7th grade is such a tough time in a kid's life. Sounds like you are doing pretty solidly in school. What about talking to your teacher? Is your math class too difficult or advanced for you right now? It may be more than you can handle. See what your teacher thinks the problem is. If your teacher agrees that you might be better off in a math class geared more for your grade level, ask him/her to speak to your dad. I'm sure your dad is very proud that his kid is in an accelorated class--parents tend to be that way and like to brag about how smart their kids are--but he also doesn't want you programmed to fail. See if your teacher can help you figure out how to improve in that class or move into a class that's better for you and then help your dad to understand.

First of all it sounds like your doing real well in school,I would be proud of you if I was him.I know you find it hard to talk to him when he's upset, but when he calms down, go to him and try talking to him, explain to him that you do your best in school, and you will try and improve in the areas that he's upset about. Hopefully that will give him a better attitude the next time he sees your report card. But always remember you can do what ever you put your mind to, and be whatever you want to be, I think your off to a good start,don't lose your self esteem about yourself because your report card is not perfect, you still have a long way to go in school. Keep your head up, you sound smart, so go ahead and try talking to your dad, you might be surprised. Good luck

I think that our dad should understand that you are doing the best that you can do. A quick suggestion is to try to get on of the better students or perhaps your teacher help you with your math. I hope you the best of luck in school and in your future. May God bless you.

E-mail him. You can get it all in writing and check to make sure you are saying what you want and the way you want. Let him know that his anger is getting you mad and makes you want to pull away. Have a friend check it if you want ideas on how it sounds....or write your e-mail into another question and get dozens of ideas. If there ever is a time when dad doesn't get all mad, then let him know how much that means to you. Hope it goes well.

You should talk to a family member you can trust or a school guidance councilor. Remember this don't care what any one thinks of your grades just as long as your happy with them

You poor kid. 1) you can ask a cool teacher to talk to him.
2) you can ask him what kind of grades HE got.
3) maybe he wants you to do alot better than he did so that your life will be better than his turned out to be.
I wish I could give you a big bear-hug. Keep doing your best.

What does your mother do? Is she supportive of you? How is your relationship with your father otherwise? Do the two of you get along? Communication between parents and children is so very important!

I would simply say in a nice way that you are doing the best you can. I would also do homework around them to show proof that you do your work.
