to Beady ~ Being the product of brilliant parents and being a slightly above average student myself, give your mom time to cool down. My older son, who is brilliant in his own right, also had to repeat some courses. My advice is get some testing at your college for a learning disability. I know that sounds odd, but Kevin (who graduated 8th in his high school class with a 3.6 ... before the graduated scale that's now used) got some testing done and found out he had a minor learning disability. This allowed him to retake classes and get re-evaluated grades for the courses. And this was at Virginia Tech. His last 60 hours his GPA was between 3.1 to 3.4... a full one point GPA difference compared to some of his first 60 hours' grades. He also attended academic counseling sessions to improve his study habits, test taking techniques, etc. By doing all this, he proved to us that he was not happy about his grades and was taking pro-active measures to try to improve them. He ended up getting accepted into 3 internships during the last 60 hours and was one of the few people in his graduating class that had a job before graduation. Talk to your parents as an adult. Don't make excuses or get defensive. Make plans and goals with them on how you can improve your grades and your college experience. Hope that all helps.

Adding 3 more adults to the July group.
Will go through the Incubator and get the 2nd stage babies. Maybe walking them around will pop a few of them into adulthood. July group count will be done at midnight ET. Sorry, that's when I did the other one and want to be consistent. 3nodding

It just seems that she never thinks I try.....just cause I try and fail doesn't mean I didn't put effort in to something.

It just seems that she never thinks I try.....just cause I try and fail doesn't mean I didn't put effort in to something. True but don't take that approach. Do like I said. You yourself aren't happy with your grades. The methods you're currently using aren't producing the results you'd like to get. So, talk with them about different approaches that you all will hope will produce different, improved results. I understand what you're saying but it sounds like excuses, not a positive approach. Try what I've suggested and be sincere in pursuing whatever methods you and your parents agree upon. Have them work in partnership with your decision. It will show them that you're trying to take a thoughtful and adult approach.
