Are you afraid of disappointing them? All they can ask of you is that you did your best. And while it's not fun, honesty is always the best road to take.

Elysian · Answer

Its better to tell them then lie about it

They are super strict. I will be grounded and I won't be able to get out of my room for a year. I am finally allowed out of my room, I don't want to go back.

AriesR0se · Answer

For a Year?! That's a bit harsh. I'm not sure what to do...I don't want to tell you to lie about this, but is there a way for you to improve your score in the class? Or... if u don't know ur score on it yet?

Elysian · Answer

Can you retake the test?

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

I know my score. Normally, it would be considered a decent score. But my family thinks anything below A is a fail.

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

I can't retake.

Elysian · Answer

I understand this part here. Is there a way you can take extra credit? Maybe ask your teacher? Or tell them the impact it had on your grade overall? It's best to be honest with your parents, even though it's kinda scary, etc. Just try and break it to them easily. I know being in your room will suck but if you've done this before there really isn't anything different to do. Maybe practice what you got wrong while you're stuck there. Anyways, even though you had a bad score, you did well because you tried. Most kids in this generation don't care about their grades and think they're going to become a huge influencers. You on the other hand are working towards your parents' high standards.

Astrid1 · Answer

Even though your parents aren't too proud of it, as long as you're proud of yourself for how well you did, even if it's worse than your last test score, you still did well.

Elysian · Answer

, I’d encourage you to tell your parents the truth. Our lies usually catch up with us, and I think the results will be worse if they find out you not only failed, but lied about it.

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

I guess that's true.

could u guys plz go on my question

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

Maybe I can ease the punishment by telling them about the fact that I am the only one in the class who got a B. Everyone else got a D or an F.

AriesR0se · Answer

Well done, on that part! And just be honest. Hopefully they will acknowledge your hard work.

Elysian · Answer

I’ve found that at times my parents surprise me and react much differently to things than I think they will. So, it might not be as bad as you think. Particularly if you approach talking to them about this by telling them you really want to work on improving in whatever course you failed.

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

Yeah, you guys are right.

DylanTheBisexual · Answer

Thanks for the help.

AriesR0se · Answer

yeah, of course. Good luck.

Astrid1 · Answer
