What should I say or do about getting a F?

Awfully sorry macy. I have been there as a student (one year in college I got grades I didn’t even know existed - really) and as a parent. The best thing to do is tell her as soon as possible, since she is going to find out anyway. I know that when my kid(s) avoided or tried to hide what happened, that just mad me more upset. Second, you wrote that you realized you teacher’s hunting / haunting you was a possitive thing, and that he was doing it to help you. Remember that your Mom loves you and is even more interested in helping you, even though she is mad and yelling, what she is trying to do is help you too.

usually when I get bad grades I always tell my mom before the report card comes so that she will already sort of expect it, but the good thing is that your still on time to bring it up and tell your mom that so that she wont get so mad.

Please dont respond if your going to swear, or put me down a whole bunch.

Fortunately, that warning wasn’t even necessary because you don’t sound like you need to be trampled on heartlessly. Tone and attitude count. I approve.

In addition to warning your mother about your upcoming report card, you should sing like Chumbawamba: “I get knocked down but I get up again.” Start doing your homework, start reading your textbook, and get help AS SOON AS YOU NEED IT. You still have half a year to bring your grade up.
