God damn.
I really do not understand my sister and her habit of getting bad grades.
I understand she's not the fastest learner and all that, but COME ON!
The parents have given her chance after chance after chance to start getting better grades. Every opportunity. They've given her plenty of ultimatums but let them slide, given her yet another chance, and such.
In a sense, I really wish she could see what's actually gonna happen if they put their foot down, which they're pretty much starting to. (if she doesn't get crap up this time, they're putting her in homeschool, she loses privileges to her laptop, can't hang with friends, etc etc)
Like. I never had issues with getting bad grades and dealing with the consequences, but I was terrified of what could happen.
I had no clue what could happen so I made sure to steer clear of it all.
Which in turn makes me feel guilty for being a A/B grade kid (well except for chemistry, but he hasn't updated the gradebook), and for working my ass off to get what i want and such.
It doesn't make sense, but it is what it is.
Blaaah.
