Parents so strict over grades....?
Ok so, I got my progress report today, (I'm in the 9th grade) and I have a D+ in spanish two honors (A junior and up class, but I guess they thought I was good enough to take it) and an F in biology honors.
I was doing well in both classes up until this progress report, Bs in spanish and steady C+ to C in biology. They flipped **** when they saw it, and have grounded me, (posting this on my phone), took away all video games, took my guitar away, and basically anything I do to have fun, including sports and friends. The classes are really REALLY hard for me, but they think if I just study longer I will understand it somehow, even though I study my *** off. They both screamed at me for a good 20 minutes about how I was gonna grow up to be a "bum" and not have a life and be a loser, over these two grades.
I don't know how to talk to them or anything, I need help :/

As a parent who is going through something very similar with my own son, your parents may want you to challenge yourself. They may want you to push yourself to do the best that you can. If you are saying that if you think you study longer, you may understand this, this might lead me to believe that you feel you could give a little more effort to the classes. If you give more effort, and you are still struggling, you need to sit with your parents and explain just that....I am trying, I am doing my best, and I just can't keep up, I would like to stick with the class but not take the honors component. This might work. It is also something that you could speak to your guidance counselor about. He/she might have an idea of your options so when you chat with your parents, you actually have a plan of attack going in. Best of luck.

Yes, when I was younger I was in the same situation you are in, where once in a while I would get crummy grades. The way I fixed it was through tutoring for those specific subjects. Going over problem sets multiple times and practising with friends who are strong in those subjects helped me drastically.
