failed spanish -.-''
i havent always had the best grades. usually the worst i'd get on my report card was a C. but since my sophomore year, my grades have been slipping dramatically. now i'm almost done with my junior year and my last failing grade was in history; i had a 59 on my report card. needless to say, my parents were not happy at all. they said i could do better. they think i'm really smart. and honestly, i'm not as smart in the things they think i am. i worked my ass off this quarter and got a C on my report card in history, but now i have an F in spanish. i know it was because i completely forgot to turn in this assignment that was worth 300 points, and it screwed me over big time. but now i have no idea how to tell my parents that i failed spanish! how would any of you guys do it?

There's really no easy way to do it. Just come right out and admit to it, and don't try to place the blame anywhere else or make excuses. Sure, they'll probably be upset, but I really don't think they'll kill you for it. And if you admit that it was your mistake and that you forgot to turn in an assignment, you'll seem a lot more mature. Just apologize, admit that you were wrong, and promise to try harder in the future (and follow through with that promise). Your parents just want the best for you, and they know that you're capable of getting better grades, but they won't stay upset forever.
