I got another D+ on a math test. I'm doing fine in my other classes, but I just feel so horrible about this. Earlier in the year I was getting mostly all As in math, and then I got a D+ on a test. My teacher had so much confidence in me and told me to ignore it and that she knew I was much smarter than that. However, since then, I've just been having more and more trouble in math and while I still occasionally get As on quizzes and some tests, all of my projects have been late or incomplete. The first D+ which I got 3-4 months ago has still been bothering me greatly. I've been trying my best but since I have math class first and get very little sleep, I'm usually just waking up when taking a test. I just got my last math test back and it was another D+. All of the errors that I made were idiotic and it bothers me that I do so poorly on timed tests when I understand the basic concepts completely. My math teacher is one of the nicest teachers that I've ever had and is usually optimistic about almost everything, but now she seems to have lost hope for me in that class.
My parents are also very strict about my grades. They've lectured me for hours when I've gotten B+s. My mom still often brings up the D+ that I got months ago to remind me to work harder. She was furious when I got an A- on a math test because she said I needed to be getting only A+s in math to overcome that D+. I know my parents will take away my laptop and sign me up for summer long SAT prep courses because they were already planning on doing those things, but this will just convince them that they were right. I'm just really frightened of how my mom will react to this since she called my dad to tell him that I'm a lazy failure when I did poorly on a history pop quiz. I have a feeling my parents will never think of me the same way after I've gotten two D+s. One can be just a mistake from lack of sleep, but two proves there is something seriously wrong.
My parents always tell me that I'll never get into a good college because I play no sports or instruments and would need all A+s as well which I don't have. I don't even know what to think anymore. I definitely want to go to a good college, but honestly have no idea why, other than it is what society has taught me. I feel like I seriously need to make some plans for my life, but have no idea what I'd want to do after college.
I also go to a private school which is notorious for having extremely large homework loads and difficult classes. Sometimes I wonder if my parents would be more proud of me if I went to a local public school since my grades would be higher there even though the education wouldn't be as thorough. We would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars as well if I hadn't been going to private school all my life.
Sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to get some advice before I have to talk this over with my parents.

*Waves and snuggles* Math failure here. You're parents aren't being fair, you've worked hard and you simply need more sleep and a different type of education. And college? Sweetheart they place that in your mind because "college is the only way." Bullcrap. There are technical schools you can go to, and other options tht I can't think of right now (jelly bean brain

). Even just being a stay-at-home mom (if you're a girl and wanting to have kids. Whoops.) is one of the hardest jobs you can have, it might not get you payed but it's rewarding. I'm simply saying you have more options then college and college is a load of bullcrap. Blerp. Um. Anyways, just be confident and say you know you're messing up and need a different envirment to learn in. There is Cyber School (which I currently am in) and Home Schooling where you're parents teach you, or even just as you said public schooling. <3. *Hugs again*

I didn't even say goodbye.

I really need a huge,this is making my life worse. She is the only real friend I have,the one I can tell everything to. I get cyberbullied alot. My sister also hits me,punches me, and kicks me. She calls me a retard,idiot and moron. This is making my life worse then it already is.
