What do you expect? A 'D' means bottom marks, right?

That D wouldn't have been for spelling or grammar would it? Just a wild guess. Anywho, bring those grades up sweetie. I'm sure she doesn't want to spank you anymore than you like to get spanked. The thing is, she loves you and wants you to be the very best you can be. Being a mom is hard work. Have you thought about some on line help with school work? Best of luck sweetie, and remember......don't try to pad your bottom with toilet paper or pillows, it just gets ya into more trouble.

Phillip K, ellc 123, and a.d. lovez are the only ones who actually give a good point. While phillips is a little more of a joke, he is right. His statement, like a.d.'s, basically means you earned the grades you earned and you just need to face the consequences.
Ellc's correct in that you just need to study more and try harder. Explain that you are trying to do better. Hopefully they will understand (your parents) and not spank you. But just apply yourself more to your school work and you might just see some improvement.
If your school work just doesn't make sense to you, tell your parents and I know they'll help you out.
I hope I could help you out in a way.

Why are you getting D's? If you spent more time studying, and less time on the computer, this might not happen. Ask your teacher what you need to do to get better grades. Maybe the teacher can make suggestions. Tell your mother that you don't need a spanking. You need her help studying. Then STUDY.

obviously spanking doesn't teach people anything but fear and anger. i'm so sorry to hear about you being raised that way. one day you will be on your own and this will stop.
until then, you must do your best in school for yourself, because one day you will be free and will want to have the strongest mind possible - and you will be a grownup and working - hopefully at something that interests you.
what is going on that leads to your low grades? are you trying your best? are you talking to the teacher about things you don't understand? are you practicing/studying? if you are and are still not getting it, they are failing you, not you them.
unfortunately, they are free to do this because in the end you are the one who has to live this life and function in it. they don't really care, by and large, if they fail you, they don't even see it in those terms.
So, you must free your mind of their attempts to beat you down and control you and make you feel dumb.
When you go to her with her D, explain to her your feelings about your schooling and your future. Even if everyone else is wrong, don't begin by saying that. You must look at what you are responsible for and talk about that first, or at least talk first about your plan for doing better. Ask for her help and go ahead and tell her that you are actually scared because of the spanking, and so this gets in the way of you being able to really get help. You need it from someone you feel safe with, not someone you're afraid of.
You have nothing to lose but your chains.

whatever grade you are in, think about it..it's your future and your mom loves you and cares about you. she wants you to have a good future so please do it for you. Start studying hard, it's not cool to be getting D's really. I am sure you are smart. so why not give it a chance and make the best of the education you have. Think of all those poor kids in other countries, they don't have opportunities like you do. You live in a great country and i think you should start appreciating it and make yourself proud and that way your mom will be proud of you too.

have you been checked fro a learning disabilty? check for that.if they cant find anything then you need to quit giifing off, waiting till the last min and sit down and do your hw. maybe you have to much extracirricular activities, or just lifwe in general goin on, maybe you should sit down with a scvhool counselor and see if she can help yopu come up with a solutin. maybe get a tutor? not everyone naturally gets good grades, soem ppl have to work at it

You need to spend less time on the computer and more time studying. My kids wouldn't get a spanking for getting a D but they would lose all their computer and T.V. privelages. If you feel scared, try talking to your mom or dad about how you want to try to work harder to get better grades and maybe they can put you on a schedule. Parents usually respond better if you talk about it responsibly.
Good luck.

turn off the computer and open a book and maybe next time you will get a better grade. if you need help in that subject ask the school for help, they have programs for students to help other students

Start studying!
I actually don't believe that your mom is this bad with you, and I suspect that you may be saying these things for attention. I am sorry that you feel that you have to act this way.
