My parents only care about good grades

Check these out, too...

All my parents care about are grades. Last report card, I got a C in math. I thought they were going to kill me. Whenever I try to talk to them about how I feel, they yell at me. My mom is not as bad as my dad. I know they care about my education, but they hurt my feelings.

Dear Sick of It,

If you want to tell them how you feel but can’t do it in a conversation, write it in a note. Did you get a good grade they forgot to praise? Say so. Tell them you want to hear when they’re proud, not just when they’re disappointed. But remember that they care about your education because they care about you and your future.

Might it help if you got a math tutor? Maybe a high school student can bring you up to speed over the summer, without charging too much. Your math teacher or guidance counselor can probably recommend someone. It is hard to excel in school when you feel pressure on all sides. But psych yourself up now for getting off to a strong start in September. Plan to move up to the front row, keep an organized assignment pad, find a quiet place to work, do your best, and your grades will go up, guaranteed. Not only will your parents be pleased, but you’ll feel good about it too.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

Ok. So there is a boy at my school that annoys me. He tells me I'm bossy and stupid. I'm on the verge of crying. He's just so mean to me and I don't do anything to him. What should I do?

Hey, Girl! Sorry for the “stock” message. We’re psyched you’re here but since this is a super busy time, mods aren’t able to answer personal advice or contest questions. We’re approving your comments now so the girls can start offering feedback right away! If you still have questions, please come back, we’re happy to help…or just let the other chicas answer now! (They give awesome advice, trust us!) Love and thanks! ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes

My friend and I were really close since the beginning of sixth grade. We sort of grew apart this year because we stopped paying much attention to each other and I don't like some of the decisions she makes (texting in class, using the F-word a lot, making out with her bf in front of everyone), etc. She also is really obsessed with Lady Gaga and since I honestly don't care THAT much about Gaga, I know it sounds lame but sometimes I feel like we can't connect because of that. Also, she used to cut and I want to know how she's doing. But, we really don't talk much and she doesn't seem like she wants to reconnect with me. We've had a few fights this year too that we didn't really resolve. Any advice would be awesome; thanks so much!

hey so ive been getting lot of different stories about my friend ":z" and how she talks about me. today i confronted her about it and she got upset and mad at me. so then she went and hung out with this girl "g" and z says she hates g and g hates me. so it not good. and she blamed it all on how i dont trust her. i really need your help!
thanks

Hey girly,

If this girl "Z" is talking behind your back, I would just ignore her and hang out with some other friends. This will cause you to avoid unwanted drama and hopefully she will stop talking about you.
