got my report card back last period and the grades were as expected but it didn't set in till i actually got it. so the grades aren't bad but they are for me. i have like a 3.8 cumulative gpa. but that is horrible for me. so now if my parents see it they are gonna blame it on skiing. it has nothing to do with skiing its just the classes got harder. so should i tell the fam or just hide the report card

wow your semester is already up? i think thats kind of uncalled for by your parents to get upset when their son (you) has a 3.8

yeah we end semesters at christmas. doesn't everyone just about? but i know that they are good grades for most. i just know that they are gonna be really mad. i mean i still have exemplary honors and all of that dumb stuff. i will just have to listen to them for weeks about how i don't apply myself. which is kinda true becuase i should be making a 40 minute lesson about emily dickinson right now becuase my english teacher is lazy and doesn't want to teach poetry herself. don't you always love when the teachers say that they are just trying creative teaching when you know its just becuase they are lazy

It's high school, it doesn't even matter. You'll be able to get into the same schools you would with a 3.8 as a 4.0 if you do well on your ACT's.

Skiing nearly messed up my degree. Had to work my ass off for 4 months at the end and it all came good. Never give up on skiing just for school/college. You can always fit it in.

hiding it would only get them more angry. i mean they are bound to find out. think about it. just tell them you are sorry and will make sure it doesn't happen again

dude if you are mad about gettin a 3.8 you need to try takin some real classes. colleges would rather see someone with a 3.7 in a bunch of honors and ap shit than a 4.0 in basket weaving. tell your parents to shut the hell up, no sucessful person I've met in my life has done well in school, it really doesn't matter that much just learn what you can. this is on a 4.0 scale right?

yo i just got my grades and I have a 3.06, which I'm stoked about. I needed a 3.0 to stay in my business school (ok, cuttin it a little close) and more importantly I needed a 2.5 to go on domestic exchange next year!! wooot. If you stress out about gettin 3.8s in college you are gonna have a terrible 4 years.

i took a study hall for the winter term just so i could get hw and shit done so id have more time for skiing. not a bad idea, cause my grades are really good right now and i dont gotta do any shit at home.
If your parents get pissed just give em a guilt trip. whenever my mom gets upset about me goin skiin, i just say stuff like
"the ski season here is so short though"
"i hate it here why do we have to live here"

If I had a 3.8 I could miss half of the week to go skiing. But sadly I dont.
All times are Eastern (-5)
