Parents are confusing
Ok, so yesterday I got my report card for the 2nd marking period. I knew that I didn't do well so I wasn't exactly looking foward to it coming home because my parents are really strict about grades. So I came home and I saw it on the counter. I looked in that direction for a second and thought I saw a C on it. I go in the other room and my dad was like that's bad. My brother then was like what are you talking about. My dad replied nothing. A few minutes later when everyone cleared the room, I decided to go look at it without anyone seeing me. This way I wouldn't get yelled at yet. I went and it was gone. I looked everywhere. I can't find it. It's like my parents are hiding MY grades from ME. I guess I must have done really bad. Should I ask my parents where it is and get yelled at? What do I do?

To offer another perspective from the advice you've received so far, I don't personally think you should demand anything of your parents if you're afraid you'll get yelled at. It's entirely possible that your father put the report card away for a bit so that he can calm down and think of how he can help you. If you're dying to know your grades, see a school counselor or speak with your teachers.
I'm sure that your parents aren't trying to trick you. I bet they're buying time until they can discuss this rationally. You'll likely be much better off if you give them a little time and see if they bring it up soon than if you come home with bad grades and then demand they discuss it with you immediately.
Good luck.

hey, yes you need to be responsible for the grades that you got, whether they are bad or good. you need to ask them for YOUR report card back. explain to them that you know that there is room for improvement but you just dont know where. you will only know where to improve if you know where you didnt do so well in.

Hell yes, you need to ask for your report card. Demand it, if need be. They have no right to hide your grades from you. They are YOUR grades, and how do you know where you need to improve if you don't know what you got on your report card?
If you got bad grades and you know you are going to be punished, then at least you have that heads up. Sometimes we get are tails chewed because we messed up, but that is just something we all have to face.
Now, go get that report card, get the punishment over with, and try to improve what needs to be improved.
