Okay im in the first year of highschool, and guess what i signed up everything as accedemic because i was afraid i would not graduate if i signed up for all applies. Im not very smart and most of the marks i got last year were lik 60-70s. This semester in highschool i had 4 subjects. French i suck and i couldnt have choosen applied because if i did i wouldnt be able to join accedemic english. Now im stuck. my report cards are comming back in a week or so. And im pretty sure my grades are really low this time! we get these reviews ever now and then and the best subject is probably art. I dont know if i do bad my parents will yell at me crazy!!! and if i lie and dont tell them about the report card and parent teacher interview, they might not know about it, but what if they do, im dead. So what do i do? My parents really need me to do good, they invested alot of money so that i would make it to university, im dead if i dont, i have to, if i dont ill kill myself, but for now what do i do?

Have you thought about getting a tutor or where I went to school there were after school classes you could go to to get additional help. I'm sure that if you show that your applying yourself and doing your best that everything will be alright.

It is quite common for a first year high school student to get less than their
usual grades at first. You have to tell your parents the bad news but promise
that you will do better next time. You do have reasons for not getting such
good grades, right? The subjects are more difficult, more kids, not used
to the noise, not used to having to change classrooms so often....etc. They
will not hold it against you. They want you to do well. Tell them that you
will try harder. It will be okay.

Do tell them. If there is going to be a difficult passage about this, it is going to happen, whether or not you tell them. So, your conscience will be clearer knowing that you did the right thing.
If the situation terrifies you so much, first go to some trusted adult (relative, school counselor, teacher, etcetera) and talk to him/her first.
I have been in your situation, that is, afraid to give my parents my report card. Usually our fears are much worse than the reality. I speak as a father, grandfather, and teacher. Do that which will keep your conscience the clearest.

Let your parents know that you are having a difficult time this school year. Let them know that you are indeed trying the best that you can. Parents usually understand as long as you are doing the best that you can do. Parents put the stress on their children so that they will try harder and hopefully succeed.

Just be honest. Let your parents know that the classes you have chosen are hard for you. Then maybe you and your parents can go to your schools guidance counselor to see what can be done. It would really help you and help take the heavy load off of your academics. Good Luck!

go to the front office and ask for a mentor. High schools usually have those type of things. And if they don't, turn the goddamn TV and Computer off and study. Study like your life depends on it. I study for 10 minutes on every subject except for 2. (gym and technology.) and it really helps. It's only an hour of studying. My friend Zora studies for 2 hours every night. No wonder she has straight A's....

i've been, or shud i say..i am having the very same situation. i knw my parents hv bn spending hell lot for me as my course is an international course. but i am just too lazy too study. i am not stupid. i used to be the best student in the school but the laziness has conquered me. so wht i alwys told myself is that, please pity dad. he's been spending hell lot that he didn't eat his lunch in office. that's wht keep me motivated. so the same shud goes to u. i used to tell my parents that i dnt like to study n i dnt like sciences subjects that all this while i've studies is just becauese i followed what they asked me to do. so i made the move to switch to accountancy. now my parents undrstand my level of academic n did not expect me too high as b4. so mybe wht u shud do is just talk to them!! the least they can do is yell at u but they wont kill u rite? so dnt be afraid. ur future is worth it if u discuss with them. gud luck to us!

You are screwed! If it were me I'd tell my parents because there is nothing worse than your parents finding out that you did bad from anyone other than you!
