What+parents+don't+get+about....

Getting good grades is a job and a responsibility for students of all ages, and the difficulty among receiving A's and B's in one parents and sometimes teachers do not understand.

The meaning of "grade" is a mark or rating especially of accomplishment in school.

Being a sophomore in high school, the pressure to fulfill my parents dreams instead of my own sometimes is something that isnt easy.

With the added pressure of sports,time for friends, and the difficult material i sometimes have a hard time understanding;

I sometimes lose sight of what needs to be done and begin to focus on non-important issues. P My parents do not know what it feels like to have no time to do homework, and because they do not get me sometimes they do not understand how mentally draining Carmel is.

When my parents were kids their high school's were right down the road and traveling was not an issue for them.

For me on the other hand driving is a hassel because i am on sports and we do not get off of practice until 5:30 or 6:00 sometimes, and then after a hard day of school and practice we have to drive home.

I sometimes do not have enough time to do homework because when we get home we have to shower and eat and by then it is already 8 or 8:30.

After a hard day of school and sports the last thing i want to do is homework, but i chose to come to this school for a reason so i have to try my hardest.Sometimes my parents do not think i am trying but they have no clue how hard my life is.

For wrestling i sometimes have to cut weight and this can pose a problem and a distraction, because i am focused on making weight so the coaches do not get mad. P Carmel is a college prep. school and my parents do not always get that because back in the day shooling was not as hard and my parents went to public schools and their classes were way easier than mine are.

Carmel is a lot different from other schools because if you fall behind at another school like warren it will be easy to get caught back up.

At Carmel on the other hand if you fall behind you will be in deep trouble, and sometimes not get caught back up till the end of the chapter.

As a human being sometimes we make mistakes and i for one can sometimes goof off and do not pay attention, but who doesn't we are human beings,nsometimes parents expect usto be more than we can truely be. P Time for friends is a mojor problem for me and this is because i live in wisconsin and everyone lives at least 40 mins. away.

My parents do not get what it is like to ilive 40 min. away from everyone because when they were kids they lived within walking distance.

During the week i have no time for anything besides homework and sports because i live far away and i get hime late.

On the weekends i usually only have one day for friends because no sporting events can be played on sunday.

So that rules out sleepovers or even staying up late with friends, and everyone needs to spend a little time with a friend or friends because they ease the tention that is built up from every day life.

Sometimes i will sacrafice my grades in order to hang out with some friends and this can sometimes cause my grades to slip, but my parents do not get that i do need some time for friends, in fact everyone needs to spend a little time with friends. P In conclusion i feel like the times have changed a lot over the years and our parents have no idea what it is like to be a teen in our generation.

With the added pressure of sports, time for friends, and the difficult material we study i sometimes have a hard time understanding; and i lose sight of what needs to be done.

Parents sometimes do not know when to stop and they just like to listen to their self talk and this is a problem because some dont even care about what we have to say, and this can become a problem that needs to be delt with.

This shows how hard it is to be a teen and i hope you have takes something from it.
