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

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.

The only way to fail gym is if you flat-out don't try. YDI.

1: How on earth can you fail gym?! (Unless you were just skipping it but then you deserved it ofc) 2: Buy your own computer u lazy sh**! I bought my first computer 10 years ago when i was 13, from my own money that i worked for! (A simple newspaper delivery job will do the trick, lazy biatch!)

How is it possible to fail GYM!!?!?!

All those book smarts and you can't pass the "effort" class. Effort - no matter the result - obtains a pass. ydi.

Alright, I'll admit it... I failed gym once in middle school because I went through the "I don't wanna get my hair wet in the middle of the day and not look good anymore!" phase. So, during the entire swim unit, I took an incomplete. I was such an idiot in middle school.

#43: Gym is a real class, as real as any other. You get a grade in it, it's a real class. Being in shape is important. Now I agree that it's not as important of a class for preparing you for a job as English or Chemistry, but how does not being as useful for adult life make it any less of a real class?

"...Buy me my the new computer?" Wow I'm not surprised that you didn't fail English.
