so...i failed my calculus class. how do i tell my mom? im supposed to get a car on sunday but i kinda gave up hope on that with my F. i gotta call her and tell her. She actually called me yesterday and told me she saw a nice 2 door 99' honda civic with tented windows for 2500. id like to have it but first i need to tell her my grade or she would be even MORE pissed if i let her buy it and THEN i tell her my grade. so...i know theres some pretty smart people here, how do i do it? quickly please XD

Just tell her you failed your class. Lying won't really help you, as you said, it would screw you up. I really don't know if your mom would or wouldn't give you a car with an F with calculus, but maybe you need to start watching your grades more... an F... how do you even get an F.
wow, i like the "dont buy me a car" part (i dont actually care too much about a car anyway) . that seems like a great way to relieve some of it. awesome, good reply on the first post. ya, ill update this when i find out what happens lol
In reply to Equinox. im in IB, college level classes and im in 11th grade. These were my classes Ib Spanish III, IB spanish IV, IB CALCULUS, IB ENGLISH, IB HISTORY, IB CHEMISTRY, IB ART(still really hard lol),
but im not blaming my failing on having incredibly hard classes, im blaming it on me just SUCKING at math. i did aLL the homework and went to tutoring 4 times a week. but i recently found out that when the teacher asks if you want to put a problem on the board and you get extra credit after 9 weeks it actually adds up a lot, so thats one part of the plan for next year

Maybe you'll still get the car, but your mom will prob appreiciate your honesty in the long run.

IB is like AP from what I know, and I am fine with my AP classes. Why did you take IB Calc if math is not your thing? Maybe you should discuss this with your parents.

67! sweet moses! Lol
That was my first precalculus grade last year lol. Then I pulled it into 96.

i was very dumb in deciding my math choice, but either way all routes end up at ib calc by senior year anyway. naw...ive taken ap classes and i got an A in all of them no prob. Its a little similar to ap, but instead of like one class its alll my classes. and i have 4 a day and the days alternate so its uber confusing
jazz..dont make fun of my 67 :'( i studied super hard for that damn grade lol

The best thing to do is act like you knew you could have done better, and prove you'll do everything you can to make it next time because you have your priorities straight now. The car will come, for now.... save your money. Gas sucks.
I am getting all AP classes except Spanish next year. I should been taking them this year but the US school system fucked me up.
And honestly, a lot of schools dont even recognize IB, a lot of schools accept ap over ib. but im not leaving florida and most florida state schools accept ib well...but ya, i REALLY need to prioritize. Its sooo hard to not get burnt out on all of it and say screw it. by about....5 weeks left i was running on fumes. worst decision of my life as of yet

Pre AP is the best class you can get as a freshman.
I am only taking Geometry for math which is pretty normal, Algebra in 9th is for people not so good in math.
Haha, Sorry. lol
I have...
Geometry
Advanced Science (1 lower from pre AP)
Pre AP English.
then I am taking Web design and computer programming.
