Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML

13- I have autism and a VERY terrible attention span. On top of that, I can barely remember anything. I walk out of my room and forget where I want to go very often. I still had good grades and excelled despite this. All you have to do is pay attention, stay organized, and try. Just because it isn't easy doesn't make it impossible. OP just sounds lazy.

sorry but ydi. I"m sure if you put more effort into your academic studies, you'll improve and by extension, also get back your phone.

Exactly! If being successful doesn't motivate you, let the phone as a reward be your motivation :D

My thoughts exactly. People expect everything handed to them on a platter. You have to earn things. An iPhone is expensive. Getting good grades is not a lot to ask in order to get an iPhone..

But the thing is you don't know OP has bad grades. Maybe they have B+'s in all their classes but the parents want A's. Thing is the parents took it away for bad grades but failed to check OP's grades before giving it to them.

OP should know the expectations of her parents. Nobody here said she had bad grades.

FYL for having the phone taken away but at the same time YDI for the grades.

Bummer! Cuz Siri could help you cheat on tests and get those grades right up. But, I don't think teachers will let you talk to her during a test. "Siri, what's the answer to number 11." "It is definitely c)."

Siri seems to have a hard time hearing sometimes, so "What's number eleven?" could end up as "Water numb for seven."

I once asked Siri "What's the meaning of Life?"..... I got a huge list of local churches. :P

Actually that's pretty a good motivator for you to work harder.

ydi. seriously apply yourself, stop worrying about stupid crap so you can graduate and move out and far, far away from your parents as soon as possible. then you'll be thankful for what they did.

What're you complaining about? You'll get it back if you bring your grades up, or you could have just shown a small amount of effort beforehand. I've never had lower than a B in school and I got a candle and some gloves for Christmas. I hate this world. I hate Christmas. Bah.

Get your grades up and they'll probably give it back. You should keep a good GPA anyway; you'll want to get into college paying the least possible.

I'm glad I got out of high school before thy started doing that shit. You know those teachers are just going to take forever to enter the grades online, so it'll look like you don't have any shit turned in. It's like the worst nightmare for a student of paranoid parents with trust issues.
