AHHHH

[gtodude]

this is pretty much the worst day of my life. my first game is tomarrow and i am supposed to be starting, but i have a b- in math and my mom freaked and so i cant play. this means three things, there is no chance of me being a captain, it makes me really pissed, and i have the risk of getting kicked off the team, all because of one b- and thats not even a bad grade. i have been playing for 8 years and this is a really bad impression for my new coach, what are your overall thoughts and what can i do to get back on my coach's good side

[laxer6]

A B- may get you kicked off? Is this your mothers rule or the schools? Tell your mom to relax your a kid you don't need this stress you'll get plenty when your older.

[gtodude]

its not the b- that would get me kicked off, its if i miss a game

[swish7209]

tell her to let you play and if you don't make an effort to raise your grade up then let her, it's not fair to get you kicked off the team mabey you had a bad day, who knows?

[EastCoastDeft]

are you in AP, honors, A1, or A2 classes? you could always just take your lax gear and runaway until she stops freaking out.

[gtodude]

im in a2 math and she is freaking out (i think its cuz its around the 28th of the month if you know what i mean)

Well in that case the logical thing to do is to run away with your lax stuff. That or, you know, talking to her...

[HyltonLax88]

why would you get kicked off....Tell your coach that your mom will not let you play until you raise it to her expectations. This is a little unfair on your part but a way to let your team/coach know the problem. If your coach is understanding, he shouldn't kick you off.

[MiddieMan05]

have a good talk with your mom and let her know your willing to work hard to get your grade up and just let her know how much lacrosse means for you. If she won't change her mind, talk with the coach to let him know your not skipping a game from being lazy or irresponsible, you just aren't doing so well in school and need to work on that for a while.

[Kr3wLaxUno]

tell your mom that if she dosent let you go to the game then you would get kicked off the team and then fail out of school because you have nothing to look foward to in life (my sister did that once for pom or something)

[Bretmac]

crying works some times or you could pull the hunger strike thingy

You live a charmed life. Talk to your mom; believe it or not, most parents are reasonable. Work out a study plan with her, and see if she changes her mind about the game.

Forget your mom and talk to your dad, he understands because it's about sports.
B- is not a bad grade, and it's for math, the most boring thing on the planet.

If nothing helps, just take your lax gear and go anyways.

[brineman9]

ok if i talked to my mom about that ( she gets very upset at B-'s too) she just yell like crazy. if you chose the run away option go to a friend on your team and bring ALOT of close bcz once you mom finds out your toast.if you go to the game with out her noing and when you get back come home in jeans and a tee with a few books in hand about math and say u went to the liabray.i think the best bet is to ask your dad..

[murderlax]

talk to your coach.
your coach should be one of your outlets for someone to talk to. he should be approachable and responsible enough to help his players on and off the field.
a good coach should understand that school comes before lacrosse, and that if youre parents arent letting you play for that game due to grades, than you cant play that game.
you can have your coach speak with your parents and try to reason with them.
although i think your coach should first explain to YOU his reasoning behind why he feels that a kid wont play in a game if he's trying get his grades up.
plus if he's "that kind of coach" than i would rather choose not to play for him at all.

[BasicTraining]

tell her your staying after school with the teacher and play, take a shower after the game and go home.

[EastCoastDeft]

sorry but A2 is the lowest of math classes so if you have a b- in that...colleges...self explanetory. talk with your guidance counciler or RUN AWAY (my original idea)

[BeaverFondu]

Ummmm, running away is probably the worst thing you could do in this situation, that and lying to her about playing in the game. That really should be self explanatory.

Also, having a B- for one quarter in a class, depending on where you want to go, won't screw you college wise. Just take it easy, talk to your coach, talk to your mom, if possible, get them both together and have a three way conversion about the whole thing.

[gtodude]

thanks, i took krewlax's advice and convinced her, i would have talked to my dad but, well, he just up and left when i was six so if i see him again i highly doubt math is the first thing ill talk about

[Live4It]

Think of these 2 options, and which has worse consequences; situation 1: You listen to your mom, she doesn't allow you to play in the game. Situation 2: You go behind your mom's back, somehow get to the game and play, your mom will be pissed at you, but, you don't have to worry about having really long term lacrosse related effects.

And dude, if your mom flipped out over a b, she's a psycho, no offense. But if my mom did that, and said I couldn't play, and be at that game so fast, I wouldn't even care what she said, I'm not a bad/disobedient kid or anything, but that's BS.

[gtodude]

i agree sooooo much dude

[mnlax9]

so did you play??

[Kr3wLaxUno]

Wow your like the first person to take my advice .. Watch out Dr. Phill here I come!!

[gtodude]

haha, th dr.krewlax show. id watch it. and yes i was able to play

[Kr3wLaxUno]

Now that sounds alot better than Dr. Phill... I think that ill ask Oprah to put me on her show and I will do the same thing as Dr. Phill
