I'm sick of them being so hard on me. I'm doing the best I c
I have never been too good when it comes to math and science. In geography, reading, and english I make all A's. With math, it's normally a B or C. In science my average is probably about a low B also. I don't see anything wrong with a B, but my school uses something called mygradebook.com and everytime my father goes on it to see my grades and it's below an A on anything...he yells at me and grounds me. I've tried explaining to him that I'm doing my best, but he either grounds me or yells at me till I'm in tears. I have a tutor, I study, I DO EVERYTHING! What can I do to get him to stop and realize that I'm trying my best?

I don't know that there is much you can do. You have tried explaining to him already, and to no avail. He obviously can't see that you are already doing the best you can, and you can only push yourself so far.
Parents can be weird sometimes. He probably sees it as he thinks you can do so much better if you applied yourself more, but you KNOW it as you are already applying yourself to the max. He is probably trying to push you to be successful, but doesn't realize that you already are.
What he fails to realize, is that you need to make good grades for YOU, not for him. Not everyone can make all A's all the time, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, if it matters at all, your grades are just fine.
I know I'm not much help to you, but all I can say is keep doing your best. Try not to let him frustrate you. When he yells at you, try to let it go in one ear and out the other. If you start taking all of his hurtful comments to heart, you could end up with a complex of thinking that doing all that you can is never good enough.

He's asking too much out of you. Just explain to him that you're doing your best. Usually a parent would love it that they're child was doing their best, but you're dad has super high standards that you just can't do. Explain that to him calmly. If you throw a fit and say "WELL I CAN'T DO IT. UGH." he's not gonna take you seriously, and it's just gonna end bad.
