Look, you may hate your mom now if she doesnt let you play tennis or go out with the guy you like but shes doing this because she cares. If you did your best then tell her but hiding it from her only made it worse. Talk to her and maybe youll be able to play tennis if you keep your grades up. good luck ;)

don't let anyone make you feel bad for what you did.. shit happens

well I would apologize like no other..start being extra sweet and respectful to your mom and then tell her how you feel about this guy. If you haven't already you really should because mom's like to have a personal relationship with their daughter's.. i guess it makes them feel special or something haha but really tell her how you feel and that it's really important to you. Then tell her that you know you messed up with your grades but if she'll give you one more chance you KNOW you can make it work... and girl you better make it work. you need to ask your teachers for extra credit and go in early so they know you're trying hard. ((my teacher raised my grade 5 points just for coming in early to study)) if you really make a genuine effort to raise your grades and be trustworthy i'm sure your mom will forgive you and let you go out with this guy.

ps: if she already knows about your crush remind her about how much you like him..

if you have anymore questions just ask!! good luck!

The only way you'll get to be trusted and respected by your mom is to prove to her that you can play sports and hold up your grades at the same time. It's a hard job, but it can be done.

Right now, you have proven her wrong. You should have just shown her your grades and tell her that you'll start working harder. But then you lied and made her have to force it out of you. Start over with everything. Let this guy you like know that you are going to have to cancel your plans and don't worry about tennis.

Start working on your grades and prove to your mom that you can be responsible and trusted. You can't do that by failing and then still expecting a way to go with friends. Be mature and accept your consequences for these bad choices you've made.

You need to think about this from a different perspective. Namely, from your Mum's perspective.

You didn't do well at school, you lied to her about it and hid the report card that told her the truth. She has to go to see your Principal to find out what is going on, which she probably doesn't want to do and now you want to ask her for a favour.

I know this really isn't going to be what you want to hear and I'm sorry for that but the fact is that what you did was wrong and you might have to suffer the consequences on this occasion. If the tennis is a regular hobby you do with a coach or some other form of teacher, she may well let you go because you will be learning something. If it's a recreational activity you're doing with a friend you might have to kiss goodbye to it, I'm afraid.

Please try to bear in mind that although you might not be happy with the idea of extra tuition, if you're failing subjects, you need to make every effort to pull that grade up. It might not matter to you now but when you have left school, you will wish you had tried harder to improve when you had the chance. Please trust me on this because I left school nearly 4 years ago and I regret not trying harder (especially at maths which I was truly awful at) every day of my life. You might think it's a real pain and you possibly think it would be humiliating but you need to do whatever you can to be the best you can be, while you have the chance.

As for your Mum, she already knows all this and because she cares so much about you, this is why she wants to do something about it. The only thing you can do to rectify the situation now is to apologise to her for what you did, promise that you really will work harder at it and then knuckle down and do the work til your blue in the face, if that is what it takes for you to pass the subjects.
