Did you try your best? If you did, that's all anyone can ask.

It's not the end of the world.

Everyone has to fail at one point or another. Trust me, it's better to get your first bad grade now... when you're still fourteen.

Don't let it get to you! (I have an older sister who was a straight A student in school. One time she actually got a D on a test and she was impossible to live with. Even worse, she still mourns about that danged D to this very day...and she is SIXTY years old! Eek!)

As for your C, I don't think it's a big deal. Your prior grades speak for themselves and you just had a lousy day, and unless your sibs have perfect grades themselves, they really have no room to talk.
