Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my parents when they called me a bad driver. Imagine their smugness when I had to call them two hours later and tell them that I drove into a pole. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my mom told me to stop using my phone and talk to them, but whenever I do that, they just end up yelling at me and telling me to go to my room. FML
Today, my parents finally took me driving after months of me having my permit. I got yelled at for asking questions. I only needed to know which way they wanted me to turn on the next street after they told me to turn, but not which way. FML
Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML

Ask your teacher if you could bring the test home

I had the same thing happen to me, my teacher emailed my parents that I had a 5 on my homework for the semester, and I was grounded. It was out of a scale of 5.

Ask your teacher to email your parents and explain that it was out of 50?

Most parents would then respond to that by grounding you for being cheeky and disrespectful. Just explain it calmly and don't get emotional, otherwise you'll just give them an angle to work against you with.

Asian parents. Next time, you have to get 100 out of 50, or you will be disowned.

God dammit, I was gonna make a similar comment minutes ago but didn't wanna be "that guy" walking the line of the racism clause.

Sometimes parents just don't understand.

Why do parents react this way? Sorry OP hope they listen the next time you try and explain something.

I would have to say tell them the letter grade you earned first, then the number of correct answers.

Some schools don't do letter grades, just actual numbers. That's what my school does.
