Jumping the gun

By Anonymous - 13/09/2022 02:00

Today, I got my report card, and thought I did pretty well with a GPA of 3.58. My parents freaked out over the 3 B's I had, and proceeded to look up which colleges would still accept me. I just finished my first quarter as a freshman in high school. FML
I agree, your life sucks 1 216
You deserved it 116

you did phenomenal. your parents are ******* idiots. don't ever let them make you feel like a damn near perfect is a failure. let them try and do better

I think the universe is pointing you to trade school. Hey, you'll make a good living and be valuable to the community.

tell them you're saving them money because they won't have to pay tuition for the most expensive college

That's a great achievement!! Also let parents worry, that's their right. But make sure your future courses/studies/plans are yours to make. Listen, but make your own decision. You have one life to do it your way, and sometimes those choices don't alone with parents vision of you, that's okay they want what's best (in their view anyways). Most colleges will happily take you, and every choice is available, if not by high grades way then college advisors can help you with access or guide you through. My friend got low points, and did an arts degree with concentration on science and psychology, 8yrs later she works as a children's psychologist. By all accounts she should have never made it, low grades, teen pregnancy twice, but she made it had to study a year longer, but working closely with college will get you wherever you want to be and maybe it isn't college but trade school, or traveling.

you'll appreciate the push one day... you know you did good 😉🙂
