Is there?I am very obsessed with grades.If you are do you ever wish you weren't grade obsessed? I know I wish I wasn't.

vienna waits · 09-21-2002, 07:40 PM

im not obsessed but i love getting good grades.

Montana Ponine · 09-21-2002, 07:43 PM

I'm definitely not grade obsessed, but if I ever got below a B on any report card, progress report, etc., there'd probably be a good chance of my killing myself. That's not grade obsessed, right?

One of my friends cried over an A- once, which is what I'm guessing you mean by grade obsessed.

Czas na Zywiec · 09-21-2002, 07:43 PM

No, but I'm gonna have to kepp them up this semester so my GPA and class rank could get higher. Basically what I want is to get into a good college. When I'm there, all of my other worries will basically disappear.

I'm sorry I meant like getting a B or lower but I obsess about it.I do sometimes get upset when I get an A- depending on what subject it is.I'm obsessed with getting straight "A"s all the time.

So I don't count as grade obsessed right?

Kristina · 09-21-2002, 07:57 PM

No, I don't care. I mostly get C's and D's so I really don't give, I really want to drop out, I'm almost 16 so I'll have to see what I'll do.

Jordan · 09-21-2002, 08:03 PM

If I could get really good grades, I would be obssessed. But until that day, I'll stick to my Garbage obssession.

The only reason I care about what grades I get is because my parents get soooooooooooooooooooo pissed when I get bad grades...otherwise I could care less.

Crimson and Clover · 09-21-2002, 09:35 PM

no im not obsessed but it is nice to get good grades

Beruche · 09-21-2002, 09:38 PM

I used to be obsessed with grades last year. Luckily I got over that since I learned to except that I'm not smart enough to get perfect grades. I still try to get As on everything but I don't cry about it all the time if I don't.

Kay Scarpetta · 09-21-2002, 09:40 PM

Omg..... I'm a grade freak. Ok.... I cried once cause I got a 99% on a test. I forgot to capitalize something and got one point taken off and I went BALLISTIC! I must get good grades. I'm a highly meticulous person, a perfectionist even (or beyond), and whenever I don't get an A, I cry. I stayed in my room for 2 days this past summer because I had gotten a B+. I never came out except to go to the bathroom. And omg, wanna know something really really scary? I need help.

DarleneIllyria · 09-21-2002, 10:20 PM

I was more obsessed about passing. I was cool with any passing grade I could earn. I hated getting D's or F's. I didn't mind the other grades, just as long as they were passing.

I'm not sure how everybody's school works, but at the high school they worked on the credit system. You had to get 7 credits to be a sophomore. 14 to be a junior. 21 to be a senior and 28 to graduate. I made damn sure that I passed in order to get all the credits for the year. It would've been such a pain to get 20 credits and be in that in between mark- you weren't a full senior or a full junior- you were in between.

I earned every credit for every class I took. I had to earn at least a 70 to get a credit. Which, I did have those times where I was very close to not getting a credit for some classes. Then with the classes that I knew I couldn't afford to fail (Senior Lit), I did flash cards and studied them. Believe me, I've never been a flash card kind of person before. Flash cards are pretty easy to study by. It's always best to save up those extra credits too. My last semester of my senior year- were just filler classes. It didn't matter if I passed or failed the last semester,because I had my Snr. Lit credit and all my other credits that I needed. I still kind of pushed myself that extra way and passed the last 4 classes, so I graduated high school with 32 credits.
