this is one of those places where I can rant and actually get good feedback
I'm gonna say this, but I felt like I was smart. Knowledgeable and on top of the world. Like I knew everything.
My dad showed me what I needed to do, and I resisted him. Ignored and feared him. My mother tried desperately to fix our relationship. My grades in fact are going down, and my mother approached me about it and I took it and blew it off as usual. But then when my dad came home, I watched something that had made me fear for my life, but actually open my eyes to the actual consequence.
I believe the show was called Waking Up(TNT, if you want to see it, 8/9 est) and it was about this kid, who was a high school dropout and also wanted to become a MMA fighter. Throughout the show, he goes through a conflict of good and bad, until the end(won't spoil it)
Now I won't say I've taken drugs or not. My life isn't wasn't as bad as his, but the consequence was the same. In the time of the show, it showed a bunch of high school dropouts working and picking up trash, and quite, it's not my way of living to end up that way, a prisoner, who has to pick up trash
The moral of this is that I've been dumb. Stupid, no fire within me. I'm not saying I'll be a dropout but, goddamn it, I won't be a programmer if I don't become good. In school that is
Take what you will from my mind. Any comment I see offensive or hurtful to me or to this in general will receive suspension for one day.

You're going through a sophomore/junior slump. School will only get harder from here on out, and you REALLY don't want to fall behind. What would colleges say about your bad grades?
Believe me, you want your grades to improve pronto. And about your father, just try to avoid him, but also try to be on good terms with him. Your family's the last enemy you'd want.

I'm planning for better results for next semester. I've realized he's not my friend, and he sure as hell isn't my enemy. I'm on more than good terms with him, know that much. |

As someone in college, grades are important. You literally need to keep on top of everything.
For the past year I've been obscenely passive and apathetic about my work, but this past semester I actually put in effort ( a lot of effort, as in "writing a research paper using MY PHONE kinds of effort) and it paid off with As.
I got an F in an internet class though because hahaha me doing an internet clss when the only time I'm not in class is trapped at home.

Make me proud. Yeah, fighting with your parents isn't cool at all. Without them, I don't know if I'd still be around lol I really need to get to college, and thankfully I'm pretty much set. And they helped, so yeah. |

You absolutely missed the point and restated your point at least three times. Actually I lied, you missed most of it. Being Admin as nothing to do with my success in life |

I wasn't particularly sure how to confront this, offer a supportive statement and give a detailed description of my perspective without offending you. Around these situations, I am unsure of what one might perceive as hurtful and other perceive as positive criticism or advice; normally I'm quite well-versed as my compassion towards others, however, the former statement negates this at its display. And again, I apologize for any unwanted misunderstandings we may have had, and this post might be irrelevant.

Honestly, I was frightened to say something wrong to make you upset, so I decided on something topical, but of something I truly believe. I guess I have to man-up during these kinds of situations.

I'll cut short the encouragement and just chuck you head first into practical ways to improve school grades! From what I have experienced anyways. I'm trying to help please don't shoot me.First of all, you need pressure. Not so much you break down partway through the term, but enough at stake so you need to starting working at a consistent pace. Right now, your future seems threatened enough for you to want to work, so that should be fine for now (later on, pride should be a good enough motivator). Next you *need* to make a plan to stick with, I suggest starting small, something like two hours a day (so you study 1hr when you get back from school and 1hr before you go to sleep), *then* increase it if necessary. If you can't stick to a plan like myself, you can also learn cramming and exam strategies. Though this relies heavily on inherent talents. Moreover these strategies would vary from institution to institution. Though from what I have experienced, doing lots of past papers and looking at exemplar responses is amazing if you can get your hands on them. Charm your teachers. Obviously, teachers would be nicer and would do more for a student they actually like. You can achieve this by answering questions in class, contacting the teacher about schoolwork in their office outside of class hours (Note: This one only works for teachers who are actually passionate about teaching), and making sure the things you ask the teacher are relevant and meaningful. If your teacher bores you, then there are no shortage of online courses to check out. Lastly, the most valuable advice that I know: Shamelessly abuse connections! Steal notes from as many people as possible- combine then and memorise the sh*t out of them! For assignments abuse connections *again*, and ask around for anyone experienced to help you out. Hope that helps and good luck  Source: Graduated IB Diploma 2014 |

I'm aware I don't really understand your situation or know you very well, so I doubt this means much if anything, but it sounds to me like you've made a big step forward. I'm quite glad for you, and I wish you luck.
