Just wanted to show you my speech...and I want you to say what you think about it...I can handle it...
Before I came to Welby Way, I was in an elementary school that didn’t enjoy. That time, I was still in 1st grade. But then, my parents told me that I was accepted to this school. At first, I never really understood why this was such a big deal, and I only pretended to care. I absolutely regretted that. Never have I known that the next few years of my life could be so special. It was the first day of Welby Way, and also the first of 2nd grade. I had a teacher named Mrs. McNutt, who was different from all the teachers from the past school, making it hard for me. This was my first time in the magnet, cause all of the assignments weren’t easy.
There were a lot of projects, homework, and something called the “Reading Log”. At first I wanted to switch schools, just because I didn’t get all of the work, the teachers, and I also didn’t have many friends. But after all, this was only the 1st day of a new grade level. This may not have happened to some of you, but it had to me. I know sometimes you could accidentally miss your homework, get WAM’s, or not read everyday. It’s okay though, but without the saying “no pain, no gain”, maybe it wouldn’t be. Days passed and I’ve known some people longer and actually had a few buddies. I was happier, and every new day I forgotten about thinking of leaving this school, which was a good thing. Then there came my first official report card. Everything was fine, except for self-control. I can be a bit talkative, and my mom and dad also got very worried. But it was way worth it since I have people to talk to!
Then weeks went by, then the weeks turned into months, making it years. 3rd and 4th grade were a blast, but they weren’t easy, I have to say. But they were fun. Many kids knew me by now, and I could never hesitate to raise my hand during class if I needed help, or if I wanted to participate. After Summer Vacation, 5th grade came. I had a teacher named “Mrs. Metson”. I’ve seen her, but wasn’t really sure about how well, or how strict she was. I’ve always thought that 5th grade was the hardest out of the other ones, but maybe I could prove that it isn’t. Part of me wanted Graduation Day to pass by quickly so I could head out for middle school, and the other really didn’t want to leave some of my friends, even some teachers! But elementary school had to end sometime right? But you know what’s best out of them all? The big 5th grade trip, and the graduation party!
Even though I have only been here since 2nd grade, I feel I have been here for a longer time. Welby Way was nearly my home. Other people have different opinions about this school, but I am here because I love it here, and I always look forward to the next day when I see my teacher and friends. Most kids like it because they could socialize with other people, make new friends, and play sports and hang out in the yard. I have to admit, I do too. Going to middle school will be hard for me...and will also be hard for some of you because you will meet new teachers you have never met before, a new principal, and more kids. It will be a new experience for all of us. Right now us 5th graders are in the older kid zone, but once we get to middle school, you’d be all the way down to the youngest kids. Some are happy to be leaving, but deep down you will miss the people you’ve known the closest like the coaches, the friends you made, and the whole staff. But it’s okay, because sometimes change is good. Now for all who have listened, I’ve learned to make what’s most of what’s happening this very moment. Now we just have to deal with it. I will miss Welby Way Elementary School a lot. I hope you do too.
Graduation Speech?
If you're only just now graduating from Elementary school, then i have to say, your writing level is wayyyyy above your current grade. Your writing is excellent for your age, and i'm sure that many of the adults will think the same thing. Nicely written, and not a single negative about it. Good luck, and congratulations.
Graduation Speech?
wake me up when its over
Personally, I LOVE IT! You made me wish I went to Welby Way!
Remember to make eye contact.
its good
I never had an elementary or middle school graduation.
But anyways, for a 5th grader, that speech was actually
very good. No wonder you're the one that's talking.
Of course you have fragments and grammar errors,
but it's all about verbalizing well.
You're only in the 5th grade? Your parents must be very proud of you.
In my opinion, its a little on the surface. A graduation Speech should make you want to cry, and understand what you went through. Maybe you should add something about your favorite teachers, and the life lessons he/she might have taught you, and how you apply them to your life now, and how you will apply them to life in middle school. Thank the people that helped you out.
:) Excellent writing skills for your age and grade! Where is this school located?
considering you are only graduating from 5th grade this is pretty good...one suggestion I would have is to talk more about the school in general to help make the other students and parents feel more included instead of just talking about your own experience
I think it's very, very good! You spoke from your heart and I could just imagine how you felt when I read it. I'm impressed!
yawn, this a speech by a 5th grader? I doubt it.
hehe... McNutt...
thats a funny name...
the speech is good ,though it does sound a bit like a life story

Confused on how to plan out my future?
