I’m a junior in high school and my cousin who’s a freshman (supposed to be a sophomore) just moved here a couple of months ago and now we go to same school. I though this would be a chance for me to help her bring up her grades from teen-grades to at least a c+ or b (that’s hopeful).
She has ALWAYS done bad in school though. Ever since day 1, I can remember even as kids knowing she needed help and always attempting to play teacher, helping her remember simple math, etc, etc.
And now, it’s still like that in high school, only I know damn straight that grades do matter if you want to go to college and get a better job, you know the drill on that.
Everytime I ask her if she has homework she says no, which I know is pure bullshit because nobody doesn’t have homework EVERY SINGLE DAY. I still try to help her, like around midterms I wanted to help her study, but no she’d rather go read a magazine or watch tv. Typical, she’s so apathetic. It bugs me More...
