I just need to vent because I’m genuinely so frustrated right now.
My report card came out and I have all A’s, a couple A-’s, ONE B, and my overall GPA is still a 3.9. I also still have High Honors.
The problem is my parents are completely focused on my most recent marking period, where my grades dipped a bit. They’re saying I’m “on a downward slope” and that my grades are only going to keep dropping. They’re blaming it on me having an Instagram “addiction,” which I honestly don’t think is true.
I’ve had Instagram all year and my grades were fine before. The actual reasons my grades dipped are:
- I was sick and missed school
- There were fewer tests this marking period, so each one counted more
- One B in math brought my MP grade down, but my overall math grade is still an A-
But every time I try to explain that, they call it “excuses” and say they don’t want to hear it.
Now they’re even threatening to take my phone away if my grades “dip further,” even though my overall grades are still strong. I literally have ONE B and everything else is A/A-.
It’s just really frustrating because I feel like I’m being treated like I’m failing when I’m not. I study, I try hard, and I care about my grades, but they’re acting like I’m on some kind of downfall when my overall record is still good.
I’m not saying I’m perfect, I just feel like I’m being misunderstood and not actually being listened to at all.
yes this is made from chat because i ranted and am too tired to write it again.
