I failed an exam once. Once. What I did was keep quiet about it and then resit it at the next opportunity. Sorted. Also how the fuck did you manage to fail social studies and language arts? I have no idea what they are, but they sound like retard subjects

This is what happened:
>Gave card
>They flipped shit
>said I couldn't use my computer unless they say.
>said do 100% better next year.
>offer 0% help whatsoever.
Yup
 
You actually failed LANGUAGE ARTS? Not to be very unkind or anything, but are you fucking kidding me?
I can still understand if a high school guy happens to fail something like Chemistry (I almost failed Quantum Mechanics once) or Economics or something, but Language Arts?

Or you could say something along the lines of:
Look, mum, dad, its not that I don't appreciate everything that you have done for me, It's just that I'm dissapointed in your lack of support over these last few years. If you had took the time away from your own interests for a while, you would have recognised that I was struggling in certain areas of my life.If you had paid attention to my needs a little more, we wouldnt be having this conversation now, hopefuly you will grow into the understanding parents that i should have come to expect, and you could start by giving me some encouragment on making some more of my life with these grades *hand the report over*

Criticizing them openly while packing a poor-scoring report card is bad news. I see where you are going with the angle, but rather than critique the parenting, one may have a more powerful argument by requesting or asking for help.
 
there's a difference between requesting something and asking for it?
:confused:

A request doesn't have to involve a question mark and can have remarkably different language than statements that are "asking" for assistance.

E.g. "Mom, in order for me to be able to achieve a my full potential, I need motivation and guidance that you bring to the table." (Request)
"Mom, won't you help me stay motivated so that I can have the inspiration to achieve greater scholastic success?"

Edit: And each of the two solicitations could have substantially different success rates, depending on the personality of the receiver and the communication skills/techniques of the sender. I have tried teaching this understanding of communication to the guy who posted this thread, but I'm not sure he's ready to understand this level of thought, yet. Nice guy, though. He'll get there....or his parents will kill him first.

The plan was to make them feel responsible for his grades.

I'm the laziest person I know, if I wasn't so fucking bored, I'd post all my B's and A's I manage to get in tests, if you look at the previous screenshots, you can see I have like 5 out of 20 homework assignments turned in, So, I slacked off for 180 days of school, and only have to actually give a shit for 12 days, I only have 8 left, and we don't even go on Fridays, I'm actually sort of smart, I used to be in Algebra, Challenge English, & Spanish but I didn't do my work in Algebra, that's why in Screenshot #2 it says "Lisa Delgudice
"No scores have been recorded" when I met the requirements for Challenge English, I had to write a book report to get in, the problem was, when I had to do this, I didn't completely finish reading a book the entire year, because when my 6th grade teacher told us (yes, my Elementary school is K-6th and Middle school here is 7th-8th) we had a book report coming up, I'd cheat and use spark notes the previous day and pass the report, so when the time came, I forgot the summary of the books I've cheated off the entire year, so I got sent to normal easy as fuck English teaching shit I've known since 1st grade like "what's a noun," so I slacked off there. with Spanish, as English, I met the requirements to go there, to get in, we simply had to turn in a paper, due to me being mild hoarder when it comes to my backpack, I lost it before I could go home. I failed Pre-algebra because I didn't want to fucking re-learn all the shit I've known since 5th grade so I just went to sleep in his class or said "Mr. green I gotta take a shit!" and play pokemon in the bathroom during the period.
 
My teachers and family keep telling me that if I tried I'd be on all A*s. But the way I see it, if I can pass without trying, why bother, right?

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You're the parent. Your kid, who is admittedly and repeatedly known for slacking on his grades, comes to you with that kind of a report card. Instead of him owning up to it, he chooses the speech patterns that you had typed earlier. You are criticized and blamed for his poor grades. Also, he critiques your parenting style.

I don't see the parents taking responsibility for the problem. Maybe in Europe that may work. Instead, I believe that the parents would be infuriated and disgusted for the child passing all blame off on the parenting. But what do I know? xD
