I would, but I also wouldve given you enough time before report cards came home to let you bring up your grades.

How much warning did she give you? I'm betting that you had plenty of time to pull up your grades before the end of the marking period. It is entirely your fault that you got two Fs. So, yes, I would take away your party.
Understand, though, that if your mother does follow through with what sounds like a very appropriate punishment for not pulling your weight gradeswise, it is because she loves you. Your mother is probably one of those parents whos children my husband would love to have in his classroom... parents who understand that education is more important than some party. Your mother should be applauded for taking what sometimes seems like a hard and, these days, not often taken road of disciplining her child.
Pull your grades up in the next marking period. If you're having trouble, go to your teachers and tell them so! My husband always takes time to help kids that ask. When a student goes to my husband and asks for help, it means that are (for whatever reason) wanting to to better or to maintain a good grade level. He is happy to help! I believe that if you go to your teachers and ask for help, you'll get some good guidance.
If some of your grades are in the toilet because you slacked off, then just stop it! You may not think so, but your grades matter... your education matters! What you learn now will make a difference in your life. Pay attention, get all your work done and study for your tests.
Talk to your mother. Maybe if you pull up your grades with the next marking period, your mother will allow you to have a belated 13th birthday party! It's worth a shot. Besides, your education will be with you long after the party is over. Even if you're not going to get a party for pulling your grades up, you will be rewarded for doing so. You will learn, and someday you will appreciate what your mother is trying to do for you.

No, It is your birthday and you deserve a party! I would find another privilege to take away. Maybe ground you, but not on your birthday. Or take away television and computer use for a couple days. I think it is wrong to take away your birthday party! Especially since you are turning teen!

I would. My parents would probably take away my birthday party if I got 1 C.

Happy Birthday
This recently happened to me and my son. I threatened him not to have a party because of his grades. He tried really hard and still failed one class. Anyways, I figured his birthday party was the one day each year that we celebrate having him in our life. So, we had the party and the very next day he was grounded.
I am sure your mother wants to give you a birthday party, and that her actions are done with Love and your best interest at heart.

Yes, obviously you care more about your social life than your schooling. You need to concentrate on school, then you get to have a social life. Your parents are right for taking away your party.

Yes. You need to focus, F means you are not trying hard enough. I am pretty sure that when it comes to your b-day you have everything pre planned, and organized. Same thing you need to do with school, plan your day, control the hours and execute your homework. Try harder for the next time, and don't worry about your b-day you have many more to come!

if i am your mom. i have word of honor. but i will give you a present and just a small party of the family members only. if i have my children. i wont let them do the bargaining. i dont want my children to oblige what their parents must expected. i will accept them what they are and what they had achieved. take for example, i failed 3 major subjects in college. i expected my mother would slapped me, but surprisingly she hugged me and said ' i know you dont want it, i know at least you tried, do you have any problems? what bothers you?, i know you can do it better next time, i know you are tired, i cooked breakfast for you,dont go to bed without having breakfast ( because i've just came from the travel)' see?

yes, because if you have nothing in your life to work hard to get you will continue to get bad grades. If you know there are real consciences that can affect you right now you will work harder later. She is actually helping you, she wants to see you achieve and do better than she did.
Good luck
Study hard
Happy Birthday

No! F's are just a part of school! That's un fair. I have a 13 year old and I would NOT take away her party. Why don't you try a little harder to up your grade but I would NOT take it away! Tell her a 32 year old mother of 5 children and one 13 year old said that's stupid!
Best of luck! Ava
