Have you ever...

[Bacon Boy]

had your parents tell you to "try your hardest", but when you do, and you don't do that well, let's say on a test, but you still passed and you did your hardest, they get mad at you?

 

[Rawburt]

Disappointed sure, mad not really.

 

[Bacon Boy]

Disappointed sure, mad not really.

Well, not furious mad, but just angry with you.

My Dad gets made when I get a C D or even F on my tests. Then again, he was raised to get A's and B's on his grades.

 

[Carlist Fern]

Well I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume you have.

 

[Rawburt]

Disappointed sure, mad not really.

Well, not furious mad, but just angry with you.

Not really, my parents are pretty easy going, and as long as I don't make major blunders they'll be cool.

Though I'm sure I've disappointed them from time to time.

 

[Bacon Boy]

Well I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume you have.

You are correct in assuming this, but instead of ranting out like some people would, I'm calmly approaching the matter by posing a question and keeping my feelings bottled up inside.

 

[muffun]

My parents wouldn't become angry, but they'd be pretty disappointed considering they know I can do a lot better.

 

[Cottonball]

Sure?

 

[Trent the Paladin]

They'd get disappointed/pissed and:

A. Keep it Bottled Up
B. Get Onto Me About It
C. Get Onto Me About It while trying to kick my ass

Usually B.

 

[Thunder]

Nah, they replace encouragement with empty threats

 

[Ron Ronaldo]

They nag, with the occasional blowup.
And this is with good grades in AP classes. @_@
Oh them.

 

[Princess]

Haha I don't get "try your hardest"
I get "You better get above 90."

 

[Hub12]

Haha I don't get "try your hardest"
I get "You better get above 90."

Asians parents. :l

They're always like, "If you get an A, you fail. You need an A+!".

I don't think they do +'s anymore. :s

Of course a parent would care if you get an F or D, those are terrible grades!

 

[Vooloo]

Nah, they replace encouragement with empty threats

Same here :'D

My parents usually gets mad over a test grade lower than a B becuase they think I'm didn't try my hardest. Even though I was.
