darkruby -- Well, look at this way...if you don't get better grades in school you'll be working in that grocery store the rest of your life. If that's what you want and you're happy doing it, and you can support yourself, then that's fine. But if you want something different then you better raise your grades. I'm a therapist working with teens and parents (and the law) quite a bit, and yes, your parents can make you quit your job.

Thanks for all the advice guys, it looks like I'm going to deal with life like it comes. I have to do my best and I will, I just need to motivate myself. Life Isn't easy and it never really will be. Roll with the punches. So what if I lose my job cuz my parent love me, I'll live.
I have'nt lost my job yet and I'm holding on.
Thanks.

Sounds good darkruby. But don't lose your job because your parents love you....get better grades because your parents love you! AND because you love yourself and want the best for yourself. It may not seem like those grades will ever matter in life, but they will. I wish you the best.

This morning I was listening to the radio.......some stupid talk show........changed the channel.....SAME THING..........changed the channel.....same thing......Every radio station had on the same exact broadcast........I listened to it. It was about our school systems and why we arent learning like we should be. Standardized testing.....They are opening a private school in florida that has no tests..........you heard me right.......NONE. If you focus on learning something....and dont worry as much about the test you will do better. Dont go to school thinking......geeze this sucks I dont want to learn this stuff just to regurgetate it in a few days and forget it..........Go and try to learn what the subject is truely about and try to take in why it works the way it does.. Im going to try it out this week.........see how it goes. I challenge you to do the same. :)

The "no tests" concept isn't new, it has been tossed around for many years. It is an interesting concept, but would require many other things to be in place before it would work and our current school system isn't ready for it. The basic concept is to encourage our youth to learn for the sake of learning, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, but it requires so much more than a revamped school system....
