Why do my parents ground me so much because of school?

Question

i mean, i get c's and b's but they don't let me do anything! all i'm allowed to do is read, do homework, and study. we just got a wii, and i'm not allowed to play it! Every day i start to have them more and more, but they just keep punishing me, no play. TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Maybe because they know if you really apply yourself and attention and are determined to do better you will. Believe in yourself as much as they believe in you. You are selling yourself short. Just focus more.

Answer 2

Parents are not enemies. They are well wished of you. If any parent beat or scold you that indicates they are having too much of love upon you. with love and affection they do like that. Think a parent how beat horribly his children is having more love. Why they are asking you to study for the sake of you only. Think how many year they look after you, If anything happens to your parents what is your life .Imagine your life without parents. If you study well the parents feel happy. So, first explain your feeling to your mother that i will play after my studies and homework. Study and do home work with concentration and complete your parents will and go to play. But think the parents are not enimies they are eaual to God. Ok study well and get good marks.

Answer 3

Your parents wants to push you to the next level & get all A's on your report card or your tests. Maybe they got the wii to push you to get good grades.

Answer 4

Parents are funny like that. Once you have kids you will understand. I know this sounds cliche and over said, but it is true. All the cliche stuff you hear about having kids is true. All parents think the world of their kids and put unrealistic expectations on their children. What you can do is out-parent them. Beat them at their own game. You can say things like, "I want you to know that you can feel however you feel, and that is OK, I am a stable and healthy individual and regardless of how you think of me and act towards me, i love you and myself."
that will floor them and they will gain huge respect for you. As long as you respect and are proud of your self (don't get carried away with pride though) you will be all right regardless of what your parents say or do to you.

Answer 5

Well, life couldn't be that bad, they let you get on Yahoo Answers don't they?

Hey, What do you have MORE AND MORE like you said?? More days of being grounded?
If so, that sux for your parents cause they are grounded too watching that you don't do what they grounded you for.

Tell them that they need to let you make your own mistakes as far as your grades because if you want to do sports you are going to have to get good grades.

If you don't like sports, I hope you like (or learn to like) reading. It's really not that bad...LOOK YOU'RE READING RIGHT NOW!!

Answer 6

First of all, are the grades because of a lack of studying or not doing your homework. If you are doing your best then sit down with your parents and your teachers and talk it out. The best bet is don't argue with your parents. I did that and was grounded for a while. Also work out an agreement with them. For every 20 to 30 minutes studying ask for 5 to 10 minutes of free time where you can play games or do whatever, then stick to it. Also make it part of the deal that you study and do your homework in front of them until they understand that you are doing your best. A little bit of diplomacy and give and take can go a long way.

Answer 7

Well your parents just want the best for you to grow up and be smart!.C's and b's are ok but a's would even be better try to reach for the A's and they will let you have more freedom.But for now you should sit down with your parents and discuss what you could do to get privlages like the wi,ect...If it means upping your grade or studying more whatever they expect you to do.If you reach their goals for you im sure you will get to do more fun things!good luck!

Answer 8

Have you had this conversation with them in a reasonable manner? This doesn't mean screaming the question to them as they walk down the hall, or them screaming to you as they leave for work.

As much as you might not like it, accept that your parents are the boss and understand that they have emotions and an intent that they believe is best for you. Ask them to arrange a time where you can discuss this. When they schedule the time and you meeting, talk about what they want and explain to them what you want and if there is anyway to come to a compromise.

If they're asking you to make As and you're making Cs and Bs, you're going to have a problem. In a sense, they are correct --- the more you study, the better you will do. That doesn't necessarily make you smarter, it will only give you better grades. You need to figure out what they want and then you need to tell them what you want, while understanding that you might have to revise what you want. There isn't a single teen who hasn't been through this. But believe me, in five years you'll look back at this and see it as very trivial.

Answer 9

Talk to your parents. See if you can bargain something. What grades will they accept to give you more freedom? Maybe you can negotiate an accord of some sort.

Answer 10

Your parents may be a little hard on you but they want whats best for you and a good education is the best thing to have because a mind is a terrible thing to waste and without the brains and the know how your max amount of income will be effected by this and a career will turn into a J.O.B ! Which one you want to give orders or to take them ?
