So let me tell y'all what up. I have an F in one of my classes BUT WOW I NEVER GET F'S!!! I'M ALWAYS STRAIGHT A'S AND I'M A PERFECT STUDENT!!! HOW CAN THIS BE?!?!?1!!1 oh my freaking word. i won't DIE if I have an F! everyone's freaking out and thinking that something's wrong but the only thing wrong is THE EDUCATION SYSTEM! Why?!?! Why are we judged on LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET?!?! That's the stupidest thing in the world! I almost want to fail all of my classes to prove to people that failure is possible even for freaking 3.8 GPA, A honor roll people like me! Somehow it's a gift that I am able to remember things better than others and thus I can pass classes but sometimes I swear it's the worst curse I've ever had! There's so many high expectations for me! Everyone's always like, "OH! YoU havE gOoD grADes tHAt mEan u iMmOrtAl aNd arE inCApabLe of FAilUre!" Guess what, beans! This straight A freak has AN F! Everyone's making me feel like a horrible failure but that's a lie because I am more than a letter or a number. I am more than my grades because I am a human being! I refuse to become a slave to this system! Sorry. I had to get that off of my chest! And I feel good now. Slightly better. Like mildly cleaner garbage. Thank you if you read all of that.

I feel you. I'm sometimes tempted to just say "screw it" and stop trying, but meh. Did you intentionally get the F?

I just thought an assignment was due this week but it was actually due last Friday and it's a big assignment apparently (though we were never told that) so yeah

Glad you got that out of your system.
Getting an F isn't the end of the world, and the people who put high expectations on you need to realize that and cool it. Grades are silly, and so is the rest of the school system. It's based on pure memory testing, which is not a good way to learn. Applying the information should matter; memory isn't everything. Sadly, the schools don't know that. Or they do and just don't care at all. You're right that you're a human and not a letter or number. You're also not a failure.

No such thing as an F in my school. It's either C+ or death. Pretty stressful.
What grade are you in if the assignment is about letters? Just curious, not trying to be demeaning.

It's always been me that's hard on myself, rather than other people, tbh. I've been a straight-A student for as long as I can remember-- so whenever I do less than nearly perfect, I get upset. I remember crying more than a few times sophomore year because chemistry was my worse class, and occasionally I scored like an 88 on the big exams. Which may not sound bad to other people, but I'm used to hovering at a comfortable 95 for most of my major tests.
Again, I've never felt pressure from other people to live up to this standard I've set for myself. I guess part of it is a ego problem for me-- I've come to associate straight A's as smart, so whenever I get anything below it, I feel stupid. Even though I know it's not really true. I've had a 4.0 throughout high school, and I think it went to my head.

I'm a junior in high school and what I meant was that everything seems to be about grades all of the time and that's what I meant about letters because of the grading scale. Sorry if I didn't communicate that well. I was angry at the education system

I mean... it's my grade, but it's incredibly hard to not voice my frustration. I've been trying to change this, but so far it isn't working. Doesn't help that I used to be disciplined.

yo same i have a 57 in English, but that's because I was stupid and didn't read a stupid passage so I got most of the answers on a quiz wrong.
