I got two Fs and two Cs and was put on academic probation, I did poorly in high school and my parents repeatedly told me if I failed a single class I would have to come home and get a job. I can’t handle moving back home, I will become severely depressed, my whole life is at my school, and I actually do want to learn! I know I made mistakes such as not studying and procrastinating that could have easily changed my grades, but I put more effort into this semester than ever in high school, though I still definitely could of done better. It was my first semester away I got overly excited and was too social when I should have been studying, I don’t know how to convince my parents to give me a second chance, I even considered lying to them about my grades but I would feel awful and that wouldn’t turn out well in the long run. My parents pay for my school and I think I am going to lose a small scholarship, I have no idea what to do, but as stupid as this sounds I didn’t realize how important college was to me until I failed.
I know how you feel. Sit your parents down and explain to them that it’s common for 1st semester kids to screw up. You have A LOT to adjust to and if they went to college, they should understand. And tell them that you mean business now. You know how things work so you won’t give them anymore excuses. Good luck!!
