So in school i am making very good grades in (80's and 90's) except for ONE class. That is, English 1. the entire semester i thought that i was doing quite well in her class (again, 80's and 90's) up until she let everyone see their grade. i currently have a 44 in that class. A FOURTY-FOUR. there are only 2 people that are not failing out of a class of 25. my father is extremely strict with grades, and with anything below an 80 he will get extremely pissed and aggressive. Note that i only have ~3-4 weeks of school left, and i have a 44 in that class. my teacher never let me know when my grade was falling, nor when it was low, up until now (where it seems impossible to recover from it). i have never, ever, made below an 80 in any class i have ever taken, and yet THIS is what it boiled down to? i am completely clueless as to how i will bring the grade up with only 3 1/2 weeks remaining. the teacher is very tense, saying that it is always the students fault, and to an extent, that is true. but with only 2 people of 25 passing the class, the odds are slim for me. if my dad ever finds out, or even if i do not pass the class, i will literally go insane. i have always been a straight B/A student, and having a 44 in a class kills me. I honestly think i do not deserve it, as i have been very well-behaved, polite, and done what i could in class. this drives me insane, it gets me into suicidal feelings. i know, suicidal feelings from bad grades seems like an overreaction, but i am very sensitive about this stuff. i dislike that i am that way, but this just seems impossible. someone, please help me. thank you for your time.:(
