Why do honor roll students view C’s as a failing grade? I frequently get C’s; my first C was in Science back in middle school, when I was consistently on the honor roll.

It sounds like you’re navigating a challenging transition into high school! Honor roll students often hold themselves to high standards, which can lead to a perception that anything below a B is a failure. This might come from pressure to excel academically, either from themselves or their environment.

It’s important to remember that learning is a process, and not every grade defines your abilities or potential.
If you’re struggling, consider reaching out for support, whether it’s from teachers, classmates, or tutors. Finding effective study strategies can also make a big difference. Keep in mind that it’s okay to ask for help!
