I was shocked to see the grades of my sister, she has 3 failing marks and I am really disappointed for her. My parents work so hard to pay for her school fees and she's got a failed subject, 3 of them! I asked her what she's gonna do about it and she says, she doesn't know... how can she say that? how can she act so calm when my dad is already so mad at her? have you had failing grades before? what did you do about it and how did you feel about it? plase tell me cause i sure can't understand what my sister is thinking..

I've failed a couple of classes before, but they were at different times. (That is, I didn't fail more than one class taken in one semester.) Maybe your sister was having a hard time with the classes & couldn't help but fail. If she failed the classes there isn't really much she can do other than try harder with her future classes. Also, while she might seem calm on the outside, you don't know what she is thinking in her head. I know that when I told my family about my failed classes I seemed very calm, but on the inside, I was annoyed, & a bit worried that I'd fail more. If you want to understand what your sister is thinking, you're going to have to ask her. But realize that she may not want to disclose her true feelings, so don't be too forceful or pushy.

I think your her sister not her mother or father therefore should mind your own bussiness. Your only gonna cause trouble between you and her. so why bother. we all make mistakes and you should not be the one to repremend her,.. IMHO

I think you should take a long talk with your sister.Maybe there is something happended to her.I can understand your feeling,but she is only a child.As a elder sister,I think you have the responsibility to take care of her.Come on,you can do it.
