OMG!!! You can't make B's. No college is going to accept you now!</p>

<p>Seriously, I'm tired of these threads where people think that even an A - or a B is bad. You're not going to die.

<p>It's funny because this is the first thread I've seen like this. And I've been on here for over a year.</p>

<p>Actually you combined the word in a wrong fashion, it would be vomitarocious because it would be a combination vomitare and atrox.</p>

<p>How easy is it to get 80's in US and A? Here it's considered the standard of excellence.</p>

<p>uh....whoever told you your grades were horrible should be shot. Seriously. And if it's only you telling yourself that...GET A GRIP! Damn.</p>

<p>B+ grades are easily raised, and I guess these will then meet your standards of 'acceptable'.
Actually, a bad grade is anything below a C (C-, D+, D, D-, F).
C, C+, B-, B are reasonable/good grades, and B+, A-, A, A+ are excellent, in normal standards.</p>

<p>shravas, look at threads more closely. There are quite a few people who complain about getting B's. Here a few I’ve seen in the past month:</p>

<p>Ok, ok, i see ur point but there is this one very annoying girl in my class who actually CRIED when she got a 97 on a chem test? Her grade in chem is a 99.9 A+ and i m not even joking. she bugs the teachers everyday and whines when she has low A's (94-95). I get F's,slack of once in a while, thats why I barely have A's but ppl expect me to be this perfect-straight A student who would be the first one in years to get into an ivy-league college.
Please dont sterotype me into the classic CC student that i m not. Its just when u see the above posts, and the like, it makes you feel like you should be doing more to be the best and then when u dont have those perfect grades, u start feeling like crap. </p>

<p>I'm sorry if i've offended anyone, i really dont think my grades are horrible, or vomitrocious.</p>

<p>If you are East or South Asian then getting a 97 in some families is percieved as a major problem and can result in rather nasty punitive punishments.</p>
