Out of my five grades, four of them are borderline, and the yearly grade is gonna be up to the final. I'm shivering out of fear :(.

Are your parents gonna take away your computer rights? Are you gonna fail out of school? Are you gonna lose a scholarship?

Why are you so scared?

I'm a sophmore in HS, so it's nothing too serious, but I just don't like doing poorly. I don't know how my parent's will react, either.

Oh no, you might fail! If you do, nothing in your life will change. You'll still graduate high school in two years and go on with your life, regardless of what grades you get as a sophomore in HS.

And if "don't like doing poorly", then why didn't you put in some effort in the first place?

Hello 3.915 GPA for me finishing high school.
Cause my parents force me to.
Although I'm supposed to not go below 3.8.

I never said my life wouldn't go on/change, I'm just saying that I'm worried. Relax.

I actually enjoy having a social life on top as studying, I don't know about you.

You have to work hard to do well in HS? What kind of messed up HS do you people go to? I didn't do crap in HS and still had a great gpa...

I could easily work harder, but I think I have a good balance of work/social life/extra-curricular. Looks like, if things go as I think they will, I'll have a 2.9/3.0 this year (which is pretty bad, but I had a rough year), and a 3.8 last year. So right now I'm looking at a 3.4 so far.

eh whatever makes ya happy. ppl who only study in HS are off their rockers. For the most part, if you're smart enough to attend an uber university, you didn't have to work a lot in HS (extra-curriculars aside if you did'em).

That was true for me at least & most of the US people I know (not so true for foreign students... esp China/India have it rough with their insane testing programs). I had to try in English but other than that I pissed around.

It doesnt take that much time to study for high school... i studied maybe a hour a day and ended with 3.98...

A 3.0 would mean you basically didn't study, which implies a poor balance unless you just plan on continuing your high school life at the local community college

You're blowing it way out of proportion... I've been in the same situation as you numerous time throughout HS and I came out alive. You'll be fine.

I know people with 3.0 who work their asses off. I, myself, have a 3.93 or something (we have weighted grades) and I dont study for tests at all. i do do all my homework though.

WTF? Even if you had a 3.0 all through high school, there are plenty of 4-year college you can go to.

I said even if, not that that was what I was aiming for. A few posts up I said I have a 3.4 for Freshman/Sophmore years combined.
