Go to your teacher and ask her how you can improve your performance. Listen and take notes. Start immediately and then tell your parents that you are upset with the report that is coming out but this is what you are doing about it. Then....stick to the plan...
Discipline yourself. It is part of taking responsibility for your own life and your parents will be glad at your change in attitude!
Take your punishment and don't complain...the other part of the equation. Life is like that. We all screw up. It is what you do after that that tells who you are!
Good luck!

Do you really want an honest answer or do you just want someone to say what you want? I am sorry you dont want to be grounded but there is no way out of it unless your parents change their minds about it. There are reasons why your parents or parent grounds you. It is so hopefully you will learn that if you dont put the effort into your school work then they arent going to put any effort into letting you go anywhere. I know you didnt want to hear this. I wish you would think about yourself and care about yourself. You dont have to get straight A's but at least do enough work to get a passing grade. Believe me, it is sooo hard to catch up in school once your behind. I know 6 weeks is a long time to be grounded but maybe if you talk and I mean talk and not yell at them, about you are only 3 points from the failing grade, that they can shorten it. You shouldnt get away from not getting grounded simply because you didnt try hard enough or care enough about your own grade. I hope it works out for you, just take it like a teenager.

I am sorry, but I agree you need to be punished. You were aware of the consequences in the 1st place. You knew you were having trouble and not making the grades, there was ample oppertunity to talk to your teacher to either work on extra credit or have some after school time to be tutored. You could let you parents know you were still having trouble as well and asked them to help you or even have a classmate help you. But you chose to sit back and not get the help you needed. So explain why you should not be punished for the 6 wks? These are things you need to think about when it is happening, not after the fact. I am sorry but you did ask. I hope you can bring up your grades in the next 6 wks. Good luck.

Nothing to do now but face the music. Own up to the situation before the cards come out so your parents know what to expect. Talk to the teacher and see if there's some hope. They can change grades up til the last day but really dude, buckle down and work hard. Education is important. Doubt you want to spend your life failing. If you have a learning problem, get some help. If your parents don't want to face it, talk to the teacher and see what he or she can suggest. Hope you can get your sentence reduced.

Beg the teacher for extra credit. If he/she agrees, they can put an incomplete on your report card - which is better than a failing grade - until you turn in your extra credit. Then explain to your parents that you weren't doing very well in that class and that your last assignment is still being graded.

the best and first thing to do is to be honest and prepare your parents for the failing grade. Have a plan as to how you can raise your grade---after school help, tutoring,ect.. More than that, stop making excuses and work harder, unless failure is something you want in your life. Failure should be unacceptable, unless you honestly did your best and then it is a learning experience.

Too bad you weren't this worried earlier when you could have just studied and did well on tests. Looks like your gonna have to get grounded and study harder next semester.
Sorry, I know that is not the answer you were fishing for.

Honesty is the best policy...you need to face your consequences! If you are having problems in a subject than tell your parents! Your parents want you to do well in school...that's why they are grounding you! You get the reward that you deserve!

Sincerely ask your parents this same question - if they won't budge, I guess you have to take it like a man.
