Tell him what you did wrong to get those c's, and then tell him what you are going to do to change those marks next term/semester.

the best thing you could do at this point is come up with a plan of how your going to bring your grades up. Say you'll get up a half hour early every morning to study, or maybe instead of watching tv from 6:30 to 7:00 every night you'll use that time to study.
When you show him your report card tell him about your plan. I'm sure that won't make everything great but he'll see that your taking your grades seriously and you realize theres a problem and are trying to fix it.

I would forestall his disappointment by showing him my own - in other words, say something along the lines of 'Dad, I'm so disappointed in my grades' before he has a chance to. This approach will be even stronger if you can also back it up with a plan for how you're going to improve for next time (especially if you can also ask him for help with any subjects he's particularly good at). This will show him you're taking it seriously - which, really, is all he wants. When parents get upset by something it's generally only because they want you to recognise the seriousness of the situation; if you can show that you already do, then there's less reason for him to get upset.
Hope this helps - good luck!

well, did you try your hardest this semester? if you did, then you know that you did your best. tell him how hard you tried, suggest maybe that you need a bit of extra help in some areas, and basically tell him what you're going to do to make next semester different.
if you got these grades as a result of NOT trying, then i would really be honest but maybe not ALL the way ;-). tell him that something (here's where you take your own liberty about what you say) was bothering you all semester and your mind just wasn't on your school. explain how you will focus next semester and this won't happen again.
everyone messes up now and again, you just gotta fix what you broke :-)

First thing is that you should not compare yourself with the other students.- if they got bad or good grades that's not of your concern- every one for themselves.
The second thing is the truth- tell pops what happened- why you got those grades and what you plan on doing to better them.
Study a lot remember that's all that matters now- YOUR FUTURE is at STAKE.
MAKE THE BEST OF IT NOW THAT YOU CAN.
Luck to you and study hard your reward is your future.

I Think that you tell him your report is not so good but you would like to improve in your studies and need his suggestions about how to study in the next exams? He will definately be calm enough to show you the way through this difficult times in your studies.
Infact everyone needs that importance.........

U should just tell ur dad the truth. It feels much better to be honest with someone. Trust me.

Tell him the truth, tell him why you got all C's. Explain it to him. Whether if it was because of your absences, the difficulties of the course, or is if it was because of lack of motivation. He should understand since he's a father and all.

Just let him know what made you get them. Tell him you will do better. Dads usually understand. Mine always did. He also made sure I had time to study...at least for a week..