I'm 13 years old and I'm in grade eight. I will start grade nine next year except the conditions in the place I live are really annoying. Well let鈥檚 just say the high school that I can go to (the one that follows the same curriculum as I do right now) is about 2 hours away from the place I live in. Everyone does that but not everyone plans like me and I want the best for myself so I prefer not considering what everyone else does. The problem is, most people change schools (go to the one 2 hours away) in grade 10 because they think it's better to stay away from the crazy hassle as much as possible. I would do the same except the problem is that I always need a year to adjust to a new school, EVEN IF THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE SAME CURRICULUM AS ME! So I'm not sure if I should go and change schools in grade 9 or 10. I personally want to go in grade 9 but I'm not sure if I'm just wasting my efforts by going earlier than most people go. I want to get into a good university to be a good doctor, which means I NEED high grades. Right now my grades aren't so bad. This year I'm working a lot harder and my report card is due next week or so. But from previous experiences, I know I'll do well; last year my report card throughout the year was the same; 7 A's and 1 B. If I go in grade 10, I might mess up on my grades and I can't do that at any cost because grade 10 grades DEFINITELY matter a lot. If I go in grade 9, I don't mind messing up a little because some universities don't even look at your grade 9 grades. And I want to go in grade 9 because by grade 10 I'll be used to the hectic travelling back and forth and all, so I'll probably have more energy to stay after school and join extracurricular activities because as everyone knows, grades aren't the only thing universities look at. And one more thing, some universities don't even look at your grade 10 grades so if I actually do well in grade 10 by adjusting to the environment and all the year before, don't I increase my chances of getting accepted into a better university?
Confused on how to plan out my future?
i think you should go in grade nine so as you said you can get used to the travelling and you would increase your chances of getting accepted into a better university =)

I'm freaking out, and not sure what to do. Please read. Kind of long, sorry.?
My baby and I both have state run insurance, and the other day I got a letter in the mail saying we were being cut off. The reason, they stated, was because they feel they have lost contact with me. I lived in Kingman with my friend while I was pregnant, and one month after my daughter was born, I bought us a trailer and moved us 11 miles from Kingman to a small town called Golden Valley. I sent the Welfare office a change report stating my new address. You are required to fill out a change report everytime anything changes in the case. I always do. So anyways, they had to switch my case from the Kingman welfare office, to the Golden valley office. I called the Golden Valley office on March 2nd because my foodstamps were different, and I wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem. The lady I spoke to said that since I purchased a trailer, and am working full time, that my benefit amount was going to decrease. I told her that was ok as long as my baby still had insurance. I asked her if she needed any info from me at that time and she said no. So then the other day I get this letter, at my new address, that says I never put in a change of address, and that since they lost contact with me, our case was being closed and all benefits have been stopped. I freaked out. I'm like how could they have sent me a letter to my new address if I never put in a change report, and how could I have talked to someone in the Golden Valley office about my case if It was never transferred. So I called the office to find out what was going on, and the lady said they recieved mail back that was sent to me at the old address, and therefore assumed they had lost contact with me. Now I have to investigate the actions I can take or re-apply for benefits. Now, my baby is sick. She isn't running a fever, but her eyes are leaking this gross eye burger stuff, her nose is leaking, and she has a slight cough. My boss doesn't think she needs to see a doctor, but I am scared things might get worse. I have no problem paying cash for my baby to see a doctor, but I never have a bunch of money all at one time except on rent day. I don't have a bank account or a credit card. I get paid weekly, but now that my boss is taking hours away for my baby being at work with me, my pay checks aren't that great.
My question is, when you have to pay cash for a doctor, do they make you pay it all at one time? Like if we go there today, will I have to pay for it today?
I'm just absolutly at my wits end. We are do to go to a family reunion in Vegas in like 2 days, which I will now probably not go, and I had a doctors appt last friday for Tresa because that is when her eyes started leaking, but my boss had me cancel it because she really needed me here, and she said Tresa was just having a reaction to all the wind we have had here lately and that is why her eyes were leaking. I don't have a car, so my boss would have had to be the one to give us a ride, so I just did like she said and cancelled the appt. Now, I feel like the lousiest mom on the planet. Tresa is not really fussy, she doesn't have a fever, still smiles and all. She just has a leaky nose, and the stuff coming out of the corners of her eyes. On friday, the stuff coming out of her eyes was bright green. Today it just looks like normal eye burgers, but just a little bigger. She is coughing too, but also has been drooling like crazy for the past 2 weeks, and I read that excessive drooling causes them to almost choke because of all the saliva they are producing.
