Gosh so much to respond to.
@Monkey, yikes, I'm sorry to hear that. My parents haven't threatened to throw me out due to grades before. It sucks when people just don't understand that. And tbh, it *is* hard to understand what a person is going through, because people's brains and logic work differently from person to person. Not an excuse, of course, just a statement.
Also, that logic. I hate it so much but it also makes so much sense. Their house, their rules.
@Lemon Even if you don't legally need to have parent permission or anything... it's really hard to say no to a parent. Like, really hard. If they ask, refusing to answer is terrifying. If you try to hide it and they find out, it only ends up being more painful. At 22, I still can't resist my parents if they insist on an answer.
galled, I mean, the advice sounds good and all, but it also sounds scary and stressful as all get out.
