My parents say that if I get an B on my report card I can't go on a vacation.?

you Need to sit down with your parents and explain that a b is a good grade, the more they put this kind of pressure on you the harder it will be for you, your parents need to realise how hard they are being and that they are not offering you the right support, maybe you should let them read some of these emails and give them an insight to how you feel, I'm a parent and i know if i was making my children feel like this i would not be happy with myself,,please try talking to them in a calm manner, and choose a time when non of you are stressed. good luck

Your parents are saying to you:  we want you to improve your grades. Not playing basketball is their punishment for not getting better grades.  I would suggest you try this.  Tell your parents you realize they want you to get better grades.  If you haven't been in trouble, tell them you are a good kid that stays out of trouble and basketball is where you release some energy, get a workout, and enjoy a sport.  It should not be included in forms of punishment.  \n\nThen ask them to compromise on a solution.  That they should be open to resolution to the problem without creating resentment.  Ask to play basketball one day a week until your grades go up and back to two when they are up.\n\nGood luck.

Well i guess you already have your answer, NO.  Sorry if it isn't the answer that you wanted.  Your parents have reasons for what they do, and I am sure they have good reasons for not changing your school.

Your just a regular 6th grader. I was kinda like that. Your fine. Just do your home work more often. Iknow a lot of people who don't do the work and it really hurts their grade.

If you are a good student and dependable you're parents shouldn't stop you from looking for what you want for your future.  However if you feel you need to suck up to be allowed to do this chances are you don't fall into that category anyways so you're on your own to find a way to go out of state to party with friends

Shi,\n\nYou have great ethics.  But never say "damn parents."  They come above everyone else.\n\nThey are part time jobs to get you through college.  They are not your career.\n\nBe honest, give your two weeks notice and use them as a reference to get another crappy job to get you by when you return.\n\nEnjoy your vacation with your parents!

You have to remember, school comes first, and if you don't pass, you don't play.  I would suggest doing your homework as soon as you get home, and having free time later, whether it is to play basketball or do something else.  You have to stay focused on what is important.

Your family can't force you to do anything. Unless it were extreme circumstances. Like, if you were moving, or still in school or whatever. Could you be more specific?

Take your vacation and then leave.\n\nYour employer sucks.

Sounds like someone is trying to hold you back. Ask you parents or HelpDesk for further instructions.

To be honest, you would be better off to get through the quarter and forget about it unless the teacher is doing something illegal.\n\nIf you try and "frame" the teacher as one genious proposed, you may end up in a huge lawsuit in which you and your parents could get taken to the cleaners (not to mention expelled from school and a nice ding on your record).\n\nIf the teacher is doing something illegal, then you need to speak to your parents and the administrators.

I would contact social services. You obviously have a place to stay or you would not be on here. Stay in school, they will pay or child care. Social services should have plans for you and your situation. Do not stop talking with your parents. Keep attempting to work things out with them. You may have toget a job after school. email me if you like, i am a life coach and will coach you for free. james101092@yahoo.com

Ha, ha. This is a riot!! For your brother, I mean. If you are required to take summer classes to make up or complete work not done or failed, and you do not go, then you would have to repeat those classes and possibly the entire grade. It seems sensible to me that you would have asked that answer of someone in charge at the school before making a decision not to attend. Where the heck are your parents in all of this? Do they even care?\n\nI would hope they did.

"Smart One"???  Apparently not so much huh?\nGuess what dude....you're about to get grounded.\nIf you knew that you had something riding on that grade, then maybe you should have studied a little harder, got a tutor, asked for some help, got a "study-buddy", asked the teacher if there were some extra credit projects you could have done.\nTRUST ME---if you fudge a "new" report card, it WILL be discovered eventually by your parents and then you'll be in even BIGGER trouble.  You figure, you have what...3 more report cards to go this year? Are you going to modify ALL of them to reflect this change? More trouble then it's worth if you ask me!Take your lumps now, they'll only get bigger if you lie.
