tell your dad to get rid of the tutor! in that 3 hours a week, you could be photoreading or superreading your books and get a much better grade! your dad needs to realize this...
yea, im 16 and i dont think im motivated enough to commit much-needed time to photoreading. ill try but im a procrastinator all around.
"Well why not just accept them? Why not go join one of those groups?"
LOL! yes you need a few friends who understand you, but joining a clique is usually not good. cliques will put peer pressure on you if not now, they will later. with friends who understand you, you usually dont have to worry about peer pressure because they will understand your values and opinions and respect them.
im having to retake a 9th grade class in my 11th grade year, and i would be getting a lot of insults if it werent for my 100%+ grade and highest score on every test. its the same with you. even though your school is probably a harder curriculum, when you take some of the SAT's, PSAT's, and other standardized tests and score high, you will show everyone that you are smart. my last couple of years of high school, i didnt do very well. this year, i have all a's and 3 high b's, some people call me a genius when i answer questions that nobody else knows. respect among the ignorant is better than being dragged down to their level when you join them.
