But what's the point? it's high-school! it's free! It wont mean a thing to you later in life and It rarley determines what kind of college you get into. The fact is that not EVERYONE can be in the top 10% of your state but thats exactly what every parent expects from their child the moment they're born! its wrong that society shoudl demand and place such pressure on its children! So far in college i've made straight As, but because the Mail lost some of my assignments I got a grade in one class that shot my quarter average down to 2.8 and that made my parents disown me... I know how hard it is to have to deal with things like this, but to be honest, you can deal with them when they come. after all, I did have the grade amended, though I'm never going to see my father the same way again. Thats just probably a small price to pay for being able to live without such stresses...
