Should I show my mom my bad grade on my progress report?

So, I just found out today that I'm failing, FAILING chemistry. I've worked SO hard in that class, and I've tried everything from teaching myself to tutoring. I've moved past blaming the teacher because he doesn't necessarily know how to teach. I'm trying to take responsibility and learn it myself, but I just don't understand the material. I've nNEVER even gotten a C+ until chemistry! On my report card i had gotten a D+, and my mom took away Muay Thai(which i'm paying $134 a month for myself). The interum has to be signed by a parent. I knwo that if she sees I'm failing, she'll take away EVERYTHING. I love soccer, and she will not let me play the season if she sees my grade. She knows how upset I was when I got the D(was a blubbering mess), but she still grounded me. She'll even make me quit my job. Shoul I just let someone else sign it and not show it to her? I don't want to lie, but this year has been really stressful for me and soccer gives me something to look forward to everyday.

Should I show my mom my bad grade on my progress report?
You should probably tell your mom because if she finds out you hid it from her then you will get in even more trouble. Have you tried talking to your teacher about your trouble in chemistry? Maybe you could convince your teacher to let you do some extra credit or something else that could improve your grade. If you take your report card to your mother with a plan of action on how you are going to bring your grade up then she might not be as angry.
Reply:yea
Reply:I know what i'm SUPPOSED to say and what i may be EXPECTED to say, but I wouldn't show her. You said yourself that you tried. She sounds like she's in drastic measure mode, if you have a good fake signature, do it. But try harder, talk to her about it! if you have the type of mother that listens and understands then show her the report card, if not...break it to her gently the next time!
Reply:I don't condone lieing to your parents. I think you should show it to her and suffer the consequence. You can show her where you have tried to teach yourself, show her how you reached out for tutoring. Maybe she'll be a little less painful on you. I mean I hate to see you get in trouble, but are you stressed and not doing well in school b/c you have too much going on in your life (other than school) and that's why you couldn't focus on chemistry? I know you're scared to show her, b/c you're right, she probably will ground you and take away a lot if not all. I'm hard on my kids as well when it comes to grades, but the minute I take it all away and they know I'm not messing around when it comes to grades, they shape up and the next report card has at least a 2 grade better on it. Sorry sweetie, I think you should just tell her the truth otherwise what do you think she'll do when she find out you got someone else to sign it!!!
Reply:Yes, by all means show your grades to your Mom, because she will know it one day soon, then she will lose her trust in you, and that is not good, don't ever try and hide anything from her, and she will always trust you, and that will be better for you and her, and will always make your relationship with her to be a loving one!
