<p>Anyone been in this situation before? This year has been hell for me, so I ended up getting an F for math this quarter and it will show on the report card. My parents are crazy stereotypical Asians that will murder me for this, but it’s still expected to get passing grades, at the very least. Help!</p>
<p>Say that the F stands for fabulous. Duh!</p>
<p>come on guys I’m scared :(</p>
<p>You can probably try to explain the situation, they can’t be that bad?</p>
<p>Explain it. I don’t have any experience (I’ve never gotten lower than a B), but from what my freindst ell me, explain it as softly as possible and brace for the impact.</p>
<p>Explain it to them, and take the punishment.</p>
<p>It’s scary (B in Chemistry experience), but it’s not the end of the world.</p>
<p>Tell them that punishing you will only make it worse. You can’t hide it, they will find out. And try to do better to turn that F into a C, or higher if possible.</p>
<p>Brace them for the worst well before they receive your report card.</p>
<p>I always do that. It’s much worse if they find out from your report card. o.O</p>
<p>okay, I’m gonna do it when they get home…Mom first, since Dad will freak. Although Mom won’t be terribly pleased either o.o. This sucks. If I could just finish the tests maybe I’d get a C/B- on each one and not have to do this F business. Tips for next quarter? If I make it without /wristing.</p>
<p>This is where I would pull out my trusty erasable pen and forge away.</p>
<p>I’ve been in your position before too. My sophomore year Algebra II teacher wasn’t the greatest teacher around and I ended up getting a D for one quarter and F’s for both of my exams…I explained to my parents how she was a mega***** and would not help me understand the material, and they understood. So just sit them down and explain the circumstances - you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>1) Don’t tell them
2) When they find out and ask why you didn’t say, tell them you were afraid they wouldn’t love you anymore
3) Go from there</p>
<p>^Stupendous advice, honestly. </p>
<p>Definitely talk with your teacher for next quarter. See exactly where you went wrong, and try and arrange some sort of weekly tutoring program or something along those lines.</p>
<p>update:</p>
<p>all is well!Or as well as things can be for getting an F. Mom already knew, already saw it online 
.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m getting a tutor (not from the teacher…still working on illwishing him that kidney stone, srsly what kind of a teacher won’t take questions???) for math, cause I’m not bad at it, but I guess I just need a tutor to get better at it.</p>
<p>You made a mistake. Humans make mistakes. Therefore, you are a human.</p>
<p>Well yeah that kind of reasoning is probably why there’s an F in math in the first place.</p>
<p>idk my parents are asians, too… I remember when I occasionally got Fs in math 8th grade… ick there were tutoring sessions before tests and my dad losing it every couple minutes because I just couldn’t get it… </p>
<p>be brave and face the dangers… there isn’t much you can do 
(idk what your parents are like exactly, but back then, there wasn’t much I could do)</p>
<p>I’m Asian, my parents are Asian, and I wonder how my mother managed to (very barely) tolerate me even though I graduated with 5 C’s, 3 D’s, and nearly getting kicked out of UCSB even before I started attending. . . twice. xD</p>
<p>(And then, to cap it all: I get a .5 GPA first quarter in college.</p>
<pre><code> I’m NEVER telling my mother that, for her own sanity. At least I studied my way out of academic probation, and into a 3.0’s now. . .)

<p>Chances are little hobbithill, even though momentary hell is on the way for you. . .you’ll live through it. lol</p>