Anyways, you guys always have some of the best advise and answers. Do you think it sound like Tresa needs to see a doctor? If so, do you know about payment plans or anything?
Please, Please don't just tell me what a piece of $hit mom I am, because I already feel far worse than anyone could possibly make me feel, so you would just be wasting your time.
I'm freaking out, and not sure what to do. Please read. Kind of long, sorry.?
If you don't have insurance, you should check with your doctor's office as to what their payment policy is - they may require cash at the time of the visit, or they may bill you.
Welfare offices are so overwhelmed with cases it's possible that your address didn't get changed on all of your paperwork and that's why you didn't get some of the things they say they sent you. At this point it would probably be easiest to just re-apply for benefits - as long as you are still eligible, your benefits will date back to the day that they cut you off, and if you explain to Tresa's doctor's office, they may just bill you and wait for the insurance to re-start up.
Does the welfare office offer transportation to doctor's visits? I don't think you should rely on your boss for a ride or take her word for when your baby needs to go to the doc. The goopy eyes could be a blocked tear duct (which is very normal and doesn't need any treatment) or it could be an infection. Either way, with such a young baby, you should take her in to see her doctor. Cough and runny nose are really not cause for concern.
Don't freak out, you're doing the best you can! Just be sure to re-apply for benefits ASAP so your baby will have insurance.
Good luck!

if you make an appt at your pediatrician, then yes you need to pay at the time of the visit, but if you go to the ER then you can arrange a payment plan.
I would say, just this once, take your baby to the ER if you feel she needs to be seen. Most clinics will just not see a patient who doesn't have insurance, even if they have cash to pay up front. I believe an ER will bill you for the cost of treatment. You are not a bad mom, things happen to all of us.
I know how you feel I have a 13 week old son and worry everytime he coughs. Well my SIL workes at a clinic where they charge you based on your income and if you do not have money then, you can be billed. If you are considered low income, it might even be free, but all those benefits are just to be used in that clinic. If you need services they do not offer there, you will have to pay for them according to the policy of where you get those services. I hope your baby gets better and your medi-cal situation gets fixed. By the way my SIL workes in san diego, so if you are in that area, you can go to her clinic.
First off you are NOT a bad Mom you are doing the very best you can for daughter. But yes I would take her to the doctor It could be that she has a cold in her eye but It also could be an infection. With all the different illness out there it is not worth taking a chance. Hang in there all Mom's feel that way at one time or another. The other thing is listen to your gut we have this thing I call Momma gut instinct go with it. It better to be over protective than not enough. And your boss sounds like a jerk so take what she has to say with a grain of salt.
First off usually they ask when you apply or reapply for benefits if you have any unpaid medical bills for the last three months. it should still get paid by medicaid. Secondly go off on your case worker and ask to talk to a supervisor. If they don't get you the help you need to get your benefit reinstated call your local Ombudsman. It's listed in the government pages in your phone book. Good Luck and I hope Tresa feels better soon!
Wow what a story, sorry to hear of your issues with the Welfare office. Always remember that when you speak with someone always write down the date, time and the name of who you spoke with so that you have that for your records. believe me it has helped me out in a lot of different situations.
As far as your baby being sick, Im probably not the kind of person that you want to talk to about this, because I am the type of person that goes to the Doctors for the most minor things.
For the payment at the Doctors office, well that all depends on how the Doctor is. I know that my Doctor will allow you to make payments so I am sure if you explain your situation to the Doctor that they will work with you or if you have a County Hospital where you live, you could always go into the ER and they can not refuse you service and they will bill you. Watch out because going to an ER is rather expensive.
I hope I have helped you out some and I hope that your baby is getting better and you get your problems resolved with the Welfare office.
God Bless
I'm obviously not around your baby to get the best sense of the situation, but from what you describe I wouldn't be headed to the doctor. If she gets a fever, that changes things a bit but still no reason to run in to a doctor. Most likely its a virus that has to run its course, and just the first of a lot of viruses your child will have during her childhood. You can't run to the doctor for every little thing. But, if you feel the situation warrants a trip to the doctor then go.
