[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] OnToMars, I'm getting here really late, but have you talked to your mother yet? If so, how did it go? I can certainly sympathize with you on your situation. I've been in the same boat. My story is an extreme bit on the long side, so I'll save the story of betrayal, mistrust, and redemption for another day. I hid my grade problems for a long time from my parents. The main reason was that I did not want to disappoint them. They've always had high expections for me, and I've always wanted to make them proud. They never pushed me or nagged me about my grades, but there's just then instinctual thing in my head that tells me I need to do my best for them. I'm wondering if a psychologist would have lots of fun with me. You up for a challenge, Liam? :) Anyway, I finally had to spill everything after my grade problems had reached critical mass. When I told my parents, I was just honest with them. I told then exactly why I was having problems. I let them in on how much my job in the dorms was affecting my ability to study effectively, and how at times I cared more about my job than school. I told them that I always tried to do well, but sometimes I just couldn't force myself to that. Fortunately, my parents were understanding. They weren't too happy with the four failing marks on my transcript, but they were glad that I finally told them what was going on. OnToMars, here's my advise for you (if it isn't too late). Be honest with your mother. Do not lie; do not exaggerate. Simply tell your mother why things happened and how they were allowed to happen. Tell her that you are sorry that this happened, and try and convince her that you will do better the following semester. And beyond that, actually do better that semester. Sit down and think of everything that has distracted you and figure a way to fight against it. It's easier said than done, but it has helped me a bit. Best of luck to you when you talk to her. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
