If you did your best, that's all you can do. Not everybody is perfect in everything. The most you can do is ask for help when you need it, retake the class during summer school, or just drive on. If your other grades are awesome, what difference is a C going to make? Just a temporary setback.

I found when I was sucking wind in a class, I'd over-exaggerate it. just a wee bit LIke "man, I hope I can squeeze a D out of this class".... then when grade time came, a C looks a whole lot better than it once did.
If you say nothing, and have a C, and get a C, yes, they will be mad. Or if you lie and act like all is well, thye'll be mad. But if you're up-fron t and say "jiminiy, this class is HARD and I am having trouble keeping a C" they will be happier w/ that C when you bring it home.
I guess this is more advice for the NEXT 9 weeks.... you dont' have a lot of time to prepare them for a C now.

There's nothing you can do about it since it's over. Just go and do something fun. As for next term, try to do better than a C. Why do you think the highest grade you can get in it is a C. Maybe you're setting yourself up. Say to yourself you can get an A and work towards it. Put in extra time for it if you need to.

If the report cards come out tomorrow it's too late to change your grade. If you've really been doing the best you can (you're not one of those kids who ask how to get to MySpace from school, I hope), you may need to get a tutor or transfer to an easier math class.

If you're confident that you've done your best, then you need to stand up for that. Step one is telling your parents about your grade before they get the report card. Step two is taking extra steps to improve your grade. Talk to your teacher, ask for extra credit work, seek out a tutor, etc. Tell your parents about these plans and they're more likely to believe that you're really trying.

I don't know. All I can say is what's done is done. There's so sense in worrying about your problem. Worrying about it isn't going to make it go away. You might somehow be able to get your report card, go to Kinkos and change the C to an A. or make a fake card on word, depending on the paper. Or you can print out an A, white out the C, paste the A, copy it in a machine, and it'll look like an A.

Just do your best and be satisfied with yourself. A "C" is satisfactory. I'm sure you get better grades in other subjects. Your parents are not helping you by putting more pressure on you. Don't worry about them. I bet it has been so long since they had a math class that they would fail your class because it gets harder and harder every year.

If you DO get only a "C" act as disappointed as your parents are. Tell them, "I knew I was having some trouble in math but I never realized it would lead to a "C"! Monday I'm going to my math teacher and ask when I can come in to get some extra help." Believe me...it works!

Have you tried talking to your instructor to get additional help after school? They're willing to do this. As far as your parents are concerned, we can't really do anything for you. Tell them how hard a time you're having and ask them if you can start getting tutoring. That might show them you're serious about needing the help.

I think your parents should be very proud of you!You need to really love yourself and if you believe youve done your best thats really the most important thing.Ask them if they even remember,from when they went to school,if they even know the statists of drop-outs ,and how real peer pressure is .I think they should be grateful to have a daughter that even cares about what her parents think.Keep up the good work!