All doctor's offices are different as far as paying for service. Most of the time you have to pay in advance if you have no coverage. But if they don't know that you've been cut off, then you can always go and buy yourself a little bit of time until the bill reaches you. We have crappy insurance that doesn't cover very much. I know that it won't cover my daughter's trip to the dermatologist tomorrow, but I'll let them try to bill insurance first so that we have an extra 30 days before paying. I'd use the ER as an absolute last resort because it will probably cost at least 5 tims as much as going to a doctors office.
I would not be so hard on yourself. It sounds like you really care about your daughter. If she does not have a fever and is not being fussy I would say it is just a cold, make sure she gets lots of fluids, water and fruit juice, and some steam from a humidifier or a steamy bathroom might make her feel better. Gently wipe her eyes with a warm clean face cloth using a different part for each eye, if her eyes are infected you do not want to spread it from one eye to the other. If you are really concerned about her try calling the doctor's office or walk in clinic that is closest to you and ask them what type of payments you can make. I would also recommend you call the welfare office and do not hang up the phone until you get an answer, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor if they can not answer you. Explain your situation and demand to know why your insurance has cancelled if you notified them of your move and the proof is that your case was transferred to the new office. Explain to them that your daughter needs to see a doctor right away and don't take no for an answer. You may want to call the old welfare office and ask them as well, they may be more familiar with your case. Good luck with everything and I hope your daughter is feeling better, you sound like a wonderful and concerned mother.

Paypal fraud- how hard is it to get your money back?
My boyfriend found a $500 debit on his account this morning from paypal (and believe me- we don't drop $500 on ebay, ever). He called the bank and his bank is AWFUL and won't stop payment. He's going to call paypal to report it as the person changed the passwords to his account too.
A credit card of his was stolen about a year ago and he has since closed it, but I have a feeling the same person found a way into his paypal account.
Has this ever happened to you and what was the outcome? Is he going to get his money back- and when? People who do this sort of thing are just horrible and I don't know how I would live with myself stealing money from someone. Especially $500!
Paypal fraud- how hard is it to get your money back?
I can't believe the bank won't deal with potential fraud. Your boyfriend should call back and demand to speak with the branch manager, or he should go to the bank in person. They *must* deal with a case of potential ID theft.
Please have him continue to contact his bank about this.
I'm so sorry this happened.
Do you have any idea how the person got back into his account? Are you talking about hacking? Maybe look into how to prevent it in the future. My husband and I were hacked twice three years ago. Our bank was good and worked with us, though. It took about a month for their investigation but after that time, even though they didn't actually find the ID thief, they returned the money to our account.
Good luck.
Paypal fraud- how hard is it to get your money back?
You need to go to the bank and talk to a bank officer the debit can be reversed. This is why ebay and paypals have so much trouble. You might even visit with the district attornies office. Yhis is the crime of fraud also go to http://www.ftc.gov and report it there
I agree with melanie. It is hard to believe that the bank will not help you with getting your money back from paypal. They should be able to file a charge back for you for paypal. Perhaps the person you talked to was not very educated in these matters and you should try talking to someone else.
Something similar to this happened to me, but it wasn't PayPal related. Some of this may give your boyfriend some ideas to try...
My bank had called and said there seemed to be suspicious activity on my account -- a lost debit card # that had been closed maybe 7 years ago. So they wanted me to authorize three weird purchases on it.
The lady only was able to tell me a little about the transactions before me cell phone battery weirdly died. Call disconnected.
I broke my neck getting to my bank branch in about 15 minutes and told the customer service lady what happened. She looked it up and said they'd gone ahead and processed it. I was NOT happy - and told three different people at the bank this. They %26quot;had%26quot; to undo this, I kept insisting. I had bills to pay and this was going to cause a shortage...
They said it was their policy to go ahead and process these online purchases, as it wasn't the online stores' fault. They said I could dispute it after the fact.
I told them this wasn't good enough or fair. Or even logical: If the bank knew that use of this old card number was suspicious -- and was suspicious enough to call me for permission -- and I gave NO permission (due to the call being dropped by cellphone), then it's wrong to process it.
Days later, I learned that I'd screamed 'bloody murder' loud enough to enough of the right people. They didn't wind up taking it out of my account after all. ;-)
Bottom line: Get the Fraud Prevention/Investigation dept. (or whatever) of the bank on the phone. These people are out of state, at headquarters. But they have the juice to undo things and protect you, if you tell them you NEVER authorized this, and the bank should have known to ask your permission.
