I have been grounded for 3 months because of poor grades. Why?

I have been grounded from everything i enjoy for the past 3 months. I am 15 years old and because of my poor grades I have not been able to hang out with my friends, have a cell phone, or leave the house. In the past school year my grades have been going down, but i study everyday and have been working extremely hard to bring them up. I am not the type of person who would slack off in school and no matter how hard i try i can not raise them to my parents expectations. This is not a new event as my parents grounded me last year for the same reason many different times. Being grounded has not changed my grades and has cost me my whole sophomore year and also caused me to have to quit my rock band, which i loved. Does anyone have any advice on getting out of my punishment or raising my grades? It would be greatly appreciated.I have been grounded for 3 months because of poor grades. Why?
I also have a sophomore child and we also ground her for her grades. But there are rules to the grounding, First she needs to go and see if there is any extra credit that can be done with the teacher. She has one full week of no tv, phone, computer, friends, or boyfriend and chores to do around the house. Sit down and maybe give your parents some different forms of punishment, that is what our daughter did and it has worked out so far. She has been pulling A's and B's for the past 4 years.I have been grounded for 3 months because of poor grades. Why?
you are simply ';grounded'; off these things cuz you need that extra time to actually get yourself in check;; if your grades go up %26amp; down, I will guarantee you that it is not in the info that is given to you;; if your grades go up %26amp; down, it's not cuz you ';don't get it';;; if your grades go up %26amp; down, it's not that you can't keep them up;; your grades go up %26amp; down cuz you 1) don't care, then all of a sudden you realize, or are told, that you will get into trouble, or 2) you'd rather ';be'; somewhere else, or 3) your organizational skills really suck...take a look @ all those reasons, it's you, not your brain, but your heart;; you somehow need a reason to ';earn'; what you need;; well, your adult life, how about that for a reason to ';earn';...

my suggestion, figure out what will motivate you LONG TERM, %26amp; organize what ya gotta do by getting yourself on a strict schedule;; you'll find out soon enough that you really don't need all the time in the world to get A's....

btw, good luck, sincerely!!
explain to them what while they want you to do well in school, you should be allowed a social life too. keeping you grounded for 3 months when it isn't even helping your grades isn't really a helpful thing to do. they should be talking to your teachers, not keeping you in the house.
Yahoo Answers has a section called homework. If you don't understand something, go to Homework, and ask for help.



Secondly, I live in Garland, Texas (USA). All our school offer free tutoring after school for any student needing help. Is this available in your school district?



I do volunteer tutoring at our local public library. The students whom I tutor are usually on the A B honor roll after I work with them for a while. Ask your teachers and the librarian at your public library if they know of any free tutoring programs. I'm sure that there are a lot of people like me who want to make the world a better place by volunteering as a tutor.

The reason's there, you just have to look for it two lines above this one. It's rude I agree, but thats the answer to your question.
If you are really trying to raise your grades , ask your parents to help you ... then they can see your effort .
