im screwed...dad is gonna kill me, help please?

Print your question out and give it to him.

Don`t stand in front of him, defiant, or subservient.

Deal with the matter as if it was your problem and that you are mature enough to deal with it.

He`ll respect you for it. Grudgingly, but he will.

Don`t get in between your parents...treat them equally if that`s what you would expect from them.

You need your Dad`s help, and love.

Now make him proud.

Better figure out a plan to get your grades up. He needs to know you are struggling and perhaps a tutor would be in order. Many schools offer after school help provided by honor students. Check into this so when you are telling your Dad you can let him know that you are not planning on continuing on this failing track. Good luck. My son struggles and then I married a man with a honor student. I would rather a kid be well rounded than just book smart. My son knows how to turn off a light when he leaves the room and how to clean up any room and to close the fridge when he is not getting something out. My step son is a brillantin school but he struggles with simple daily task. Do the best at what you do and your Dad won't be upset.

1. You have to talk to him first. If not it will look as if your hiding and he'll be even more disappointed. After that look at him and tell him straight out that you understand what you need to do, what your GOING to do, and, most importantly, what you did wrong this year. Get this all out before he can talk and mess up your confidence (If you can find any to begin with) and so you seem more headstrong and serious about your grades. The most important thing though is to make sure these don't turn into empty words. Be sure to try hard this year.

I have a 14 yr old in the same position. Yes, your father will be mad and disappointed. Only you can show him you mean business. He can't do it for you. Keep trying everyday, go the extra mile and in time you will show your parents that you are a young man of your word. It won't happen over night, but don't give up.

Also being responsible around the house wouldn't hurt right now. Do the dishes, take out the trash, keep your room clean....etc.

Did you ask about a tutor in school? Speak to your counselor too.

Good luck!!

Being grounded does not make any of ur family members happy. Ppl usually punish someone when they do a mistake so that they wouldn't do the same mistake again.By now, u shuld have know ur house rulez...getting grounded is one of them. Juz make sure to regain back their trust by not making empty promises.There are other things which are far more worse than being grounded. Think hw hurt ur parents would be...it is more painful than being grounded.By accepting and learning frm the past, u are becoming more responsible.=0)

By hurting yourself you are only adding to your abuse from your brother, you are letting him really win. He must be a real prick to be beating you up all the time, smoking pot and such will help you relax and forget about the problem but it is not going to make it go away. You say it would be embarrassing to tell your parents, I think you should find more shame in hurting yourself than if you told your parents. If you killed yourself, then that would probably make your di*k brother happy because then he would get more things from your parents. Dont ruin or end your life because of a jerk, have some self respect and be in control of this situation. You need to either tell your parents and let them know if they dont do anything that the police will. If you dont want to talk to your parents first then just call the police when he beats you up, but without telling your parents first you will make them very upset at you for not going to them first. You could also make a friend that is bigger and badder than your brother and then have him beat up your brother if your brother beats up you. Dont hurt yourself and dont kill yourself, just toughen up mentally and be a man about it, you are your own person and you nor anyone deserves the kind of treatment your brother is giving you. I know you dont want to hear it but TALK TO YOUR PARENTS AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, and I am sure they can also face charges if they let this continue. Hang in there.

I would try to defuse the situation by having a plan ready to assure him that you are serious about bringing your grades up. Do you have peer tutors in your high school that could assist you in these subjects? I know that it's imperative to get that GPA up by Jr. year latest if you want to try to get into any semi-competitive college. Good luck & I wouldn't worry about getting grounded, maybe the time spent at home (studying) would actually help you bring your grades up.

Be honest. Nobody is perfect. And ow that you've failed this is nothing but a chance to do better. When they see you're grades come UP, they will be happier to see that than to see them going down. and now that you've failed, you can't do anything but get better grades.

I would show him all the papers I have gotten A's or B's on to show him that you are improving also let him see you doing homework on a regular basis and tell him that you want to go the library after school so you can study better

just tell your dad. Stop making promises. Just work hard and focus on your studies. There are many distractions but you have to decide on your goal in life. Prioritize. THink about what you want to achieve and how you want to get there. Good luck!