A credit card of his was stolen about a year ago and he has since closed it, but I have a feeling the same person found a way into his paypal account.

Something similar to this happened to me, but it wasn't PayPal related. Some of this may give your boyfriend some ideas to try...
My bank had called and said there seemed to be suspicious activity on my account -- a lost debit card # that had been closed maybe 7 years ago. So they wanted me to authorize three weird purchases on it.
The lady only was able to tell me a little about the transactions before me cell phone battery weirdly died. Call disconnected.
I broke my neck getting to my bank branch in about 15 minutes and told the customer service lady what happened. She looked it up and said they'd gone ahead and processed it. I was NOT happy - and told three different people at the bank this. They %26quot;had%26quot; to undo this, I kept insisting. I had bills to pay and this was going to cause a shortage...
They said it was their policy to go ahead and process these online purchases, as it wasn't the online stores' fault. They said I could dispute it after the fact.
I told them this wasn't good enough or fair. Or even logical: If the bank knew that use of this old card number was suspicious -- and was suspicious enough to call me for permission -- and I gave NO permission (due to the call being dropped by cellphone), then it's wrong to process it.
Days later, I learned that I'd screamed 'bloody murder' loud enough to enough of the right people. They didn't wind up taking it out of my account after all. ;-)
Bottom line: Get the Fraud Prevention/Investigation dept. (or whatever) of the bank on the phone. These people are out of state, at headquarters. But they have the juice to undo things and protect you, if you tell them you NEVER authorized this, and the bank should have known to ask your permission.
Is there a way to find professional email hackers/crackers and get them in trouble? Where 2 report the problem?
This message was sent to everyone in my contact list. The hackers changed my password and secret question and temporarily stole my account. Is there anyway to find out who they are, get them in trouble? Can I report the problem to anyone? Also, the address given in London is a fake one. I've included the hacker (cracker) email below:
How are you? I tried to reach you through phone before I traveled to inform you of my trip to the United Kingdom, I went for a program. I arrived a nights successfully. But presently, I have a problem in which i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel. Inside my wallet,I have most of my valuable items which I traveled with like my credit card, money and my telephone contact diary .
Please I need you to lend me about 拢1380. You should help me have it sent via Western Union Money Transfer so I can re-arrange myself and return back home. I will refund the money back to you once I am out of here . Below is the information you would require.

Your best bet would be to check your logs and also run a full system scan to try to find their IP address although i doubt it would do much good. If your a fair hand at code and you are infected with monitoring software you can try to reverse engineer the code and analyze the program to try to find out where they are running through and take it from there.
If you can do the above or at least get some functioning IP addresses security professionals may be interested but the police most likely will not.girl myspace reptiles

Is my friend to smart for his own good?
Well to start, report cards came out. My friend was thinking how bad his grades were an he decided he didnt want an *** woopin.
So he decided to change his. Couldnt be the ones they send home because they have special bars an crap so he thought outside of the box and at school teachers have access to your grades an can print up a simple form of your classes an grades on normal paper. So he got one of those waited for the other one to be sent home so he could take it an destroy it. Scans it puts it on the computer edits the grades to normal ones A's B's etc and keeps the F because he will have summer school an if his report card says other wise then he will get cought. so he changed his other grades to higher so he could explain to his parents math was just really hard an that would clear the madness of the F not just all D's and F's. waits the next day an gives it to his parents an he doesnt get in trouble and his parents were glad to give him math help. Clever or is he a smart dumbass
Is my friend to smart for his own good?
Basically, he'll probably get away with it with his parents... but the truth will come out when he either:
1) flunks
or
2) can't get any good grades in later classes because he didn't understand the basic stuff.
So sure, he might have saved himself some strife with the parents now... but as time goes on... it will show.
Is my friend to smart for his own good?
A very dumbass thing to do. He'll get caught.
Depends on if the parents notice that they don't ever get the official grades or not. I don't know how intuitive his parents are, but if they see at the end of the year that he has F's and D's, they are going to wonder how they got so low after the A's and B's.

I want your opinion on this situation.?
Ok, two months ago, I was going on computer after school everyday, and barely exercizing, so my mom told me to join Track team at my school.
I said I didn't want to, and after some arguing, she stopped talking about it.
