I have been out of school for almost 20 years now. In all of that time no one has every asked me about my GPA. What has mattered is my attitude, my work ethic and my response to my supervisors. Straight As means you have good raw material, the ability to study and a strong mind. It has nothing to do with what kind of person you are. In the end it matters more what kind of person you are than how smart you are.

Again.. 100% agree.. all the straight A's in the world wont help you be a success in life..
Noone will hire you and you WONT keep a a REAL job long with the attitude you have now..
Sorry, but its the truth..

Also, when your older and sadly you lose your mother or father... your A's wont matter

, what you'll remember is how you made your parents walk on egg shells and how treated them like dirt..
And you'd give ANYTHING to go back to treat them differently.. but it will be too late.

But you know it all, so you'll have to experience this stuff the hard way... *sigh*
Good luck..

I'm in grade 12 and looking into universities for next year, at this point, its my marks that are going to get me into the school and courses that I want. After that, when I'm applying for a job, yeah it'll be my attitude.

When my dad was diagnosed with cancer NOTHING mattered other than his staying alive. The fear of losing him was almost more than I could bear. I would have happily done anything and everything possible to help him. Thankfully he came through chemo and has a clean bill of health now. The experience was scaring though. There is now a constant hum of fear in the back of my mind knowing that one day I will lose both Mom and Dad. I had never before been struck by their mortality. It was life altering.

Your parents love you in a way that is different than the love from anyone else on the planet. Once they are gone, you never get that back. Don't waste it now. It is such a precious gift.

I don't treat my parents like dirt, it sounds bad when I write it and you guys are making it sound a lot worse then it is.

I agree, i am the MOST stubborn cuss there is ..

But still, theres a line you dont cross.. and it seems Hollys parents gave up/ have written her off , and didnt teach her those VERY valuable life lessons..
Thats just wicked sad..
And 100% agree on the last sentence also..

maybe written off, maybe just too tired to do it anymore. with a child committed to raining holy terror on them at the lightest touch, they may be worn down past the point of being able to do it. they may be afraid to make a move.

sad either way. and trouble brewing because of it.

but then, I can't imagine trying to raise *me*. hard headed, stubborn, touchy, difficult, complciated terrier that I am. was. before life taught me how much that *didn't* work. I sure had to get run over alot before I got it, though. Holly might have to also - some of us aren't happy with the easy lesson, we're tough and need our lessons the hard way - nothing short of getting hit with a bat gets through.

of course, that, too, is open to change if one chooses. I try to take the easy lesson more often now. fewer lumps on my head that way.
