Today, my parents saw my report card. Now, they refuse to buy me my the new computer I've always wanted because my grades had 'slipped'. I made honor roll for three terms, and was kept off for the fourth for a single bad grade. I failed gym. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I got my report card from school. I pulled my grade up in Algebra from a D to an A. My parents told me that they never expected me to accomplish this, and good job but they've already enrolled me in boarding school. So much for all that extra credit and staying late after school to study. FML

Today, I was threatened to be held back because of the lack of teacher-parent communication. My parents refuse to sign my report card because of my one mark below ninety percent. My teacher was dead serious about failing me. FML

Today, I got my grades back. They were all 98's and 99's with also a 104 (extra-credit). I got refused from entering an honors club, because it's "impossible to get above a hundred in a math class". I even got investigated for cheating. FML

Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. FML

Today, I got my report card, and thought I did pretty well with a GPA of 3.58. My parents freaked out over the 3 B's I had, and proceeded to look up which colleges would still accept me. I just finished my first quarter as a freshman in high school. FML

Today, I found out that my parents lied to me about my GPA so they could go back on our agreement of "3.0 or above or summer school" and had no intention of honoring the agreement anyway. I've been in summer school doing catch-up for kicks. FML

Today, my report card finally came in. My mom took one look at it and told me that if I'm not going to take my grades seriously, I might as well start looking for a sugar daddy. But first, I apparently need to work on prettying myself up. FML

Today, I got my report card. My teacher gave me an F, and under class comments she gave me a U for unsatisfactory. So I got an F U from my teacher. FML

Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML

Today, my math teacher brought his laptop to tally up all our scores for our report card. He then displayed the results on a big screen in front of the whole class. The ones who failed were marked yellow. I was the only one marked yellow. FML

Having your grades "slip" is one thing, but FAILING gym? ydi.

To pass gym don't you have to just show up? Even if you aren't athletic all you have to do is make an ounce of effort. This feels like YDI.

Just, fyi, I seriously love you, #77, for "kids have a ridiculous sense of entitlement". Thank you for taking the words right out of my mouth. Learn sooner rather than later that you can't expect to fall back on your parents every time you want something "new". Take a lesson from this; learn to better yourself and start working for the things you want. Trust me when I tell you that it is SO MUCH nicer to buy something for yourself from the money you've EARNED yourself rather than to receive a gift from your parents. WTH, FML? You cut out my whole post!

#181, do you think it is below the belt to comment on one's grammar while it is not if commenting on one's shape?

How is it possible to fail Gym?

My gym class was 50% written tests on the histories of whatever sport we were doing that month, 25% showing up, and 25% of succeeding in learning the skills. THAT'S how it's possible to fail gym. Seriously, though, you failed gym? I was REALLY fat, skipped class all the time, never studied for the stupid tests, and got caught cheating when running the mile for the physical fitness exam my freshman year of high school. I STILL passed with a B, though. What the hell did you do to fail gym? Sounds like you suck at life. You deserve to get punished for failing, but since it's gym, I say they make you pay for half the computer yourself.
