flunked a college class
So I'm in college, and I just failed one of my classes. I'm not exactly a spectacular student, (mostly b's, some a's, and an occasional c). My GPA was a 2.945, now it dropped to a 2.2 or something extremely low like that. Problem is, I'm pretty sure my other class grades will be more c's (there may even be a D. Just awful).
Am I screwed? I'm not on scholarship, but I am a junior, and I'll still be in college for two more years. Oh, and do I tell my parents? My parents said I'm going to be taken out of college if I fail anything.
Oh and I do plan to work my butt of for the rest of the time I'm here, really need to get my GPA up.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I did my share of screwing up in college. But I also had periods of great success, and I can tell you for an absolute certainty what made the difference: communication. When you do well in a class, it's because you're paying attention, taking notes, and asking questions - in other words, actively communicating with your instructor.
The same principle applies with your parents and the school. Don't let a situation like this fester. Call them, tell them EXACTLY what's going on, and explain what your options are and how you're going to fix it. Talk to an academic advisor about whether you can retake the class you failed, or if you can recover your GPA and the necessary credits without doing that. Make a plan, then execute it.
You can get past this. Talk to your professors, the administration, and your parents to figure out the best options. Everyone makes mistakes; the smart ones learn from them.
