Thinking straight
Usually I don't like ranting anymore, but I am so done right now I can't begin to even explain how mad I am. Lately, school's been hard. Scratch that. It's always been hard. Since day one.

The class I've actually been struggling the most with is French III PAP/IB. It's not just me that's struggling, but it's the majority of kids who are taking that class as well.

I happen to have a 79 in that class. My dad's freaking out over it. He's even going to talk to my teacher about my low grade. Excuse me, but what in the fucking hell is your problem? French is just a language class. I don't need it for what I'm going to do when I'm older. My dad thinks I should be doing better in French since my dad can speak it fluently. He's like why don't you ask me for help? Maybe because all he ever does is yell at me for getting it wrong and tells me to change this to that and that to this, but never explains what the problem was or what I did wrong.

On top of my dad grinding on me for my low french grade (which I personally don't think it's that low it's almost a B lmao), my mom is always yelling at me for not helping around the house or doing dishes or cleaning up after everybody. She's always like why don't you help around the house? or dad and I work all day and we're tired at least get off your lazy ass and do something. I'm so fucking sorry, but what the fuck do you think I do at school? Do you think I go there to sit and socialize and watch Barney learning videos? I fucking go to school for 8 hours a day listening to teachers lecture or have my teachers not even teach me SHIT, and yet I have to come home and do loads of homework?

Do you fucking think that I don't work hard either? High school isn't as easy as they think it is. I'm taking all Pre-AP classes and one AP class. Are you fucking kidding me right now? You think my life is easy? I can't even do anything on the weekends anymore because I have so much homework. I get about 3-5 hours of sleep on average and you're yelling at me because my grades aren't perfect or because I don't do anything around the house?

Do you think it's easy to maintain all A's? For some people yes. But for majority of us kids, it's fucking overwhelming. I'm fucking fifteen years old. I'm doing my homework and my parents yell at me for all kinds of things. Let me do one thing at a time. I can't do everything at once. Like honestly what the fuck do you want from me.
