Breaking bad news..

How would you break news to your parents? Such as forgetting to enter an exam....

Lothrian · 05-11-2007, 05:44 PM

Just say you think you failed it and do the summer retake.

So I'm supposed to sit around for 2 hours on four seperate occasions? I remembered my Biology, but my fucking math teacher never gave me the subject number for maths.

Thats not a problem for me...I failed the Math exams 4 times in a row, also Biology and Chemistry adds another 4....so 8 failed exams in less than a month...
Question is, how long will I live, when parents find out :S

eddie · 05-11-2007, 05:52 PM

^The ultimate question.
Exams are less than two weeks away, it's way too late to enter now. I did try, but the lady sent the form back in the post because there was no subject number.

blame your teacher, get your parents pissed at the teacher, have them call the school, get pissed at the principal, have the principal just want to pacify the issue and then you get into the retake. parents are a weapon to be wielded in your favor, you just gotta know what buttons to press.

unless youre in college, in which case i dunno. but high school is pretty easy.

yeah in college you actually have to take responsibility for yourself.

in high school just beg and plead and you'll be fine.

lol yeah, i got away with a bunch of nonsense in high school. sadly, those days are over. the key was to not go overboard with the begging and pleading. its a last resort.

Lol, college. I know college in America and most countries means university though.

I could blame it on the teacher, but as you said; I have to take responsibility for myself. I just need to know the best way to break the news.

The good news is I've been accepted by the college to progress further on to the next course.

just say listen, honest mistake, and that you feel bad about it.
It's not gonna kill you--I took 4 years off before I went back to college, what's one missed test
