Getting C+ on your test?

well it seems today i got a C+ on my math test. my average right now is 85.75%, a B+. my mom is really being bItchy and how do i make her stop. it gets really annoying when i have to keep her blabbering about how i'm doing crap in school and blab blah blah.





how do i tell her to be quiet and there are far worse things that can happen and what can i use as an excuse for doing poorly?





thanks ^_^

Getting C+ on your test?
Since I don't have your mom's side of things, this is a tough one to answer...:) I always told my now 19 year old daughter that I didn't care what grade she got as long as she did her very best work at all times. That meant turning in all work, and studying hard for tests. Now, if you've done that and you still got a C+, there must be some math concept you aren't understanding. Can you go to your mom and tell her you are struggling a bit and plan to ask your teacher for some help and would appreciate it if she could support you in that?





By the way, almost ALL moms are really annoying about school grades!! LOL. We want you to do as well as possible because the competition for jobs out in the real world is ferocious!! Times have changed drastically. You have to really fight for your dreams now.





Maybe in a calm moment, when you aren't talking about school, you could approach your mom and ask her if you could talk to her about how you are feeling. Tell her the truth. The more she criticizes you, the more pressure you feel, the worse you do, the more she'll worry, etc. Also tell her how important good grades are to you and what you are doing to keep those grades up. She'll see that as you being responsible. Trust me, she will.





As for excuses, getting one C+ is not doing poorly. It's one grade on one test. You have a B+ average overall. You don't need an excuse. You need communication with mom. If that doesn't work, please talk to your school counselor.





Sincerely,





Joy
