Ok, well my dad wants me to get really good grades. Because of that, he made me this deal.
If I get no F's and 1 D, he will take me to Summerslam
If I get no D's, he will take me to Summerslam and buy me front row tickets to the next WWE Event
If I get no Fs, No Ds, All Cs and a B in English, he will take me to Summerslam and buy me front row tickets to the next WWE Event and buy me a Mac Notebook.
Catch?
Grades
English: F
P.E.: B
History: F
Algebra: F
Biology: F
Guitar: C
It's half way through 1st quater. In the classes I am failing, I am failing with under a 40%
A) My classes are hard for me.
B) I am basically addicted to the computer, and TV, and Video Games. I'd love to stop to get my grades up, and I've tried, but God it's hard.
C) I just can't concentrate. I do have ADD, but it has NOTHING to do with the fact that Id rather eat or watch TV then do work or study.
Please, I need some tips/help!

Holy shit. I got all A's. What would your dad have given me?
You shouldn't be rewarded just because you didn't fail or do badly.

Thing is, Ive been a failure my whole life.
If straight A's were normal, he wouldnt be giving me this stuff. He really just wants me to pass.
Sorry if I sound spoiled, but just because everyone else on here is like "Back in the 90's when I was in High School if I got bad grades my dad kicked my ass!" But my dad has tried everything, and I still fail. He has kicked my ass, grounded me, so now he feels he should reward me.

Maybe if you would stop making excuses for why you have bad grades and just study you'd see an improvement. |

Literally, shut your computer off, unplug it, unplug everything and put it in a closet or something that you can lock and study your ass off. |

Anything less than an A in PE is very unacceptable. I'm afraid you can't be helped.

Goddamn man you really can't be motivated enough to actually try? I mean I wasn't too motivated in high school but I still got all C's and higher, and I didn't have any rewards.

And this is only for this time. Its not like this happens everytime. And Im sorry my dad has a good ing job so he can pay for stuff like this to motivate me to get my grades up. Sorry that you won't make good pay. Im sure if you can't be trusted shipping a couple of figures you won't be trusted in the real world. |

If I were you... id be getting a 360, a Wii, an HD TV, the NHL channel, AE and Hollister clothes, a REAL cell phone, a car of my own, fast internet, a computer for myself, tickets to a SINGLE WWE show (i'd even take the chaep seats)............ Because I get, more or less straight A's and I got non of the things I mentioned. And you get front row tickets, summerslam and a laptop for ALL Cs AND A B?  ? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD, I HATE SPOILED PEOPLE. Well... while im thriving in school and am well educated, you can play all your expensive videogames and go on your laptops and watch your HD TVs... they get you NOWHERE in life. Im going to hopefully bust out of my two star town and BE SOMEONE. Im not hiding behind a screen. BTW, I got one word for ya "STUDY" |

So despite the fact that those are symptoms of ADD it has nothing to do with ADD? Interesting.

I actually only have one thing you put on your list, a 360, which I saved up for from bday and christmas money. |
