just moved from Miami Beach to New York City.



I like : Long walks, cars, paintball, hockey, football, painting, drawling, designing, sculptures, sewing, gum, guys, animals, surfing, bungee jumping, sky diving, pizza, fries, movies, I like throwing gum at the walls and laughing so hard it hurts my stomach, I love to sing in the shower, dance on the highway, cuddling, hugging, kissing, talking, I love to run up and down the stairs, get kicked out of stores, to go to a restaurant and bring my own food, I like to make a nice tropical drink, I like to stare at the stars, to hold hands, to just drive around not knowing where I'm going, to take road trips.



I want: to own my own sex shop called "Getting Freaky in the Basement" or just pretend I have one.



I am: really nice, I promise! I will do my best to help you. I've been through murders, deaths, abusive relationships, eating disorders, breakups, losing my family and my friends, giving up something you have your heart set on. Please ask me whatever you want. I will always listen to you and I respect whatever decision you make.



For more about me: A survey. Yessss! (You have got to be so bored by now. Half of you haven't even read this far..)

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

What your parents need to understand is that YOU are NOT your sister. That is a lot for you to live up to! Getting straight A's and graduating second in her class is great, but it's not you. You can do that, but it takes a lot of work! And right now grades can't be your most concern. You probably don't have a lot of free time to hang out with friends and such. Your parents are expecting too much from you. You need to be heard and let them know that.


Try to sit down with your parents at dinner, or some place where they can't get up and leave right away. Maybe you can explain to them that you are trying really hard to maintain good grades, but you are not your sister and you can't be expected to have the same level of skills as she. Tell them you know they love you, and they want what is best for you. You want that too, but you need a break here and there. Explain to them that you can't pass every test because there are some chapters of the unit that you just don't get as well as the others.


Here comes the most important part: let them know you are willing to change this. Maybe you are just in a much higher advanced class than you should be and you should see if you can change that. After all babe, you're only in 9th grade and you're in 11th garde classes. Back it down a little. See if that's okay with them. If it's too late this year, try for next year. There is nothing wrong with that either! Would it be better to fail an advanced class or get an A in a class that a student your age should be in? If that doesn't work, tell them you learned from this marking period. And if you don't understand a subject you will seek extra help whether it be asking the teacher, or studying hard.


Back to the expectations. Tell them that you are going to try your best, but straight A's are very hard. And you'll try to get them, but for if some reason you can't get straight A's you know that you put as much effort in to it as you could have. Tell them they need to support you on this, and understand that you are not perfect. You won't be a failure in life, you'e going to try to achieve whatever you want and get the most out of life. That should get their attention. And if it doesn't, you should try to get the teacher to talk to them, or someone who will make them listen. Don't stress over this, if you're doing the best you can do, that's all that matters. Give yourself the confidence you need to realize that this is your future, not your parents. Do what you think is good enough for you! Okay? =D

Love,
Mandee
