how do i tell my mom about my grades?

dude woah settle. Here's what i would do. Go up to your mom and say "mom I've got to tell you something" and she'd reply "yea?" "I'm ... not doing very good in some of my classes. And i've had a hard time trying to tell you because i thought maybe you'd yell or something. I'm giving school my best and i study like crazy but its not working out for me .... and mom I'm sorry if your mad at me but i couldn't hide it from you anymore"

This response would make you look mature with respect/\.

Tell your mom the truth as soon as possible so she doesn't get mad that you didn't tell her first of all. I don't know your mother or what sort of punishment you are so scared of but I will give you advice for the worst case scenerio just in case. Tell her in a way that will make her feel pity for you not anger. Tell her that you have a big problem and you are really scared and need her help. Make her feel sorry for her little girl. Tell her when she is in a good mood. Tell her that you try your best but do not seemed to be able to keep up at school. Say "I'm sorry I'm stupid, I don't mean to be but I can't help it". Not that you are but you are going for pity here. Hopefully she will say you aren't and feel bad that her kid is saying that. Ask her to please help you and to not be mad. Tell her you can't make it through school without more help and you are scared. Make it practically impossible for her to be mad at you. Agree with what she says and apologize a lot. Maybe tell her at her at a time when you have just enough time to tell her and get her sympathy but that she wouldn't have time to respond and will have time to think about it and maybe calm down before she can deal with it. The sooner you do it the less time you have to worry about what will happen. No matter what happens you will get through this and everything will be ok.

Well if you spent that much time after school trying to improve your grades and they are still that bad.. then maybe you rly need a tutor. Or maybe you have a learning disability you dont know about. That doesnt make you dumb or handicap but maybe you just learn different than others and you need to have your mother take you somewhere to check that out.

Mention that to her. Tell her about all the time u spent after school & that you feel you dont learn at the same speed as other people. And go ahead and cry, then she will think you are dead serious and maybe she will be more concerned than pissed & you wont get grounded.

I had the same problem as you! but i didn't have a scholar ship that's tough. you have to tell her sooner or later and just be really upset when you tell her and tell her you tried really hard but its just to hard!

Just straight out tell her dude..

ok
