need to have perfect grades

[that-god-chick]

so im not the smartest girl and latly with my depression my grades have been getting worse... but my mum is always telling me how important it is that i do good in school, im the only one in my family to go past grade 10 and i dont know how much more i can take... im failing most of my subjects but cant tell my mum that because she would rage at me so much... i just dont know what to do

Just do your best and if you need to get some help with your classes. Your mom just wants you to succeed where as they did not. Talking to her about how you are having a tough time may help.

Hope this helps.

I know what you mean. While it isn't nearly as bad for me as it is for some of my friends, my parents are also constantly on my case for every low mark I get.
A "C" on a test? Thomas, you're going to live under a bridge when you get older!
A "B" overall grade in maths? Thomas, no good college will ever even think about you!

My (not stereotyping here, it's just a common pattern I've seen) Asian friends tell me how they get grounded if they don't have an "A" on every single assignment in every class.

Don't take it too seriously -- mind you, don't ignore it, because that won't help you at all -- but understand that your parents only want you to have a good future and avoid the mistakes they made, even though it may not always seem like that.

my parents are the same. but lucky for me i have 3 super smart Korean friends(not to be stereotypical or racist) who help me with nearly anything.

u guys are lucky i have no one to help me iv just kinda gotta suck it up and do my best, one of my older friends who is out of school now is really good at math and said she would help me out but i havent heard anything about it so i dont think its gonna happen

Maybe you could ask your teachers if they could help you with whatever subjects you're failing. I've heard that helps some people.

i dont have the time, the only time they will do it is at lunch times and most of my lunch times iv got dance rehursals or something for drama or working on an art project so i dont get any spare time the spare time i do get i most likly have an appointment with the counsellor or chaplian at school

My dad doesn't usually care; well I mean he does, and he, and all my teachers know I try my hardest.
However, with my learning disabilities, I don't think I'll ever be able to get good grades in an academic class. Oh well, it's not i'm going to be accepted to a college...

But do try to go at lunch, get help, talk to your school guidance counselor. They will be your best friend when trying to improve your grades.

A bunch of people say don't worry a B is not the end of the world, a C its ok its not good but it could be worse. Report cards say that A- Outstanding, B - Above average, C - Average, but in the world we live in because of the current generation that is in control we won't be able to do anything if we don't have at least an A, or a gpa below 4.0 weighted. Welcome to the modern world, where we are worth nothing unless a piece of paper tells that you are.
