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’m feeling quite disappointed. Today marks the third day of Black History Month and the first school day of February.

Subject: Creeped Out 😟 🔥 If you’ve seen this before, it was on r/sgexams before it got taken down! Hey everyone!

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.
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!
