FUCK
Today is the parent meeting at my school. Just want to explain briefly what I do at school. In most of the classes, like French, Physics, Geography, Bulgarian and psychology I get mostly A's and B's. In math, spanish, biology and chemestry I suck balls. I have no problem with getting the stuff we learn in math, but I always fucking make dumb mistakes that screw up the whole problem and I end up with a C. The other 3 are just fucking boring and I don't need them for my diploma in the end of the year. My parents are used to me being the smartest kid in class and getting the best grades. They want me to be the FUCKING BEST. So when I get a B or a C there is a really huge scandal. Well, now every fucking teacher in the school will be there and 70% of them will be explaining how I'm not taking school seriously, how I don't pay much attention at school etc. So my spanish, math, chemestry and biology teachers will be explaining how much I FUCKING SUCK AND DON'T PAY ATTENTION. When the phrase " Doesn't pay attention in class" slips away from their FUCKING MOUTH, my parents will reach boiling point. That and also the F and the C in Biology and Math. Just wanted to vent somewhere. I'm fucking dead. Possibly my power cable will be locked in the basement, my Magic:the gathering cards to, also all stuff that can actually bring happyness in my life. In two hours they're comming back from the parent meeting. So...
SHIT FUCK FUCKING SHIT FUCKFUCKFUCK
Well...
Get your grades up.
So, what I'm hearing is that they're going to take your Spiders away until you learn more things.
I'd thank them, if I were you.
Holy shit, you mean if you don't pay attention you'll get bad grades?
An F in Biology is pathetic tbh. Pay moar attention.
It's fucking biology in French. And we must know the fucking name, function etc. of all genes, hormones, stuff we don't really need to know in French.
Thanks for reminding me how much it can suck to be a kid. On the plus side, you're on the rising side of the "freedom" bell-curve.

They teach you subjects in foreign languages?
Damn, maybe if they did that here (and not just for the ESOL kids) Americans would be a tad bit smarter.
My folks were the same way about grades, and I tanked a few classes too. Some of these were related to poor teaching, but a majority was my love of slacking off. It might not come down as bad as you think, teachers act different around folks they don't see every day.
Your happy stuff going away? Fuck it. Sometimes you're cold, lonely, UNhappy and misserable lower than you ever thought. I'm lucky, stuff's gone well for me and they still happen; nothing stops the bad moments.
Focus, and taking care of the shit you need to do to keep the show rolling keeps them minimal though.
Good luck!
Somewhat related, I'll be going to a parent-teacher conference tomorrow for my daughter.
This means I'm officially old right?

I am 41, and I have to do that shit all the time, mostly because my daughter makes me look like Leo Buscalia.
A lot of shit is useless in an overall sense - except for the college admissions testings or SATs of you gringos.
Even if the subjects suck, try to do better, sometime youll be glad you did.
But no internets? thats just cruel.

You lack a proper understanding of the superiority of the Norte Americano culture, that's your problem. Parent/teacher conferences exist to ensure that feelings of anxiety and inferiority are instilled in childen in the home as well as in the school system. This makes for meek, compliant adults that are glad to have any job, no matter how dismal and unrewarding.

Sounds like an elective.
Next time pick a more interesting elective, or something useful like Spanish.
Also, if putting effort into your classes is too much work for you, get a job and move out. Then you can do whatever you want. Right? :lulz:

They have no "jobs" in Bulgaria.
your in Bulgaria, right?
i can totally symapthize with you Dallekk.
i was wonderboy in school until i started thinking and rejecting around my junior year of HS. They took away my Fun Things, too. (i was able to hide my M:tG cards though)
I fucked off and screwed my grades up. they kicked me out of the house. they eventually asked me back after i called their bluff and got a shitty apartment. then they kicked me out again after i continued to be an angsty little turd.
but it's all good. you learn lessons. you screw around for a few years smoking way too much. you get married to a good girl, and get your head straight, then bust your balls making up for lost time, and then everything is fine.
just don't burn any bridges even if it gets heated with your parents, because it sounds like they're on your side, and things will be fine in the end...
or you could start studying....
I fucked off in school, got the boot, got in trouble, went into the army, finished high school and college while in, got back on track.

It was pretty fucking sad. At one of my retreats there was no less than 50% of the group who talked about how their parents pressured them to get good grades. There was this one girl who really stood out. She was getting straight As. Like 97-100 averages. She got a 92 on a quiz and her parents went ape-shit. She said she pretty much had two options. Give up her life as a kid, study her ass off, to please her parents. Or ease up, be a kid, get A- instead of A's, and be virtually disowned by her parents.
The definition of "success" in American society, and I'm sure others, is so fucked up it isn't even funny.

