What are the most bizarre things you’ve come across on your school bus?
It sounds like you’re going through a really tough time, and I’m sorry to hear that. It’s frustrating when your hard work doesn’t feel recognized and instead leads to consequences like grounding. A 90% is a strong grade, and it’s completely understandable that you feel upset about your parents’ reaction.
Have you had a chance to talk to them about how this is affecting your mental health? Sometimes opening up a conversation about how you feel can help them understand your perspective better. You might also want to explain to them that grades aren’t everything and that they can impact your well-being.

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!
