I need help telling my family im failing.?

In school, we have 3 terms.


and i failed 4 subjects in all 3 terms.


that makes me a candidate for repeating my batch.


theres nothing i can do now to change my grades.


How do i tell this all to my parents?


they dont know about it..i dont want them to scream at me anymore.. i know i deserve it, but, ive had too much already..I need help telling my family im failing.?
Tell them honestly that you weren't sure how to approach them because you didn't want to make them angry. Tell them that you failed the courses, and tell them why *if you know why*. Tell them how they can help. But be honest. If they find out on their own they are likely to be more upset.





Good luck. Hopefully by confronting them they can help you get your school work around for next time.I need help telling my family im failing.?
how old r u dont tell them
Just be really humble about it and tell them you already know you should've done better.
Tell them you were having trouble in all three terms.
Clean the house first like the kitchen And tell them after .. usually take it better and DO UR SCHOOL WORK! haha
it will be hard, and there may be some concquences but your parents will help you stay foccused.
Well, i would sit them down, and tell them how sorry you are. Then you should ask them for some help! Tell them that you just dont understand the courses, and tell them that you will do anything to raise your grades!!
You need to do it now! Make sure they hear it from you first. You gotta sit them down and explain that you're scared to tell them, but tell them. If you are having trouble in, then maybe they can help you or get you help. Good luck.
tell them that u did the best u could to raise up youre grades and that u could attend summer school thats if ur still in high school or middle school...but if ur in college or university ur scrude =/... but the best way is just tell them the truth


Good luck
tell them
First u have to catch them in a good mood never tell ur family bad things when they are in a bad mood. its just common sense. But anyway well I WOULD SUGGEST JUST TELLING THEM U ARE FAILING THEN SUGGEST A TUTOR OR ANY OTHER kind of specific help!!!!!!! that will lead then to the fact that u would like to get your grades up and they wont be so hard on u!!! good luck!!!
i think that you should tell to hear you out and then tell them what they want to hear... that you screwed up and you know it and then the reason why you did so bad (stress, hard classes, you didnt make an effort, or something like that) and that you arent going to let it continue and that you are going to work hard and that even tho you know you deserve to be yelled at, you already feel awful about it and would appreciate just a little bit of faith in you and your ability to get your sh*t together on your own...
tell your parents truth. slowly start by one by one subjects and tell them
the best thing to do is just to tell your parents. they're going to find out anyways and theyr'e gonna be even madder. so you might as well tell. yeah they'll probably be pissed. but like you said you deserve it. Since you can't to anything for your grades try extra credit or anything that will atleast raise your grades a little. good luck
Maybe u can take tutoring or sumthing Tell ur parents the truth and why u failed and tell them u have so much stress right now
We want our children to succeed because we love them, but sometimes we don't know what to do to help them. Sometimes parents yell at their kids because they just get so frustrated. Don't worry about the yelling too much. It will pass. That being said, here is what would probably work on this ol' mom to keep me calm. Do something nice for your parents that will help them feel relaxed and in a friendly disposition, like make them dinner, or ask them to go for a walk with you... whatever shows them that you care about them. When the timing is right, say something like, ';I have some news you are not going to like, but I need your help and I need you to not yell at me, okay?'; When you get the okay, spill it and take full responsibilty for your failure at school. Do not say it was your teacher's fault (all of them) or the work is boring, or any stupid thing like that, that would only serve to tick them off and start the yelling. Hopefully it will all work out with that approach.


Best wishes!
Well, do you know why you failed? Was is because you didn't turn things in, or because you did badly on tests? Sit down with you 'rents and tell them the truth. Apologize for not telling them sooner. Promise to do better next term, and *come through* on your promise. They will yell, there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry I can't be more help.

As far as telling them about your grades, there's really nothing for it but to suck it up and get it over with. It will look a lot better for you if you do some work first toward finding the resources you need to get yourself back on track academically (tutors, study groups, help from faculty, etc.). Also, when you tell them the bad news, try asking them to help you fix it. Some thing along the lines of: ';Mom, Dad...I have something to tell you that you're not going to like but I want you to hear me out before you say anything. I know I haven't said anything about this before and I should have but the fact of the matter is that I'm failing in school and it looks like I'm going to have to repeat. I've already arranged for some help from my teachers and from a tutor and I plan on joining a study group, as well. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner and I'm really sorry that I've let you down, but I'd also really like your help getting myself back on track.';





I've also found that telling people things in a letter can make it easier to say everything you want to say without being interrupted and it also gives you both some room to calm down before you discuss it face to face.





