Don't want parents to nag and annoy you? Find out what nags them and then do it right. Then do it all the time. Simple put, don't give your parents an excuse. If it's poor grades, then bring them up as high as you can (if you can, bring them up even higher). If it's a job, find one that pays a lot. My parents used to nag me about having poor grades and getting a job but once I aced my senior year of high school and got a job that pays me more than my mom or my dad, that shut them up pretty good. The only thing they nag me now is to find a wife so I'm sleeping w/ as many girls as I can so I can focus on finding a nice girl later on

Even with AP, if your D looks like a B, then you aren't in one of the hardest schools in one of the best districts in the country. Hell, my school district was very close to eliminating any weighting on AP classes so that the only incentive students would have to take them would be to challenge themselves, not for GPA boosters.

Community college to transfer to undergrad.
Hell yes. Many community colleges have some sort of "TAG program" where if you take the required courses and maintain a certain GPA you automatically get transferred to the undergrad school during your 3rd year.
I have friends who have tagged into UCLA, UCSD and CAL.
Makes me kinda regret paying the tuition fees for my frosh and soph year. But then again I don't remember my freshmen year which means it was good, right? =)

My school didn't give extra credit for AP classes. I wish they had, I would have had well over a 4.0.

[quote name='nikkai']Something I'm running into now that I'm applying to pharmacy school. There are graduate schools out there which will not honor the AP credit for retard math calculus 101. Which means you may have to take it again after graduating. ARGH. Freaking..... USC........[/quote]
Yeah, well I understand why they would do it. AP calculus was an utter joke compared to the calculus that I took in college. Better off taking something that is required, but not important to your major so you can get it out of the way.

I smell rebellion in the air
Seriously..who gets a D in english!? What...you read a book, you write a report...it ain't Calculus!
You have set the bar so high for yourself by being an eagle scout, working a job, and getting good grades that any sign of change is going to freak your parents out. Sucks, but thems the breaks.....believe me you're in a better position (Your parents Give a Shit, apparrantly) than a whole lot of other people out there, appreciate them at least for what they are TRYING to do (set you up for a good future, despite yourself).
If you made Eagle Scout, you should be able to sit down with your parents and ask them "Ok, why are you coming down so hard on me". Let them know that YOU KNOW that getting D's in anything is basically Unacceptable. Once you convince THEM that YOU are onboard the "Self Improvement" Train, they'll probably let up a bit. Work out a compromise...but don't think that because you want to be a Math Major (or whatever) that you can blow off Art and English classes or whatever.
As for your brother, no offence, but he's not sounding like much of a role model. Sounds alot like the guy got real lucky...and the thing about luck, is that it runs out.
You can own your own business and make $100K every year......and that usually means you also work 24 hours a day. There aren't alot of people out there bringing in that kind of scratch without putting in constant effort, no matter what they do....build houses, cut lawns, or sit at a desk.
You'll work it out.......just remember your parents are looking out for you, and when you're so good overall (which is, btw, a very good thing) any "slip" is going to register louder than if you were some average shaq-fu Up

Rebel. If your parents are like 40 and stuff, you can handle them. You're 16, and just turn on the t.v. If they turn it off, getting 
ing mad, and they might back off. This might work, might not. Please note I am not responsible for any domestic disturbances. If you do use this advice, you may not mention me to the police! 
:lol: :lol: .
Or you could just do this a little longer, try real hard to make your grades go up, and if they still keep this up, go back to the previous plane. Good luck!

No, it's just a different test. From what I understand its kind of the same thing but they score it differently. I think a perfect score is 35 or 36. The colleges I applied to took either one.

No the ACT is another college entrance exam similar to the SAT. Some schools want the ACT scor, others want the SAT score.

OK so here's the thing. In high school I was an eagle scout, I had a job, I did a sport, AND I got good grades. If I came home with a below average (for me) progress report did my parents get on my case? You bet your ass they did.
Here's what's going through your parent's minds: "We've got this kid here who is pretty smart, and he comes home with 2 Ds. Something must be wrong." They make think you're on drugs or getting into trouble, or they might think that you are getting lazy. If you're getting Ds in HIGH SCHOOL when you are capable of more than it is one of the two.
The single most important lesson to learn in life is this: Do not be lazy.
That's it. It's a simple as that. If you work hard and stay focused then you will make the most out of your life. Maybe your parents have figured this out and are trying to pass the lesson onto you. In a few years you will look back and realize that your parents were totally right.

