How do i explain this to my parents?

ok so this year my grades started slipping...im having a lot of trouble focusing in school. it's like ive lost interest, but yet i havent. i dont know how to explain it. its like i still care about my grades, but its hard to get motivated about it. i still WANT to care about school, but i just cant. my grades went from straight a's last year to two B's this year! its the end of the quarter and i can't change any grades anymore. i have a B in geometry (understandable i guess) but the one my parents will not understand is my B in PE. i totally forgot 2 assignments- and one of them i got a 0 on it and the other i got a 75 on it, so now my grade's a B. my parents are very strict and i dont know how to tell them how i got a b in PE, the easiest subject there is. their worst peeve is when i have missing/late assignments. how can i tell them? i feel very bad too for not bringing the assignments in on time (even tho i did them, i left it at home!) i need help how to tell my parents without them blowing up at me. im in 8th grade and the only B's they accept are the ones in math. help.How do i explain this to my parents?
I went from getting straight A's and high B's to C's, D's and failing a few courses when I switched to high school (overall. Not just grade 9) because it was different from elementry.

I had more to focus on, and I did lose intrest like you said. I didn't 'lose interest' but I just couldn't keep myself in it.



I really did a poor job explaining it, but it's just what happened.

My parents understood in the end, but it was a little hard on them in the beginning.

Now they've come to realize that as long as I pass, grades don't matter.

If I fail, I've gotta do it again.How do i explain this to my parents?
Honestly, just like you did here. Better yet, have them read this to break the ice.
I feel yah.. This same thing is happening to me to! (8th grade BTW) I don't really know what to do either. But for your parents you can tell them that no one is perfect. That you are sorry that you forgot and you will try your best next quarter and that you will put your best effort towards getting A's this quarter.
i had this problem when i was in high school. show your parents this post, and they should be understanding. if they aren't, ask them for a tutor or what you should do about it after they've calmed down. let them see that you're trying your best to do better. if they force you to do hardcore studying and stuff like that, explain to them you can't seem to focus on your schoolwork, no matter what you do. good luck :D
A's and B's are good there isn't anything wrong with getting a B. Your parents should be proud of you for trying your best not disappointed that you ain't perfect. Cos i'm sure there not perfect either. Most parents who expect the best from their children do it cos they weren't the best at school and they are living their dreams through their children.
i think ur parents are over strict! If they cant accept u for who u r, we thats their problem! Most people would be thrilled with all A's and only 2 B's!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know i would
Let them know that you need to discuss a problem with them. Tell them what you have told us and ask them for their help.



They may be upset but they would be more upset if they have to find out from your school report. Personally, as the parent of a teenager, I am far more impressed that he has the courage and confidence to share his problems like a young adult. I would also add that he has also tried to hide problems and has always found that the outcome with myself and his father is worse if he isn't straight with us.



I would like to suggest that a family calendar or organiser is put in a place where all the family can keep track of the contents. Each time you are given an assignment or homework write the due date on the calendar. Each family member can use a different colour. I also find it helpful to get my children to pack their school bag each evening to avoid morning rushes and forgotten items.
wow... i got all a's and b;s and a stinkin D- but yeah ummm u should just tell them how you hate to forget it that you just had a lot of stuff on your mind
