what about when your older and your manager tells you to finish the job early like next day, you going to tell him he's being too hard and give you a little leeweigh.. no you'll try your best to get the job done or i should hope so anyway

No that's not fair I mean if your grades are improving they should be happy not groud you at least you're making an improvement perhaps they're expecting TOO big of an improvement at too soon a time?
Just try to make your grades even higher and hopefully they'll stop bickering.

They DO have every right to try to teach you these things. It is up to you to decide if you'll continue to be a cocky teenager that believes he or she is entitled to do whatever the hell he/she wants, or to suck it up and start behaving in a way that will earn more respect and praise.

For once I actually liked something that you've said.

They never do that shit. Sometimes i think that's all a kid needs is some support. My parents expect to much of me. Im the oldest of 5. Babysit everyday, that means i don't get to hang out with my friends. And i'm constantly grounded for various reasons. They want me to clean up after everyone in the house, and i have no time to myself. >:[

First off, I don't know what grades you got but GOOD JOB!

Secondly, I don't think it's fair, but what's happened has happened. You can't change it. SO just continue wprking hard and something is bound to come of it.

That is a load of bullshit. Considering I've always made straight As, I can't say I know that, but that is a pretty big load of bullshit from any parent.

Same problems here. Honestly, just work a little harder, not that your grades are crappy, but to prove your parents wrong. It's the greatest feeling in the world. Not in an obnoxious way, but as in a 'Don't doubt me' way, it's more like proving yourself, making you more trustworthy to them. You'll get your way in alot of future things after that. Besides, if you're not already in high school, grades will start to matter soon. They'll show up on your resume's for schools [colleges] and jobs. So give yourself the extra little push, it'll work out in the long run.

As for the unsupportiveness shown by your parents, there's not much that can be done there. At least try to let them know you need more support. Maybe they'll understand, and if not, you've got your friends who will hopefully pick up where they've 'dropped the ball'...

Parents should never push a kid in school. My parents are happy with my best, even if my best is an F. Just do your best, and show your parents you are doing your best.
