my mom keeps telling me to bring my grade up from an A- to an A in a college level chemistry class. She also doesnt care about good grades i get and only focuses on the bad ones

wow.... thats not really that crazy...
i remember in 1st or 2nd grade i brought home a 95 on my spelling test because i have real bad handwriting. i was still satisfied with my excellent grade. i showed it to my mother and she said, "what the fuck happened to the other 5 points?"

what you should have done was do horrible in hs, so that your parents lower theyre expectations. my parents are stoked on anything over 65 now.

yeah my parents used to get pissed off when they'd see me less than 80 in a subject, but it didn't matter anyways because everything i applied for in university, i got accepted to. i guess they just don't want to see you have your options limited because you slacked off. makes sense.. but sometimes parents tend to go overboard, like mine used to.

my dad's nuts. I have a 3.6 in a difficult engineering program and everytime he sees my GPA he shakes his head and says "you know you need to bring that up, its shit." And highschool was even worse. If i even got a B he took away my car. Good thing i never did.

same. mine flipped cos i didnt get high effort marks (yes they mark you for effort at my od school) even though they mean sfa.
i ended up getting 95% as my final grade and still that wasnt good enough "because i could have done better" fuck doing better, the only courses that need higher than 95 are like law and petroleum engineering or some shit

I came out of highschool with an A average and my parents were dissappointed. In university now with a C+ average and I guess they have a right to be dissappointed now. But an A, common.

Yeah, my dad passed remarks like "your gonna fail french and you will never be a man" all the time just because I got 56 in french. For the first time I exploded on him!

you must be young and stupid. Over new years I talked to a career skibum and he said its great for the first couple years unti lyou want to get amrried and have kids. You cannot support a family off a ski patrol or instructor's wages. He is now 45 and is just able to make enough money to contribute to the family income. Lucky he married a doctor. The best thing to do if you want to be a skibum is to take a year off between highschool and college and go out west and live at a mountain for the year. Then the next year go back college, get a degree or diploma, and get a job you can support yourselff off of.

My situation in a nutshell. My parents freaked out about anything below 90s in Jr and High School, and now that I'm in University, paying my own way, every time they tell me to bring up my grades, I tell them to pay for it so I don't have to work during school.
All times are Eastern (-4)
