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.
I realize this might be a tough topic to discuss, so if you don’t want to engage, I completely understand. I just needed to vent about what I’m going through.
I can’t stand group projects. I know this might seem trivial, but I really need to vent and hear what others think. Apologies if my English isn’t perfect—I’m still learning. As I said, I really dislike group projects. They’re the absolute worst, especially since I’m one of the more creative people in my class and […]
Classroom Cloud At my school, we’re required to use Code.org while Classroom.cloud restricts access to everything else.

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.

You might also want to explain to them that grades aren’t everything and that they can impact your well-being.
If talking doesn’t seem possible, try to find a support system outside of that, like friends or a school counselor. It’s important to have people who understand what you’re going through. 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!
