ok so chucking expensive consoles away is incredibly extreme, but mebbe you should show your granpa that you can work for it. Maybe ask a friend to help you/tutor you If your having real trouble...
Imo your granpa is evil. Chucking a psp is an unforgivable crime.
"not my thing" That's a moldy-oldy. Neo, what's your study-style? Most likely you need a new method of taking in information. All that school is is reciting what you've been told.Quote:

Seriously, if you have a study-style that suits your learning curve, you can get high grades in every subject.
That is very true, but he should let him play cuz he's probably so upset for getting an F, so playing the game will help him cope with his failure. :D (Sorry I usually take the kid side cuz I know how difficult school can be at times, and even maybe somthing bad happened that caused him to do poor, either that or he's just plain lazy...:D )Quote:

You're profile says you're 17, which I highly doubt, and if it's true, it just makes it worse in my eyes. I really get discusted by kids like you. You're grandpa actually gives a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] and lets you have things like a computer with the internet, TiVo, and video games, and all you can do is call him a dumbass for taking measures when YOU'RE failing in school.
wow...that was really deep. It's kinda nice to see people who value education and morals like that. I really respect you for that. :up:Quote:

In high school, english and french weren't my thing, and yet my report cards always had high 80's and 90's in both respectively. If you're capable of getting A's and B's in everything else, then you're capable of doing it in history as well.Quote:

Whether or not you do well in school is all on you. Either you put in the time and effort to do your best, or you don't, simple as that.
DMKA calls it best. Get your priorities straight and quit whing that you have to deal with the consequences of your screwups.Quote:

I think your grandpa had the right to take your video-games seeing as how they were distracting you. This is like a wake up call for you to succeed move out and move on to get a job. And you need to do well in order to do that. So quit slacking and get cracking so you get your games n' stuff back. ;)Quote:

Explain to this grandfather of yours that you and others have been waiting for literally 3 years. Then talk it out, then beg, then improve your grade.
Math or Science, maybe...but...History? :cat: xD
DMKA got a good point. Though I disagree with your grandfather throwing out your systems. I agree completely with banning you from their usage until your grade improve.Quote:

If there a certain thing bothering you, I am sure the teacher would not mind explaining to you after class either.
You should be happy that after those marks you are online posting here.
You need to get your priorities straight. School comes before games. Raise your marks so that by your next report card you get your gaming privliages back. You can wait a month to play a game, it isnt going to kill you. Know how i know, i have gone 6 months without TV, gaming consuls or games on my computer (i do have my computer which is mostly being used for web researching and writing papers) because i take my classes at University seriously and you can not have constant distractions when in university level courses. So if you are planning in getting any sort of serious degree after highschool (or plan at getting into College/university) you gotta be prepared and ready to get rid of the things that are going to distract you.
If your having trouble with history i can suggest 3 things
1) Talk to your History teacher about doing extra credit assignments, teachers are usually willing to give you some to boost your grades when needed.
2) Look into after school tutoring
3) Reread your text book at least 3 times.
man ur lucky u even have a copy of kingdomhearts 2!