Uh. Don't do that. Those that went to community college and tagged into a great college had motivation. You sir, from the statement above, lack that and may not be as fortunate if you don't try.

everyone else is saying things about how if their kid was getting D's too, and while i agree (slthough i mega-sucked in high school) if youre getting D's you should be encouraged to study more.
you dont sound like a person who gets drunk every weekend and skips every class (again, guilty on class skipping) i think your parents are just over reacting on a large scale.
sadly, i doubt they will lissen to you if you go to them and explain how you feel that they are being unfair. i have a huge problem with most people parents tho, parenting shouldnt be about punishing you in a way that is the least work to the parents. parenting is work.
IMO a good solution to getting D's would have been grounding for a week, and after that, youd have to show tests/hw grades you got back, as long as there were improoved, no punishment.
but again, thats just me.

in terms of actual knowledge, ya, high school was a waste. The stuff I learned in high school could've easily been compressed in 1 year instead of spreading it out 4 yrs. I say take the GED test if you really wanna get out of HS sooner than usual. In defense of HS however, while a waste educationally, they were some of the most fun I've had in my whole life... but then college was still better fun-wise Plus there won't be any parents to watch over you so if you're of the mischievious nature, you can get away w/ a lot more BS... that is, if the cops don't find out :lol:

You know what's really messed up though? Most ppl forget that grades don't just end once you get out of school. When was the last time have you heard of a loan officer asking for your English grades when needing a loan for a car or a home? NEVER. It's all about the credit. But ppl don't realize that their credit scores are their new 'grades'. Education helps you get your foot in the door but it's intelligence that gets you past the door. Just a lil warning once you get booted into the 'real world'.

suck it up man, its only freaking high school. HS is so easy compared to college. I took "hard" HS classes and got good grades without doing any work. My parents laid off my back cause I got things done. The only way you will suceed in college is if you can get things done on your own. Learn to do it or prepare not to be an engineer
Junp down to regular ass history, that is what I did high school. The only classes I ever took in AP or Honors were science, and math classes, they are really good to take if you are trying to be an enginner. By the way major in Astronutical, and Aeronautical Enginnering, it is the best.

Alright here's the deal man:
Your parents love you and don't want you to be hurt. They're not perfect parents, but they do what they think is best for you. If you don't like it, there are thousands of abused kids and millions of broken families that would love to trade places with you. Or you can stop thinking about "me me me me" and start looking at this from their perspective and actually have a rational conversation to them about it, exhibiting your maturity.
Question: When was the last time you told your parents you love them and appreciate everything they do for you. When have any of us.

[quote name='Tennisjon2002']Yea my parents have been pissing me off lately. I am 16 and a decent student in school and I am nice to them but they have been pissing me off lately by it seems like just trying to make my life miserable. I am about 2 be perminatly grounded b/c my parents are asshats like that.
So school year started and I was pretty free and I didn't really abuse my freedom at all I went out once or twice a week during the weekend and like once a week during the week for like an hour or so. Then i got pogress reports and I had 2 D's one in an AP Class (US History) and one in an honors class (english) (and btw I am looking into being an engineer so these classes are not the most important) but my GPA was still like 3.2 or so.
Well to make a long story short for like the last 4 or 5 months or so I have only been able to go out once a week and not allowed to do anything afterschool (besides what my mom wants me 2 do like tennis and things like that, I love how I was able to drive her around for like 2 hours thursday and help her out but I am never allowed to be out like that during the week) I always have 2 come straight home and stuff, like I went out to eat one day (Japan express $3 student meal AC) becasue I didn't get to have any lunch at school and she starts yelling at me.
I now have tutoring afterschool 2wice a week and I have to stay on during lunch twice a week and go to teachers. I am not allowed to touch the TV or xbox during the week and my mom has even stated bitching at me on weekends now if I just try to watch like a 30 min show. I know I am just going on and on about stuff but I need some advice. like my parents do this to bring up my grades yet since they started it, it has made my grades actually go down and making my life miserable.
I really try in school and stuff but my teachers royally suck ass this year. My mom always says shit like "you can be studying" like if I try to watch TV ever even on weekends. Like she expects me 2 study and work 24/7/365. So what can i do?? I need advice on how 2 get my parents to back off and chill out. like shit just keeps getting worse. My friends dad even told me he thinks my parents are out of thier mind.[/quote]
just be responsible, go to tutorials in school, get your grades up, dont suck, dont rant, and stop being mean to your parents...they are the ones who take care of you. once you are a parent yourself, you'll look back on this and think about how you were a little spoiled pain in the ass to your parents....lol, just saying, be nice to them, they might lay off a bit. going on and ranting behind they're backs doesnt prove to them you are mature and responsible, does it?

