I Was Punished For Bad Grades

My last tests didn't go as expected, now I'm grounded for a month. 😭

Did you do your best on your test or did you just slack off?
If you did your best, a month is too much, if you slacked off then it fits.

@OlderDude I do that for sure Sir. Moms super strict, she always wants us to be perfect, or close by anyway.

How about you strive to honestly do the best you can at what your doing, instead of trying to achieve that false idea of perfection? I am a perfectionist at heart, and that has just brought me nothing but anxiety and depression at not achieving the rediculous standards I put in place for myself. So now, I do my honest best. And try to find your passion, then you will automatically do your best because you will love what it is your doing
Your mom needs to relax a bit too, start to celebrate the victories instead of punishing the misses.
Your doing great, and so is your mom. Shes trying to get you on a good path, but punishing doesnt ever lead to long term success. It just leads to isolation

@OlderDude Thank you for you're very fine and inspiring words Sir, I have to think about this.

Well, the grounding should give you enough time to study properly. But why are you allowed on social media while grounded? I do not think that's the best idea...

Anyway: grades are important. Study hard and diligently. That's the way to go.

I was banned of the computer and internet for a week, but now I'm allowed because I need it for school purposes, and about the social media, this is the only I'm allowed to be for the moment. Mom monitors this from up close.
