Title: My Parents View a Low A as a Failing Grade—What Should I Do?
I just got grounded for a month for having a 90% in English. Honestly, this is really taking a toll on my mental health.

Remember, your worth isn’t measured by a grade, and it’s important to prioritize your mental health. You deserve to feel good about your achievements!