I thought about joining later, because I DID want to get better at running, and track wasn't THAT bad, so I made a suggestion to her.
If I join Track team, when my online membership expires, 4/4/2010, about a month and a half before it expired, then she would rebuy it the day it expired, the same membership I had, for 6 months.
Ok, she agreed, like it was a pretty good deal.
I joined, and went to track practice Monday - Thursday, and on 4/1/2010, I got a progress report from my Algerbra teacher.
It said I had a 67 in Math, my parents were mad, but nothing changed. On 4/4, my membership expired, and I told my parents, %26quot;My membership expired, you have to renew it, since you said you would if I joined the track team%26quot;.
They said, %26quot;With your grades? No way%26quot;.
That kinda p!ssed me off, because I was running 2-4 miles a day, spending 2.5 hours extra in school, execersizing, spending time at school I could have been at home, playing on PC, but I kept my part of the deal.
I feel ripped off, it was only a 50 dollar membership, after they said they werent getting it, I said I would pay for it, all they had to do was get the online card, and they still refused.
I don't see how this is right, because I kept every part of my deal, and they couldn't keep their easy, money-less part of the deal, because of something that happened that had nothing to do with this.
Even if I had gotten suspended(but somehow still on team), I should get the membership.
Sorry it's kinda long, and whiny, but what do you guys think?
I want your opinion on this situation.?
Well, they should have handled the situation better. In my opinion it's never a good idea for a parent to make a promise or deal with a child and then when the child holds up their end, they don't. To me, it's teaching the child that no matter how much effort they put into a promise or deal on their end, the child will not get what the parent promised, thus helping the child to believe promises are broken. It's not a good thing to teach a child and they handled this wrong. I understand that they are worried about your grades, but honestly? They could renew your membership but restrict your computer time until your grades are raised. This way they are still showing you that your efforts to uphold your end of the promise did not go unnoticed, but you still have to maintain your grades in order to use the computer. This seems like a fair deal to me and you should mention this to them if you agree.
I want your opinion on this situation.?
wow your parents are being buck tards
Yup, long and whiny and you are wrong. You cannot FAIL in math and think because you run a little after school that somehow make it ok. I am sure when your parents made the offer it did not come with the thought that you were going to let your grades slip. Suck it up, improve your grades, keep running and show them you are responsible to do both.
Your grades going down is what is commonly called a deal breaker. Your grades are more important than track or anything else. In your immaturity, you can't see this, but, I promise you, your parents are making the right call here. You can play lawyer ball all you want, but you know in your heart that your parents only want what is best for you.
This is a tough one, because I can see both points of view here. I was once a kid. You made a bargain, %26amp; kept it %26amp; I can understand that you want what you feel is right. I'm also a parent, so I can see that they want the best for you. You need to get good grades to get ahead in life. They are probably thinking that you must have seen that your grade in math was going down before your report card came out, %26amp; they probably feel that you should have come to them %26amp; said that you can't keep up with track %26amp; keep your math grade up or that you should have put more effort in, by completely staying off the computer for a while. The track season is fairly short, %26amp; your parents are probably feeling that they didn't see you putting enough effort into your learning. My daughter is the manager of the girl's track %26amp; field team. She has some learning problems %26amp; math is really tough for her, she has to try much harder than others, but she got on the honor roll. I just can't help thinking that you kind of sloughed off a little here, %26amp; are trying to take the easy way out. That's probably what your parents are thinking too. You probably won't like hearing this. I'm sorry...it's just my opinion. Try talking to your parents nicely %26amp; tell them that you understand that they want the best for you %26amp; you'll try harder. Maybe it'll help. I hope so.
It is reasonable to say that your poor grade in math happened because you were spending too much time on the computer playing, so deal or not, it is reasonable for your parents to renege on the deal, as you reneged on your schoolwork.
I generally believe that when kids and parents have an agreement, they should keep the deal. But in this situation, they did the right thing. Sorry.
Your parents are right... if you don't have good grades.. which is your OBLIGATION, they shouldn't keep the deal... sorry.. next time get better grades.
that really is messed up. you should go to your parents and let them know you feel jipped and you guys had a deal. how about if your mom made a shitty dinner so you decided you don't have to do the dishes?
You shouldn't compare yourself or anyone you love to North Korea?
Just communicate with your parents. They are probably just doing what they think is right, and as you can see, most of us agree with there methods.
