More serious than the bad grades, however, is the fact that you think it is an option that you can get into your parents email accounts and hide the grades. That is seriously messed up. That, to most parents, is a more grave problem than bad grades.

And here are a few serious questions...

How old are you?
Do you have a job?
If they packed your stuff and put you out, could you support yourself?
What do you mean 'fight'? Like you are an equal and stand on equal ground in what goes on?

Hah, i don't care about the fact i'm hiding the grades. I wouldn't if we didn't argue today. Because we did, and i would like them to see that in a time where they aren't so pissed off.

1) 16
2) Yes
3) Probably
4) Don't know what you mean

And no, if i want to, i can get an A. I'm just lazy, don't carry bookbags to school, and i still pull off a B. But stuff like Biology, i can't get a word that woman says, and part of it is my limited English. And in Art, that crackwhore makes us do lame projects every single day and its 1st period, when i'm most tired and dont give a crap about projects.

No i'm not asian.

Man, you need to stand up to your parents. Get a knife, and do a small cut on your cheek. Tell them if you're willing to do that to yourself, imagine what you would do to them.

Hahaha, that made me spill my drink.

Sounds like a horrible idea to me, but who knows, maybe he'll kill himself in the process.

The thing is, they don't ground me or sh1t, they treat me as an adult in the house, and they don't bother me about anything exept grades. Eh, w/e then, i'll just take the argument and move on.

Do the forgot password thing, shouldn't be too hard to figure out the info. if its your mom. Then, make up an excuse based on her computer literacy (like yahoo changed all the password, you gotta make a new one) or something

You should care about hiding your grades. That is a bad thing to do. Ok, dont get mad, but here is the thing. If you think you are old enough and mature enough to decide to take a day off, then you should also be man enough to step up and not try to hide your grades. More importantly... you snuck around in your parents' email accounts!!! that is just so wrong! You said they would not call the school... are you saying that they respect you but you dont respect them?

#4: They are the parents and you are the child. Until you are of the majority... you are legally a kid. Kids and parents are not equal. They do not have the same right, powers and equal footing. So, when you say fight... i think of it as them yelling at you and you yelling back. Like you are all equals. That is what I meant.

Man you just don't get how our family works. Snooping in email accounts doesn't bother anyone. I was yelling back cause she was turning the blame on me when in reality she started the argument. Thats what i hate most.

Then she went in the other room and yelled at my dad for "turning me" against her, which is totally bogus. Why would a person turn his son against his mother? She just likes to blame it all on everyone else.

A "B"?! I thought you were talking some failing grades here or something, move on with life, it doesn't matter.

learn some respect for your parents, ass hole. Until you move out, you're their bitch effectively. If you fvcked up your grades, then accept the consquences for that action.
