Really Bad Grade
Okay, lately in school I've been kinda failing. But within the past week I've brought some of my grades from an "F" to a "C" or "D". But, my mom says that if I have any "F"s on my next grade report I can't go on to high school next year. Even though I still have 1 more trimester left. I have 1 "F" and there is no possible way to bring it up because my next grade report comes out next week and the teachers had to turn their grades in yesterday. I really want to go on to high school but I won't be able to with this "F". What should I do?

Get a tutor or spend more time reading your text books. Make sure you listen to absomlutley EVERYTHING the teacher has to say because they are there to teach you. Try not to day dream so much.

First thing, go talk to your teachers -- especially the one who gave you the F. Explain to them that you're really concerned about bringing your grades up, and ask them what you can do to improve. They may give you some extra credit work to bring your grades up for this last trimester, but I wouldn't count on that; more importantly, you all may be able to come with a concrete plan to improve your work for the coming trimester. Tutoring would probably help, but they might have other good ideas.
Then, when your grade report comes out next week, you'll have something to tell your mom *besides* just showing her the F. She'll be a lot less likely to flip out if she sees that you've already taken action to do better. You need to take responsibility for your own performance before you're ready for high school, and this is a good way of proving to her that you can do that. If she still doesn't see it your way, though, work really hard till the end of the year, then have her meet with your teachers. If they think you're capable of moving on to high school, and can say good things about how hard you've worked, she's unlikely to disagree with them.

I think it's pretty crappy that your mom won't let you go to high school. Doesn't she realize you can't get anywhere in life without a high school education? Talk to your guidance counselors to get involved in this situation. You need to push the issue- if you drop out of school, your opportunities down the road are going to be very limited.

Well, just bring them all up to A's for your report card, since this just a grade report. I am sure that if you have an awesome report card that she'll reconsider and everything will be ok. Make grades your first priority.

Hi there!
I'm glad I found you!
Ok, maybe you should study a little bit harder when you have time and try your best on the day.
Also I think you should talk to your mum about it because it wouldn't be really fair to leave school just for low grades that aren't really that bad.
I hope I helped

A trimester is enough time to bring your grade up. High school is a bit strict with entry requirements, so yes you might get held back if you get any more F's because it all becomes averaged into a final grade at the end of the school year and you wouldn't want an F for your average. There are a few options you can do..
1) study harder
2) have a friend help you with the work
3) summer school

First I doubt she isn't not going to let you go to high school. And second just work ten times harder on what your failing im sure its not that hard to pass.
