okay, update:i asked my parents a few days ago to schedule an appointment with my doctor so i can talk about it with her. & of course they were completely unwilling, but then my mom said she would make the call. i just talked to my mom & she said that my doctor said that she has an opening in a month to talk to my parents, which of course is completely ridiculous considering the fact that i don’t want 2 people who deny anything is wrong with me to talk to my doctor & probably get her to give me a placebo or something…

the weird thing is, i KNOW my dad knows that i have a problem. even on the phone today he mentioned that i ‘don’t study well’ & ‘don’t know how to learn’, as if it’s something like being left-handed, which one could get used to in a day’s practice. he just refuses to put a NAME to it, & of course my mom follows suit. he also hinted to ‘any mention of this’ on my rec. next year would deter colleges from accepting me. so maybe if i try to get him to see that colleges look favorably upon hard work…

but i refuse to let this go, so i think i’ll just make an appointment with my GC to ask her what to do. i’m pretty sure we don’t have a school psychologist, though.

oh, & last night was ‘college night’ for parents, & mine met with my GC for the first time b/c she’s new this year. my dad told her that i’m not doing well this year b/c my grandpa passed away in the summer, & that she should include that in her rec. for me next year [which is something that i honestly don’t think has affected my schoolwork…] so now that’s what she thinks & i’m going to have to attempt to de-brainwash her. awesome.

well, wish me luck when i see my GC :/
