Well, my mom wasn't impressed at all, she didn' even congratulate me, she just nodded her head with no facial expression. Even though I've improved my grades drastically and this is the highest I've ever been. She had promised to buy me a cellphone, and no she denies it after I showed her my grades. Look at them. Don't you think I ahve good grades.

Yep, looks good. Confront your Mom about it, but keep your cool. Explain to her that you tried your best and were under the impression you would be rewarded with a cellphone. She might be worried that if she buys you the cellphone you will stop putting forth effort in school because you have what you want. So, explain to her that you will keep up the good work.

Wow! Your grades look great! I'm proud of you and your not even my daughter! OK. You've got to think about it from several angles. First of all, is that kind of response from her typical or is she usually more engaged? If typical, then what did you expect? If it's not typical, maybe there's something else going on with your mom that has nothing to do with you and your grades. Maybe she's having financial trouble and can't afford to get you the cell phone now. Maybe she's depressed about something. Ask her how she's doing. Ask her if she's feeling OK and how things are going at work or in a relationship if she's in one. Try to feel her out to see where she's coming from. Then you can know better about how to feel about her response. I'm sorry she didn't show you more enthusiasm. I'm sure she is proud of you. Sometimes moms can get so proud of their kids, it can make the mom feel ashamed about not being as good of a mom as the kid deserves. She loves you. She's proud of you. Give her a little love. Don't get offended. Now go give her a hug. Good Luck!

I think your grades are awesome! I have a question...Are you Asian? I'm Asian and I know as well as many of my other friends...our parents acted like it was the end of the world if we brought home a B graded paper or anything. I always hated the way they reacted to my grades when i was younger but now that I'm older I just realize that they didn't get the opportunity to have the education that we are getting and they just want us to succeed in life right?...Just try to keep your grades up and be proud of yourself for having great grades and on top of that being in honor classes! Good Luck sweetie!

Is it possible that when you showed her your grades that her mind was somewhere else?
I drove the “smart” bus and there was a 14yo on my bus who received the same grades you did - all A’s but one B. It was one of the saddest things I had ever saw. He was scared to death to get off the bus. It took a lot of talking to him to get him to go home. His father didn’t physically abuse him so there wasn’t anything I could do but he did verbally abuse him. He would tell him he was stupid if he brought home anything less than an A. I will tell you the same thing I told him.
Don’t let your parent’s problems be yours. You are smart and you have a bright future ahead of you as long as you don’t let anyone get in your way. Just keep doing the best you can and you will be successful.
Hopefully someday your parent’s will see how hard you are trying but for some reason they can’t right now. Please just keep trying. It is normal to seek your parent’s approval but as long as you know you are doing the best you can then don’t let their lack of approval get you down. Someday your mom will see.

Agreed. Your grades are excellent.
However, do not be discouraged by your mom's indifference. You ought to take the view that you are doing well for yourself, not to get some rewards.
You will realize later that your reward will come in the form of a bright future for you! So carry on with your great results for all future exams and strive to beat yourself for the challenge. You will not regret it.

Your grades are great, keep up the great work. I am sorry your Mom didn't react the way you wanted her to but you need to be proud of yourself. You need to do things for your self not just to get recognition from other people. With your grades you will be able to go on to higher education and make something of your life....then she will be very proud of you.

These are very impressive grades. I hope your mom keeps her end of the bargain and gets you the phone. I will be very happy if my 2 teens came home with these grades.
