I really need some help with this. I've hit a wall. I can't take much more of having 4 classes at the college, and Chemistry is the biggest concern for me. I've thought of withdrawing from the class so many times, but I know if I did my parents would go ballistic, and I wouldn't get out of it unscathed. I mean that quite literally. What do I do? I've thought of even withdrawing today, but no matter when, my mom will go on about how she paid for my books and how it was a waste of money, how I need chemistry to pass highschool(which I could just take a high school course on anyways), and how I need a science class with a lab. I kept telling her I could have done it next semester, but she decided I should have gotten all of my harder classes done at once. That's not working out well for me. I've got basically a B in math, I think maybe a B in English, a C in Government, and a C in Chemistry. I can't get it through to her that I need to get out of a class. What do you guys think I should do?
If you feel that strongly about dropping it (for now) then do so. Whether your parents agree or not, If you simply have to retake Chemistry next semester because you didn't do well enough, you're doing the whole course over again. Then again that could be an advantage. Is failing it for now the end of the world?
well, right now I probably have lower than a 75%. If I get a D in this class, my parents will have to pay for it, and then yeah, it would kinda be the end of the world, hypothetically speaking. We don't have the money for it, that's why I need to get higher. But I'm having trouble concentrating on all of these classes. But you really do not know my family. When I say I'll get in deep trouble, I mean they're most likely going to sell some of my stuff just to keep me more focused next time. Not too mention, they keep saying when I need help I should ask for it. Well guess what? I did ask for help, and they just shoved it aside. I was waiting the whole weekend when my dad would help me out, but every time I tried he just ignored it.
I understand being a child for your parents. You need to weigh your options in. What has the greatest pros and cons. List them, count them up and pick the option with the lesser heartache. I've had to do that recently myself. It may not be a perfect format but it will work for now. I will not lie, you will have tough times now and in the future, but you will persevere. If you can get through the most terrible times, the rest will be better later on.
ugh. It's starting to sound like some sort of philosophy class. Well, I've made up my mind, and I've decided to withdraw from the class. I've got enough time on it for full payment by Aurora Public Schools, so that should be fine. The only thing I'm really freaked of is my parent's reactions. Everything I've gone through my head will result in some kind of major punishment. And I'm not talking about being grounded. So if I don't see you guys for a while, it will be because of whatever happens next. So wish me luck everyone (I'm scared to death, but this really needs to be done. My parents can't afford to pay for it, and I can't afford it now either. I still have a chance with my other classes if I get out of chemistry now)