Then i got pogress reports and I had 2 D's one in an AP Class (US History) and one in an honors class (english) (and btw I am looking into being an engineer so these classes are not the most important) but my GPA was still like 3.2 or so.
Well to make a long story short for like the last 4 or 5 months or so I have only been able to go out once a week and not allowed to do anything afterschool (besides what my mom wants me 2 do like tennis and things like that, I love how I was able to drive her around for like 2 hours thursday and help her out but I am never allowed to be out like that during the week) I always have 2 come straight home and stuff, like I went out to eat one day (Japan express $3 student meal AC) becasue I didn't get to have any lunch at school and she starts yelling at me.
I now have tutoring afterschool 2wice a week and I have to stay on during lunch twice a week and go to teachers. I am not allowed to touch the TV or xbox during the week and my mom has even stated bitching at me on weekends now if I just try to watch like a 30 min show. I know I am just going on and on about stuff but I need some advice. like my parents do this to bring up my grades yet since they started it, it has made my grades actually go down and making my life miserable.
I really try in school and stuff but my teachers royally suck ass this year. My mom always says shit like "you can be studying" like if I try to watch TV ever even on weekends. Like she expects me 2 study and work 24/7/365. So what can i do?? I need advice on how 2 get my parents to back off and chill out. like shit just keeps getting worse. My friends dad even told me he thinks my parents are out of thier mind.

Just be thankful that your parents shaq-fu'd and now your here.
I agree with one of the early posts. You should chop 'em up and eat them over the course of a week. Don't leave any evidence. Even eat the knife or saw that you use.
Oh wait, I take that back, just do what they say. You live in their house and under their rules.

It's really up to you what to do, because... well, it's your life. Your brother is pretty lucky that he ended up with good money. However, remember that his wealth is just from luck.
Here's a story from the opposite side of the spectrum:
I was an excellent student in high school. Hell, I was an excellent student throughout my entire life. In high school, I accomplished several great feats, including (this is not a complete list; just whatever I can remember at the moment):
1. Ranked #5 out of the entire graduating class (of about 400)
2. 4.0 GPA ( out of 0 - 100 my GPA was about 103.5)
3. First student in district to ever score perfectly on state testing
4. Good SAT and ACT scores
5. National Honor Society member
6. Active in community service, volunteering, etc.
7. Received various numerous awards
There's more, but I can't remember everything. You'd think that I would have an excellent chance at college and a bright future ahead, right? Unfortunately, I found out the hard way. It was heartbreaking.
I found that my applications would be accepted at any college I wanted, basically. I received numerous acceptance letters. However, out of all the school financial aid requests, grants, scholarships, and just about any other way to get money for college, I was denied. I applied to every scholarship, grant, and God knows what else... but all I kept getting were letters of denial.
Basically, I could go to any school I wanted.... but I had to pay full price, which is impossible.
Meanwhile, I see several people around me with huge scholarships, full free rides, and a ticket to a higher education. For those that had similar stats to mine, I don't see anything wrong. However, a lot of these people with the free tickets were... well, I don't know whether they deserved them. These kids were either poor or average students; I knew them and they basically just did enough work to pass their classes. Also, these kids' parents made a crapload more money than my parents did, so it's not a question of financial need.
I haven't been able to go to college, but I remain hopeful that one day I will. I won't give up on my dreams.
So, I guess it all comes down to this: even if you work hard, it's still just luck when it comes to your future. You can be the next genius Nobel Prize winner, but you might end up flipping burgers somewhere. You could be a lazy lowlife scumbag, and you could end up as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
I would also advise that you work on both academics and social interaction. Basically, you need to be both an intellectual, and well-liked and popular. Unfortunately, society demands perfection, and even if you have the skills for the job, you may not get hired simply because they don't like you.
But overall, don't give up. Just work on things, and they will work out.

Have you tried getting a Pell Grant or a Perkins Loan? Those are gov. subsidized and they're very lenient on paying back the loan. Give those a look.
