Ok, what will you do if you were I?
I used to get good mark for all lesson. and this semester I feel my school going like a hell. I can't get any good mark for all lesson. Ok, just like others I don't really care. but my parent really care about it. I got a paper of my marks report and I don't know how to tell them that I have decreasing of my intellegence. and surprisely, I can't hide this paper.So what I am gonna do? I hate to lie but I won't my parents angry?

Your parents have a good reason to care because the better an education you have, the better paying jobs you will be hired for in the future and the better life you will have as all parents want for their children.
Anyways you may as well be truthful and show them. I mean I'm sure this isn't the first or the last time they will get angry at you about something. Its part of life

hey friend,
first of all thanks for sharing your problem over here with friends like me over there.friend, tell the truth to your parent ,saw them the report of your marks too. i think they can also understand your problem.you can get low marks not for your less intelligence .it may be happen due to subjects ar tough.friend,tell me how much marks the other person get in your class.if they also get bad marks as compared to before.then,this will happen due to difficulty of subject. i think your parent understand and help you.
have a nice day

well whatever you may say about your brains being degraded.. the fact remains that your level of committment to studies have decreased... but coming to the matter at hand.. there is no way you're going to get out of this except doing it the hard way.. if you are ready to do what it takes to make your parents happy, then you can go straight to your parents and show them your marks and confess you did not care about your studies this semester, but you will do it better the next time and you should really mean it when you say this. They will yell at you and all but eventually they will take your word for that. But if you don't really mean it and make some lame excuse to escape from it this time, mark my words...years from now you'd be sulking over the greatest mistake you ever made in your life.

Let me start by telling you that you are not decreasing your intelligence. There are many factors on why we fail or grades going down for a certain subject. It could be that the subject is too difficult for you and you need help on that or maybe your teacher is expecting too much from you. Another factor could be that your teacher is giving low grades too. Whatever the reason maybe, just show your paper to your parents to see their reaction. The longer you hide it from them, the longer will be your agony. Just show them and see how they react. If they asked you the reason, tell them the truth and just promise them that you'll try harder the next time. The reason they are expecting too much from you is because they believe in your capacity and they believe you can do it.
Goodluck to you!

Show them the paper and let them yell. Then try to calmly explain to them why the grades are down. It isn't that you are becoming less intelligent. Maybe the classes are too difficult this year. Ask them, politely, if they ever had a tough time at school. Almost everyone has. So, maybe they will be more understanding. Plus, promise them that you will work harder to improve those grades for the next report card
