Apparently...
My parents called me a "failure and disappointment" to them. And guess why?

I got my report card. I did fucking good on it. But noooooo, My parents don't think so.

Design and drawing for production: 96

Pre-calculus: 98

French 5HR: 100

English: 91

Physics: 93

Cisco networking: 97

European History AP: 94

Woodshop: 87

I made powercard, principals list, honor roll, AND got an award. But my parents say my grades needed to all be at LEAST 95. They are calling me a failure of their "expectations" and are just sniping at me whenever they can.

I have so much to fucking deal with I can't take this right now. I'm mad as hell and would advise you guys to steer clear of me for a bit.

P.S. This is how american school differs from albanian school.

In american school, you get a grade for participation, behavior, homework, quizzes. In albanian schools you would get called on by your teacher ONCE A MONTH and get a grade for 1 question. You were asked 3 questions by your teacher in a marking period and thats it. Also they are also sniping at my slacking in tennis and soccer. I find it quite hard to run like hell and twist and turn really fast when I have a IV tube inside me 24/7 and I have a painful toe infection.

I'm just going to keep ranting on. They are criticizing every damn thing I do. If I talk bad, they complain that I have a bad attitude. I'm so fucking mad.

Im not sure how the US schooling works and how good ur scores are which they are probly are. did they really call u a disappointment because when u are mad you tend to think that they did?
Tox, parents will never be comformist... they will always want more and more and more...

I go to school in new york. I am 17, and the grades are out of 100.

E: woodshop is a class where you make stuff out of wood, which I hate.

Parents are silly, far from perfect themselves >.>
