Thanks for the serious replies, and thanks for the non-serious replies for some laughters?
story 1: my big sister called me and said "wow nice job, 49 replies on anandtech huh?
her boyfriend lurks here
i'm planning on taking her tv away, and her computer. We have another computer in the living room, she can use that (for reports and stuff) until her grades go up. I'm also going to require her to get some sort of progress report from her teachers in about 4 weeks. She was a 3.5+ student, and it droped to 3.0+ and now i dont' know.
I am going to tell her that i'm disappointed with her and that I put a lot of freedom on her because i thought that she was responsible enough to attack a task when she has to.
As far as my grades? In high school I had a 4.16, and in college, my first year was a 2.2???? and now i raised it to a 2.76, things are looking up for me now. I screwed up my first year of college, but i'm confident i can graduate with a 3.0, if i keep up my work so far.
and about parents, i don't know, my family is weird, everyone is stubborn and no one talks about their feelings. My older sister and I always joke about how the hell did we turn out right when our parents rarely openly expressed love or concern for our grades. We are both trying to show this love and concern to our 2 siblings so that they can learn to be more open to others (unlike how i WAS). Maybe the difference is that, although i was never shown love, my parents sure as hell beat me when i needed it as a kid. My little sis and brother doesn't even get touched now. I think that is good evidence that spanking your kid is good. . . j/k