That being said, I'm actually much more concerned about your statement that you ';don't want them to scream at you anymore.'; That you use the word ';anymore'; implies that they scream at you pretty regularly. That you think you actually deserve to be screamed at is even more troubling. It sounds to me like your relationship with your parents may very well be an abusive one (verbally, at least) and you're likely suffering some serious self esteem issues as a result. This in turn will affect your performance in school--if you think you deserve to be screamed at, chances are you also think you don't deserve to succeed.





I would reccommend talking with a councilor or a therapist at your school about this. If what I suspect is true, you need help with a lot more than your grades.





Nobody deserves to be abused.
jason, tell them the truth...





they may be mad at you, but they will eventually get over it. if they have to find out on their own, it will be harder for them to get past this and help you.





just tell them that you need to talk to them about something very important.





first thing is to tell them how terribly sorry you are for hurting them. because this is a very painful thing for a parent ( i have a 14 almost 15 y/o son who is failing as well). they have high expectations for you primarily because they want you to succeed in life.





tell them that you are sorry for disappointing them, that you know that this is your doing, that you are owning it, you take responsibility, and that you are going to accept what ever punishment they decide to give you.





tell them that you are going to work yourself to the end to never disappoint them again, or to disappoint yourself like this.





you are a young man, and you will go through experiences in life in which you will make these type of mistakes. but it's not the end. if you have to repeat a grade, accept it, and make sure that you not only reach the expectations that they have for you, but that you set your own even higher than what everyone expects of you. this you have to start doing not when next school year starts. but now. even thou you know that you will not pass, out do yourself and apply yourself.





trust me, they will be hurt for a while, but if you show them that you mean every word you say, they will come back to you in a loving and supporting way. just don't expect for it to be overnight. especially if they have been trying to get to you see what was going on for a while.





bottom line. to be a grown up, is to own your mistakes and take care of things with total responsibility. without putting blame on anyone. and even if you don't agree with what they say, you are not in the position to disagree. so, keep it to yourself.





good luck next year...oh and other kids will get over you repeating in a couple of weeks.
i suggest that you sit down and write a letter explaining why you have been and are failing. it has to be something and ask for help in dealing w/ this problem. you always put it in writing so that you stick to the points you want to make and get heard by your parents. tell them that you would like to talk to them and ask that they let you read the letter com pletely before responding and end the end you know that you can do better and hopefully they will understand. another alternative could be to do the same thing but ask your guidance counselor at shool to have them come in and you can read the letter there and also have a little support. parents are usually easier to talk to in a school setting so i wish you the best and try to work harder next year also do they have summer school where you live if so i'd go and make sure you do well there or you will fail.
Wait a minute.... It's the the third term, and your in eighth grade? As a Father of an eighth grader, how do they not already know? What did they say after the first term? I'm afraid we failed YOU, not the other way around. You need their help, you need their support, you need their parenting! You also need to repeat 8th grade, and the attention of a school counselor to help you and your parents set you on a new path and turn this around before high school where it really matters the most. Yes you need to tell them, but you need to ASK for their help and support, and that you are committed to turn this around! Thank God it's eighth grade, but it would've been better if it was fifth, but better than your Senior year. You can do this, and so can your parents!! Let's turn this around and use this as motivation and maybe you're high school years will be even more productive than they would've been without this experience.
Jason, its me. (Corje Blala) Listen to me.





You have to tell them. I know its hard, but its the only way that this can be fixed. They can help you. Besides, they're pretty much obliged to help you: They're you're parents, its their job.





And you know what? If they scream -- let them scream. Hell, its their vocal chords that'll be stressed. Not yours. Just be calm. Keep your cool.





Some tips:





* don't forget to show sympathy for your actions.


* try to let them feel your guilt


* apologize


* tell them that you really want to make up for it, and that you will do anything to take it all back.





Just let them know that you are in need of their advice. If they really love you, they will act like good parents and help you out.





Just keep your hopes up. I'm sure things will work out. I'll pray for you. :)