That's terrorist-talk, that's what that is.
America™ is all about competing for the dwindling number of actual jobs left. Run, run, run, and don't ever look back, because something might be chasing you. You will learn to toe the line, meet the impossible standard, and go all the way to the finish line, which is a 4X8X6 hole in the ground with a trophy over it marking your name, dates of competition, and an epitaph involving how you should have spent more time at the office.
America™ is all about owning a $400,000 house, a Lexus and a Hummer, and having cut abs, or you're a fucking loser. Do you hear me? A FUCKING LOSER.
And America™ hates a loser. America™ will forgive anything, except being a loser.
Start running, sucker.

Frankly, life is hard. You have the option to make it easier by trying to do better in a class you don't especially like, but you don't want to, because you don't feel like it.
Waaaaaaah.
Eh, my kids make decent grades. Some times they have a particular class they issues with, sometimes the teacher has issues with the kid. I try not to overly sweat it. I'll accept a C or better but they had better have made the effort and just didn't make the grade rather than fucked off and didn't do the shit they were supposed to.
I'll excuse ignorance, stupidity is punishable by cleaning the bathroom with a toothbrush to start, then I get really inventive!
All parents want what is best for their kids, but having lived in the "You must make straight A's or you will never see the light of day" regime in my childhood, I just can't do the same to my kids. I don't beat them either, so go figure.....
If you've just been fucking off and not doing the work, sorry, you're on your own!

I would actually feel sorry for him if he was trying and a C was the best he could pull off. That happens. It's the "Waaaaah I'm having my toys taken away because I don't feel like making an effort in this class" that makes me want to kick him down the stairs. WTF.
Being a kid is actually hard for some people. This is his biggest problem? That he doesn't want to try because he thinks the class is useless? :lulz:

I dropped out of third grade and still don't have a college degree.
There are easier ways to go about things, I can say that for sure.
YAAAY! The physics teacher kept repeating how good where my grades in physics. The French teacher was very satisfied with my succes. The math teacher explained that I applied all the formulas correctly, just that I made stupid mistakes like replacing a - with a +. And even the teachers in the classes I suck at where happy, because I got a first place on a contest that was very imortant to the school and therefore they thought that my insuccesses in their classes where caused by me spending a lot of time preparing for the contest. So HELL YEAH! I get to keep my fun things, and my mom was really happy that all the teachers told her how important my first place at the contest was to the school :banana:
contest?
Briefly it was our school and a bunch of other schools compeating about who'se got better students.
Man it doesn't sound like you have it too bad. I was on suicide watch from my second year until I finished secondary because of one stupid comment I made when another kid killed himself "He's better off". I had nothing but patronizing semisympathy from the nice teachers and overbearing intrusion into my personal life from the mean ones.
I know you're not looking but the best way to fuck with mean teachers is to always act oblivious to their meanness and refer to them on a first name basis and be really friendly.
I was a perfect student in school.
And by perfect, I mean "did enough work to pass with the grades I wanted and was well-behaved enough to be ignored by the teachers", which then gave me a free hand to do my own thing as I wanted. Because I was the archtype of a good student, I got away with things no-one else could, which suited me just fine.
Only one teacher ever caught onto what I was doing, and he entirely approved, since he was gaming the school system in a similar way, to his financial benefit.
I was always slightly concerned about parents evening, because some teachers will always take an irrational dislike to you, no matter how non-confrontational and good at the subject you are, but it never amounted to anything.

I didn't go to school, and I did whatever I wanted all the time.
Which, quite frankly, isn't as awesome as it might sound. Most of the time what I wanted involved hiding in the woods, killing things and eating them raw. Adapting to civilized life took some doing.

Yup.
Didn't have to do too much to keep a 3.5 average (out of 4, for you non-GPA-using folks), so instead of pushing for th 4.0, I used my free time in much more interesting ways. My grades, plus my complely non-offensive mode of dress, made it possible for me to get away with just about anything.

Yeah. No one knew where she came from or really even talked about her much, but she lived in the woods of Butler, PA and practically everyone there saw her at least once. She must have been about 14, judging by how tall she was when I saw her.

Yeah. No one knew where she came from or really even talked about her much, but she lived in the woods of Butler, PA and practically everyone there saw her at least once. She must have been about 14, judging by how tall she was when I saw her.

Wow.
I wonder what ever happened to her?
Sarah Palin shot her from a helicopter.
:x
