HELP ME!! ASAP!
Dr_Chad answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 7:39 pm: There's nothing you can do now. You missed your chance. But don't blame your sister--she has your best interest at heart. She feels you need to learn discipline and Christian values. She gave you a chance to improve your grades, and you apparently chose not to take her seriously. This school will teach you the importance of self-discipline, so that the next time somebody gives you a chance, you'll know enough to take it. Fasten your seatbelt.
caden answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 4:33 pm: This may sound wierd but, actualy you should thank her. You'll make great friends and people won't judge you by how you look and what you wear. If you want to stay because of your recent friends, exchange email adresses, phone numbers, ect. But I think you will enjoy christian school.
If you'r not convinced, try asking her for another week or two to improve your grades, and if you have something that you find difficult, you can ask anyone, even your sister. [ caden's advice column | Ask caden A Question ]

Tell her that you will try harder and get help from teachers. And ask for a planner. I know it sounds babiesh but ask every teacher to sign it at the end of class proving that your a good student every day. And do all your homework and study and make shure none of it goes unnoticed! I hope I helped you

I go to a Christian school, and honestly, it's not exactly the worst thing in the world, but if you really don't want to, keep trying to prove that you'll work harder. If she still says no, then you're gonna have to deal with it. I was soo mad and upset when I had to leave my school to go to the one I have now, but after awhile it got better and I made friends. Now I'm so happy, 'cause I have the bestest friends anyone could ever ask for. I'm so thankful now, even though I felt like hurting someone when I first found out (lol thank God I didn't) I had to leave my school. Good luck!!!

The best thing is to study real hard and try your best an then you wont have to go. Have her check your homework so she knows that your doing it and she can tell you if your doing anything wrong [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
MrsNautica answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 2:52 pm: Ask her to give you another chance, seriously make an effort to bring your grades up before the end of the semester then if you dont then she can move you to a christian school.
try studying with a group of friends at your house like a study party or something. have all your friends bring a snack and take turns helping each other out. afterward watch a cool movie then you make studying easy and fun.
if that doesnt work christian school is seriously not that bad the girl clothes are kinda cute and when you get to go to public school it will be soooo much easier. [ MrsNautica's advice column | Ask MrsNautica A Question ]
dancinchikita answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 2:19 pm: between now and the time you have to go study and try and improove your grades really hard! try to show your sister that you care. try not to do anything with friends ont the weekdays. then if your sister is still not happy with your grades and somehow has not noticed your effort sit her down and try to talk to about everything. maybe she wants you to get into a really good college and if you dont have good grades you cant get in. explain everthing to her and have her explain all her reasons too! hope i helped, jess [ dancinchikita's advice column | Ask dancinchikita A Question ]
