[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to tell myself it’s actually quite good.  He has some LDs, and ADHD, as well as anxiety and a chronic disease.  He’s at a rigorous private that we’ve always told him he could leave, but he doesn’t want to largely due to sports and social reasons.  He’s a Junior and standardized tests are ok, not great.  He’s bright, but traditional academics and settings are hard for him.  He’ll be fine, right? [/quote]

To answer your question: yes I would be fine with that.  What is the alternative?  Would you banish him from your home?  Make sure you apply the rules to yourself.  Didn't get a promotion?  Can your kids live with this? etc etc.

Being a B student is not the end of the world!  It could be much worse...your son could be addicted to drugs or a drug dealer, dying of cancer, [b]get a girl pregnant[/b], killed someone

This is hardly in the same class as the others.

Many of our teens will get or get somebody pregnant. We most likely will never know (Unless you live in Texas or Ohio) but really it's gonna happen. [/quote]

Not true. Statistically, less than half of all teens are even having intercourse in the first place. Secondly, most of them are using birth control. Third, not everyone gets pregnant the first time they have sex without BC.

A minority of teens get pregnant these days. It's way down from the 80s.[/quote]
